"Healthiest" brand of choco hoops cereal. Any ideas?

Just that really!
My DS has been asking to change his breakfast cereal from the plain Cheerios to choco hoops. I'm worried about the sugar content and don't like the idea of him having something so sugary for breakfast. I prefer him to have something wholesome and nutricious but have finally relented and agreed that he can have choco hoops.
Looking for recommendations for the "healthier" brands? Well, I mean as healthy as they CAN be. Thanks.

We had been having the honey loops from Morrisons, by chance I looked at the chocolate ones and they had less sugar and more fibre. Tiny amounts but still.

Id look at what he can have with them to add nutritional value - fruit and a yoghurt here, usually.

Wheetos- wholegrain & added vitamins including b12. I've done this exact same exercise 😆

There is very little difference in sugar content between cheerios and wheetos.
Per 30g serving cheerios have 5.3g of sugar, wheetos have 5.7g

You have have something less sugary in the bowl, with the chocolate cereal sprinkled on top. I used to do that.

Aldi choco hoops have less fat, sugar and salt than cheerios.

The cheaper they are the less sugar in my experience. Try Lidl or Aldi.
Chocolate cereal is very often lower in sugar than the honey equivalent.
