Despite their old popularity, I have never tried eating Cheerios cereal. But hunger is a powerful motive. That’s why when I was standing in a long line at Wal-Mart recently, I succumbed to my growling stomach and bought a bag of snacks. Even if I didn’t, my grandkids love Cheerios cereal, so I wouldn’t mind buying them. Read this Cheerios Snack Mix Cheddar Flavor Review and try everything about this food product, and if it tastes good!
Price and Availability
If memory serves me, I paid $1.50 for an 8 ounce bag of Cheerios Snack Mix Cheddar Flavor at Wal-Mart. I said Sam’s Club also carries this food item.
Product Description
The first thing I noticed about the bag of Cheerios Snack Mix Cheddar Flavor is that colorful and bold its black “Cheerios” are similar to the design on the cereal box. The front of the bag also shouts “Good Source WHOLE GRAIN- Baked, not fried,” as well as “60% Off more fat than a regular potato.” That sounded healthy to me.
Inside the bag of Cheerios Snack Mix Cheddar Flavor are 6 different items: Multigrain Cheerios cereal, Corn Chex cereal, Cheese crackers, crackers, Corn Chex Cereal and Twist pretzels. Do I not like to eat Chex Cereal or not? But I like Chex Mix. With 3 types of Chex Cereal in it, I put this snack mix together to taste the whole lot of Chex Mix.

Taste Test and conclusion
I would be right. If you want to eat Chex Mix, then like Cheerios Snack Mix Cheddar Flavor. Mix these flavors to make the same seasoning, but with the added flavor of cheese. Although they are seasoned in this food product, I still don’t like Cheerios.
Also, I find it rather odd that General Mills makes both Cheerios and Chex Cereal. I don’t understand why they basically mix two snacks together and turn them into a different product.
Overall, Cheerios Snack Mix Cheddar Flavor is a healthy snack that tastes good. But, again, I’ll buy a bag of Chex Mix instead.
