Dulce de Leche Cheerios Review and Prize Pack Giveaway

I love trying out all the new flavors of Cheerios when they hit the stores, so when I found out General Mills was coming out with Dulce de Leche Cheerios, of course I had to try it!

Dulce de Leche (pronounced "DOOL say day LAY chay") is a Spanish term for a thick caramel sauce popular in Latin America that inspired this new Cheerios flavor. And like all Cheerios cereals, Dulce de Leche delivers nutrition you can trust. It's a deliciously smart choice for everyone at your breakfast table.

With the same goodness you´ve come to know and love about Cheerios, the new Dulce de Leche flavor provides 39 percent of the recommended daily amount of whole grain* (* According to the 2010 Dietary Guidelines for Americans, the daily recommended amount of whole grain for most people is at least 3 ounce equivalents, which is equal to 48 grams. Dulce de Leche Cheerios has 19 grams of whole grain per serving).

I was fortunate to receive a box of Dulce de Leche Cheerios thanks to MyBlogSpark, and although I don't normally like a lot of caramel-flavored treats because often times I think the caramel flavor is too overpowering, the Dulce de Leche Cheerios were very delicious, with just a touch of caramel sweetness!

Although Honey Nut Cheerios are still my all-time fave, I still thought the Dulce de Leche Cheerios were really good.

There is, however, a huge fan of the new Dulce de Leche Cheerios - Smiley!

Not only will he ask for them for breakfast, but he'll ask for the "brown Cheerios" (referring to both the box and how some of the Cheerios are darker than regular Cheerios) for snack time as well!
