To simplify things, let’s just say Love Crunch Dark Chocolate and Peanut Butter flakes taste like corn flakes dusted in a 2:1 mixture of crushed Cocoa Puffs and molasses. The chocolate sheen on every shard is very darkly sweet, with a bitter sort of semisweet cocoa flavor that’s tinged with burnt caramel. Because you don’t really do much. Each hardy flake has an impressive crunch and a glossy glaze, but its oily toasted maize flavor tempers its pleasant coating a little too much. And while the cereal as a whole is surprisingly, nay, shockingly good, I think I need to give credit where it’s due. While each piece glistens beautifully in the sunlight (I’d take this cereal out for a romantic, dark chocolate-covered red berry dessert any day), Love Crunch Dark Chocolate & Peanut Butter really does have a hierarchy. But I digress: let’s ↑ ↑ ↓ ↓ ← → ← → B A START this review. This new Love Crunch line of flake ‘n’ cluster foodstuffs also includes Dark Chocolate & Red Berries and Dark Chocolate Macaroon, but my ennui about fruity cereals and boycotting of macaroons until we get a French macaron cereal made my first flavor choice obvious.Īnd really, how could I lose, when all 3 flavors contain weirdly specific fair trade Italian dark chocolate that Nature’s Path probably impulsively bought like it was Milo’s Egyptian cotton? Real chocolate chunks are like a cheat code for cereals. Thus, Love Crunch Dark Chocolate & Peanut Butter Organic Cereal was born, ready for the well-mouthed silver spoons of people who can afford $4 boxes of cereal. “They’re all the same. We’re capitalists, for GORP’s sake: we need a hierarchy!” “Look at those pithy Puffs,” one doubtlessly said. No, while the most famous chocolate and peanut butter cereal is a sugary smorgasbord of twinkling cocoa spheres, downright pedestrian peanut butter puffs, and the persistent spirit of a million Saturday morning memories, the granola gourmands at Nature’s Path have conspired in their organically all-natural gluten-free ivory tower to produce a choco-nutty cereal with class. These ain’t your kid brother’s Reese’s Puffs.
