Two German Cereals that are Badass

Every morning, like many people, I need to start my day with a hearty bowl of vitamin fortified processed grain, so since I've been here in Germany, I've been exposed to some new types of cereal that are extremely delicious, and yet are not available in America. This post is half educational, half gloating, because I get to eat these as often as I want.

1.Kellogg's Chocho Toppas

Yes, Kellogg's, a brand that all of us are familiar with. This sort of cereal is also available in a somewhat different form. If you look closely, you'll see that these are essentially Mini-wheats, but wait! Why are they brown?! That's because they're chocolate flavored, yes Chocolate. So that means while you are chowing down on your plain frosted mini-wheats (which are also available here) I am basking in whole grain shredded wheat chocolatey goodness.















2. Nestle Chokella

Yes, around these parts Nestle is a major company. Beyond making it's candy (although all nestle candy bars here go under different names) they also manufacture cereal products. Now this form of cereal may also look familiar to you, in fact, strikingly similar to french toast crunch, being that the cereal pieces are shaped like tiny slices of bread. The difference here is that instead of being french toast style, they are covered with a nutella like substance, and thus I am more apt to call them a "Nutella Toast Crunch" type cereal. If anyone doesn't know what nutella is, it is a chocolate hazelnut spread meant for toast, and it's awesome.
