GENERAL MILLS REVIEW AND ~~GIVEAWAY~~



Thanks to General Mills and MyBlogSpark, I got to try a great variety of awesome snacks!!!


I was given an awesome package that included two of each of the following:
1. Nature Valley Oats 'n Dark Chocolate bars
2. Cocoa Puffs Triple Chocolate Treats
3. Bugles-Hot Buffalo flavored

Plus it included a travel mug with Nature Valley on it, and a Bugles T-shirt!!

I personally did not like the bugles. I love plain bugles, but the Buffalo bugles are very hot to the tongue!! My Husband loved them, but he could eat anything spicy.

I usually am not a big fan of Nature Valley bars, but these with the chocolate in them were awesome!! It had just the right amount of chocolate, and the best part is that they are still good for you!!
My favorite out of all the treats though was the Cocoa Puffs treat!! Oh man was that GOOD!!! It tasted alot like a rice krispy treat!! Those are one of my favorite goodies to have!! It was crunchy but not break your teeth crunchy. It had a spectacular amount of chocolate to it!! Yum Yum Yummy!!!


Now I was supposed to give my Husband one package of each, but I cheated and let him try each, and then took everything but the bugles back!!! I cant share when its that good!!!!

Here is a little information about the products I tried from General Mills and MyBlogSpark-


"Cocoa Puffs Treats Triple Chocolate: An indulgent cereal bar that combines the great taste of Cocoa Puffs cereal and chocolate into one decadent treat, Cocoa Puffs Treats Triple Chocolate is perfect for satisfying any sweet tooth.
Bugles Hot Buffalo:
Need something salty with a bit of a kick? Look no further than Bugles Hot Buffalo Crisp Corn Snacks, which blends the taste of hot buffalo sauce with crispy corn Bugles.
Nature Valley Oats ‘N Dark Chocolate Crunchy Granola Bars:
If you want the best of both worlds, give Nature Valley Oats ‘N Dark Chocolate Crunchy Granola Bars a try. These bars mix dark chocolate pieces, oats and crisp rice nuggets for a classic crunch and burst of whole grain goodness, making them a perfect natural snack that's high in fiber and protein, but low in saturated fat."
Now the best part for all of you is that General Mills and MyBlogSpark are offering one lucky reader the same prize pack!!



You will get two of each of the Treats, plus a Travel Mug and T-shirt!!

The main purpose of this giveaway is to tempt the man in your life with a sweet or salty snack!! If any of you have a relationship like I do, your Husband will eat almost anything you give him, and is forced willing to share with you!!!

  1. My hubby would probably prefer the granola bars and my son would like the bugles. I might share the bugles if they're too hot for me, but the granola bar? With chocolate? Hmmm...

  74. If I asked my husband he would say the Nature Valley Oats ‘N Dark Chocolate Crunchy Granola Bars because he's trying to eat more healthy foods. In reality it is really the Cocoa Puffs Treats Triple Chocolate.

    He thinks I don't notice that the grandkids cereal that I bought Friday night is usually half gone by Monday morning.
