RETRO CHOCOLATE CEREALS: National Cereal Ads

Today is National Cereal Day! 

There weren't that many (if any) chocolate cereals when I was a kid, and I doubt my parents (my father was a pediatrician) would have allowed them at the breakfast table. But over the years since my youth, there have been many chocolate cereals on the market. I'm not going to say that Chocolate Cereal is healthy, but since you'll probably add some milk, you'll be getting your calcium. Alas the chocolate in breakfast cereal was pretty artificial, so didn't provide antioxidants. However, chocolate cereal beat  grabbing a candy bar for breakfast, but probably not by much. Nevertheless, since today is National Cereal Day, I thought I'd list some of the Chocolate Cereals that have hit the supermarket shelves over the years. I know there are many available at the market on-line today, so let me know if you have favorites?  Leave a comment.

So for National Cereal Day, here are some Retro Chocolate Cereals! Be sure and scroll down for a Retro Recipe for Cocoa Peanut Logs using Kellogg's Cocoa Krispies!

Also, check out my recipe for Chocolate Granola. There are also some healthy chocolate granolas on the market. Or you can make Chocolate Oatmeal with Chocolate Chips.
