Nestle Cinnamon Grahams. I remember these when they first appeared in the shops a few years back this was approximately 1984. I first knew these by the name Cinnamon Toast Crunch, and more recently Curiously Cinnamon. His brother, Golden Grahams also appeared at one point, however can't say I notice these in the shops these days.

What are Cinnamon Grahams?

Cinnamon Grahams is a breakfast cereal produced by Nestle. The cereal is made up of small square / rectangle shapes made from wheat and rice which are covered in cinnamon and sugar.

Packaging and Cost:

Cinnamon Grahams come in a standard type cereal box. The cover is colourful with the name curiously cinnamon across the bottom of the box in large white lettering. A picture of a spoon with some cinnamon grahams and milk is also shown. And words which describe the cereal, such as sweet, tangy and also shown. The actual cereal is then contained within a foil bag, this keeps the cereal nice and fresh.

The size of the box is 375g and to own one of these costs you in the region of approximately £2.07 (Current price at Asda) however up until recently the same box was going for £2.50, a tad expensive me thinks as must do Asda as the price has since dropped. At one point when they were £2.50, Asda did offer them 2 boxes for £3 making each box £1.50, now that was a bargain.

Taste:

Obviously you need to like the flavour of cinnamon to enjoy these. Put a spoonful in your mouth and start to chew. You immediately taste a nice and strong cinnamon flavour followed by the sweetness of the sugar. Although the flavour is not too strong for me, I have known people not like them because they are too strong a cinnamon flavour. The cereal is initially very crunchy and eat bite produces a crunchy noise. Once you get to the end of the bowl, as always there is milk left in the bowl, this is now cinnamon milk as the flavour has escaped into the milk. What a lovely drink to end your breakfast time.

Verdict:
I love these, they are a very nice tasting cereal which makes you feel full after a bowl full. Eaten in traditional cereal style in a bowl covered in milk, however I also eat these dry as a snack, the cinnamon flavour is even stronger as the milk hasn't washed some of it off.

TIP : I have even put farley's rusks in a bowl mixed with warm milk then put some of these of top, pure heaven...Try it...

Overall a lovely breakfast cereal, though can seem a little expensive compared to other cereals on the market. For me, worth the extra pennies.

Summary: Excellent cereal, these go great with farley's rusks :)
