saw them in the shop today.
dd loves wheatabix, and it is still ds's comfort food if ill.
always thought of it as a healthy breakie.the idea of them being chocolate seems wrong....

Where can I get me some of this magical sounding stuff? (YABU)

Do you mean normal Weetabix but chocolate flavoured?

Or the mini ones with chocolate chips? The mini ones are lovely but incredibly sugary

YABU.
It's food, it all has a place in a healthy, balanced diet.

I wouldn't eat it, I don't have a sweet tooth and surely wheetabix is wood shavings but DD likes it, so she can have it.

I balance her diet.

yuk! Weetabix can't be chocolate - it would be vile with the amount of butter I put on my weetabix!

Don't agree.

There is about three chocolate chips in each one and my ds (ASD and beyond fussy) will eat it for which I am grateful. It is either that or Chocolate Chip Cookie Cereal (yuk!) so it is a good compromise for us.

I'd rather have a bowl of Cocopops

YABU - weetabix and chocolate are two of my favourite foods.

One thing my children deplore about me is that I will not let them have chocolate cereals at breakfast.

I have this mad theory that if we start with chocolate then we will crave sugary food types all day... Well I know I do......

They'd like to move in with any kind mummy who will serve them such delights.....

no no no
this is proper wheatabis, but now chocolate, not the mini ones.

so do you think dd would like them?

I don't suppose you noted the %sugar?

Its reckoned you should aim for

TheBolter · 06/07/2010 18:26

Must admit I am really anti chocolate and sugary cereals. I think they're unnecessary as well as unhealthy. Even Cheerios are unhealthy IMO - they're crusted with sugar glaze.

I think sweet cereals are a slippery slope.

Oh fgs, why have I been alerted to this on the day I didn't go to Sainsbos?
