We'll just cover two things quickly and that's 1) if you believe this is a nutritional breakfast choice you are not healthy (#staywoke) and 2) Coco pops are delicious.
Coco Pops (or, Cocoa Krispies, as autocorrected to when you search on Google for reasons unknown) are basically delicious and very much something you eat after dinner for a fun snack or dessert, rather than first thing in the mornings. Furthermore, if you've ever tried Coco Pops Chex you will know they are the ultimate trash food and a solid 10000000/10, so it seemed natural that these would be a great new advance on a favourite. OR WERE THEY?
Coco Pops Chex are a chocolatey variation on Crispix, the ultimate cereal, so by logic, the household were hoping that this flavour would be a good progression from Chex to Chex Cookies & Cream. Basically this is just like the normal Chex with a few (and very few) pieces covered in white chocolate.
This is a bit of a problem since when you pour milk on top, the taste is kind hard to distinguish, and you're stuck feeling the texture without reaping the benefit of the flavour. It's almost like a hardened yoghurt around a piece which feels a little funny when you're eating it since the texture is slippery . Of course for research purposes I picked out a handful and tried them without milk and they were pretty tasty, but the point is to eat with milk so I can't say it was resounding success.
That's not to say that this product isn't still delicious - the milk becomes super chocolatey (not like a milkshake though, the most EGREGIOUS CLAIM in food history), and the chex seem to melt in your mouth and are insanely moreish. It's just that the novelty of this edition is a bit non-existent.
We had high hopes, but it's best to stick with regular Chex, or better yet, fruit for breakfast if you want a sweet hit in the morning.
Flavour Rating: 4 out of 5
Worth Trying?: No - get regular Chex instead.
