It's been a while since my last purchase of this cereal, probably at least 5years ago. I remembered them being awesome. I would often eat them at night as a desert. They had a good chocolate flavor and an excellent ratio of chocolate cereal to marshmallows. Unfortunately, this is no longer the case. They now lack chocolate flavor and there where very few marshmallows in the box. I did a little research and now I understand why. The ingredients have changed. Whereas they use to be made with whole grain oats, they are now made with whole grain corn.
Old Ingredients:
Whole Grain Oats, Sugar, Marshmallows (Sugar, Modified Corn Starch, Corn Syrup, Dextrose, Gelatin, Calcium Carbonate, Yellow 5&6, Blue 1, Red 40, Artificial Flavor), Corn Meal, Cocoa Processed With Alkali, Caramel and Beet Juice Concentrate Color, Corn Starch, Salt, Canola Oil, Calcium Carbonate, Artificial Flavor, Trisodium Phosphate, Zinc and Iron (Mineral Nutrients), Vitamin C (Sodium Ascorbate), A B Vitamin (Niacinamide), Vitamin B6 (Pyridoxine Hydrochloride), Vitamin B2 (Riboflavin), Vitamin B1 (Thiamin Mononitrate), Vitamin A (Palmitate), A B Vitamin (Folic Acid), Vitamin B12, Vitamin D. Vitamin E (Mixed Tocopherols) Added to Preserve Freshness.
New Ingredients:
What a shame. I will not buy these again!
