Good things come in huge packages....

Actually, boxes - but who cares when Mr Postie knocks at the door!

I was thinking when I saw the rather large box that I definitely hadn't ordered anything lately. I mean, Christmas was ages ago and everything on that list had been ticked off on arrival. But there it was. Duh! Brain like a sieve moment. How could I forget that I had said to the nice chap at Kellogg's that I would love to try his new cereal and yippee for me, it had arrived. No trying to hide this box in the dining room, it's completely legit!

There are some perks to having a food blog, and I know that this one was also enjoyed by a number of other UK food bloggers.
So, what was I trying? If it has the name Kellogg's on the box, you just know it's going to be cereals of some kind, and this kind was muesli. Baked muesli to be precise.



I'm not a muesli fan, or at least I wasn't. I don't care for soft, powdery muesli mushed in milk. This one was different, it was baked. That meant crispy, crunchy muesli that remained.... crispy and crunchy in the milk! There's 4 flavours to choose from and for me, the cherry and raspberry one was tops.

I was a little disappointed in the packaging - dull colouring and slightly old fashioned, and the bit about them being baked could have been more prominent. The boxes don't stand out nearly enough on the supermarket shelf, which is a shame because they really are very tasty.



I made some muesli bars from the almond pecan & raisin muesli. Add 4oz of chocolate to about 10oz of the cereal, put in a lined loaf tin and refrigerate until set. Rather crumbly, but delicious all the same.

4 Flavours to try:
Nature's Pleasure Almond Pecan & Cashews
Nature's Pleasure Almonds Pecan & Raisins
Nature's Pleasure Cherry & Raspberry
Nature's Pleasure Apple & Blackcurrant

Another day. Another box. A huge box. Kellogg's again!!
C H O C O L A T E Y! (How did they know I liked chocolate?!!)



The product this time - Rice Krispies Squares Totally Chocolatey.



They are 'totally' delicious, crisp and chewy. Not something I would normally buy, as I tend to make these kind of treats myself. And yes, they really are 'chocolatey' through and through.
In the box I also found a chocolate scented candle - to set the mood - and a table-top chocolate fountain, complete with marshmallows! The accompanying letter was edible, printed on rice paper - now that's clever marketing.



Thank you Gareth and all at Kellogg's. Watch this space - that chocolate fountain will be on the menu sometime in the future!
