Frances says
I want one! Great pic.

Debbie says
Ewww! My son would eat these! Not me I like the plain rice crispie ones!
WendyWings says
That looks disgusting, I doubt my four year old would eat it she is very fussy lol.
Ocean Lady says
If my kids got a hold of that they would be bouncing from wall to wall and ceiling to ceiling.
Amy says
On my way to posting my WW. LOL about the cereal bars. I’m craving junk right now so that with some chocolate sounds about right! 😉
Ma says
I see them in the Market, but I won’t buy them for the grandkids. I buy them the fruit roll ups.
I posted another picture on my WW so all of you can see who it really is. lol
YellowRose says
Cute chubby little fingers!! But that cereal bar looks horrible…so sweet looking it makes my teeth hurt!
Happy Wednesday!
Dana says
It’s amazing to me how, when I was a child, that sugar/cereal stuff was “to die for”! I mea… I couldn’t get enough of it! Now, the very thought of putting that stuff in my mouth makes me gag.

Looks like sticky fruit loops to me! Amazing my five children grew up without all these things and survived. Though they remind me how deprived they were all the time.
my ww is finally up!
ribbiticus says
boy, the things they come up with, huh? gives new meaning to the word sugar-high. my ww’s up! 😉
Mom Nancy says
I’ve seen this in the store and thought, “You’ve got to be kidding me!”
My WW is up.
Michelle says
You gotta love the convience of cereal bars. All three of my kids eat them and love it. My WW is up!
Lori says
YUCK!! I cannot stand these things. In our home they are considered treats. In my son’s preschool last year the kids were bringing them on “healthy snack” days — what a joke!!
Stacey says
Yes, they have just about any cereal in bar form now. I made the mistake of buying them for my kids (the fruit loops kind and the cocoa puffs kind) and they taste pretty awful.
My WW is up.
Jess says
Um, I’d like sugar for breakfast, please? With a side of sugar, too. Ugh! As if kids don’t have enough natural energy??
Rebecca says
Oh, yuck. I saw a recipe once for those, and it involved a can of Eagle Brand Milk. And marshmallows. Sweet, much? You know, I often call graham crackers “breakfast” – smash them up in some yogurt, and they’re quite tasty.
PowersTwinB~Becci says
ok, I wouldnt call that “breakfast”…but I bet my grown kids would try them! Of course the oldest would have to keep them hidden from my 1 1/2 & 5 yr old grandsons! lol Thanks for visiting my blog today
killired says
well i will speak from experience.. i love cereal and i usually buy new stuff to try it out… froot loops is an awesome cereal but these cereal bars are horrible!!!!!!! i’d much rather have a bowl of them with milk! we’ve tried a few of the other cereal bars and they’re all yucky!
suzy says
So the white part is MILK?!? That is freaky-teaky.
PixiePincessMom says
My MIL has those at her house for the kids to enjoy, but my kids don’t care for them. If they want fruit loops; the want them in a bowl.
Thanks for stopping by my WW. I hope you have an awesome day! 🙂
Elizabeth says
My kids LOVE the Cocoa Puffs cereal bars. Once in a while I do let the boys have them. If you look at the grams of sugar in a Quaker Chewy Granola bar, it’s about the same.
Waaay back when I was in college I worked in the school kitchen for work study. The “chef” in charge of desserts would take whatever breakfast cereal was left over and make it into “Treats”. So we would have Captain Crunch Treats, Froot Loop Treats, Frosted FLake Treats, it was different every day.
Melli says
Hey, back when I used to babysit … many years ago… I had one mom who sent graham crackers and milk for her child for breakfast and told me that was the same as giving him a bowl of cereal! I guess a froot loop bar works as well! (it drove me nuts because then MY kids wondered why I wouldn’t let THEM have cookies and milk for breakfast!) LOL! But personally… I’m a BIG fan of the froot loop! ( with milk! )
Mom2fur says
Okay, what it looks like to me is a version of Rice Krispies Treats (with Froot Loops). I actually like Froot Loops, but I think they’d be waaaayyyy too sweet as a “Treat.” It looks a lot more like a snack than a breakfast substitute. Never mind that it might offer a little bit of calcium. I cringe to think of the saturated fat in something like that. (They use nasty oils in some of these ‘bars’ to extend their shelf life.)
Lazy Daisy says
Awww….but those are cute little fingers. Yes, See Suzy Spin is my daughter….they grow up quickly (trust me on that one!)
Chaotic Mom says
My boys would eat this in a heartbeat, but someone else would have to give it to them, too. 😉
Tennessee Mom says
its say on the bottom of the healthy list that for sure, but it does look good to me:)
susan says
hmmm yummy!!! hehehe thank goodness you didnt buy it for your son hehehe but still it looks yummy to me hahaha *i’m bad*
Happy WW. mine is posted.
mar says
It is colorful! and very sweet…because of all the sugar, lol. I understand why kids would enjoy these bars. But it doesn’t have to be every.day.
eph2810 says
Well, I am not so much for cereal anyway – really I am not.
Though I do eat cranola bars. I have seen the ceral bars in the store though and some of them look pretty good. Not sure how much nutrition is in them :smile:.
Great WW pic.
Janice says
Those cute little fingers are not my son’s. My friend’s son was eating this when we were at their place and I was just in awe of it – it looks just awful! So I had to take a picture to prove it was real.
Apparently my friend made the error of telling her son he could pick out one treat at the grocery store and that is what he came up with. Gross.
Disclaimer: I am sure that Fruit Loop Cereal and Milk Bars contain some calcium (as they boast) and that some people may enjoy them. I have not tasted them (nor do I plan on it) so I am not speaking from experience. I just thought they looked gross and, more importantly, very funny.
