-closed- General Mills´ Monster Cereals: MyBlogSpark Review and Giveaway

It´s time to scare up vintage breakfast-time fun this fall! The same Count Chocula®, Boo Berry® and Franken Berry® cereals you loved growing up are back for a limited time and are a spook-tacular way to start your day.
For more than 40 years, General Mills´ Monster Cereals have provided spoonfuls of spooky traditions and created Halloween memories all over the country. From September 26-October 31, head to your local Target® checkout aisle to check out the new look and pick up some to fill your favorite breakfast cauldron this year!

Count Chocula®, Boo Berry® and Franken Berry® cereal combine chocolate, blueberry and strawberry flavored cereal with colorful marshmallow shapes that kids and adults enjoy. Each serving of the playful, monster-themed cereal is low in fat with no cholesterol or saturated fat, providing a good source of calcium, whole grain and nine other essential vitamins and minerals.

Be sure to also check out http://www.grocerysavvy.com/, where you can view the fun "Let´s Go Disco" video and download a desktop background of your favorite Monsters character.


We received a Monster Cereals prize pack which includes one box each of Count Chocula®, Boo Berry® and Franken Berry® cereal, a special trick-or-treat tote bag and a $10 Target® gift card to purchase Halloween goodies or more cereal. Of course the kids were excited for the fun cereal! Sure I let them eat it, I was never as lucky getting these as a kid. I liked the Boo Berry blue one best, seemed to have the most flavor. The bag is a great little sturdy bag and will probably be used as a tote bag.



One "Mommy? I'm Hungry!" reader will win a Monster Cereals prize pack also!
