The Cereal Report: Chocolate Toast Crunch
The Cereal Report is a column in which PCFG conducts various cereal reviews, of new or limited products, as well as providing brief backgrounds on the cereal. Cereal is delicious and fairly cheap as far as meals go. Everyone should eat cereal!
It’s not everyday you see a new rendition of the Toast Crunch cereals. Lo and behold however, with the new year comes Chocolate Toast Crunch. People like Cinnamon Toast Crunch, people love chocolate, so Chocolate Toast Crunch should be a given right? Afterall the last one, Peanut Butter Toast Crunch was fantastic and the original Cinnamon sets a very high standard for its successors. Unfortunately Chocolate Toast Crunch is one of the weaker entries in this cherished line.

It’s been a long, brutal Winter. Fortunately Spring is on its way soon! Probably! To be honest, who the frig knows at this point. The vernal equinox is a day away, and it’s still below freezing here in New York. I give up. No matter, as springtime tends to be a time when cereal companies begin releasing new products, or so I’ve noticed over the years. Both brand new cereals, and limited runs from the past year or so, find their way onto stores, which I imagine might be something to do with the fact that people probably tend to eat more hot cereals during winter months. Either way, it’s an exciting time of year for the budding cereal enthusiast or anyone with an inner child. It may be obnoxiously cold outside, but that didn’t stop me from locating some new cereals to review. Just the other day, Meg and I stumbled onto this exciting, little treasure:

The Snack Report – Cookie Dough Oreos
So, remember a couple of weeks ago when I wrote a nice post about how good the new Oreo flavor is? This post…won’t be like that. A week after trying the Marshmallow Crispy Oreos, we tried the other new limited edition flavor, Cookie Dough. It would be fair to say that the experience was not as enjoyable as the previous one. Let’s discuss.
We Can Do it Better: Brownie Brittle
Okay guys, admit it, you knew this was coming, right? As soon as I said in my review of Brownie Brittle that it’s good, but expensive, you knew we’d be figuring out how to make our own. In reality we’ve been planning this even before I wrote the review article. What really pushed us over the edge into finally making it was when got our hands on the salted caramel flavor Brownie Brittle and were incredibly underwhelmed. We knew we could do it better, and now you can too!
The basic idea was just to make a brownie batter and instead of baking it in a pan, spreading it really thin on a baking sheet. In order to do this you need to have a baking sheet that has a rim, like this:
The rim will make sure your batter doesn’t go all over the place and burn in the bottom of your oven.
