Questions about Malt-O-Meal chocolate cereal
How do you eat Malt-O-Meal chocolate cereal?
Pour it into a bowl and add cold milk; it can also be eaten dry as a crunchy snack. Add the milk just before eating if you want it to stay crisp.
Can you eat Malt-O-Meal chocolate cereal with yoghurt?
Yes. Spoon it over thick plain yoghurt, or mix it with yoghurt and sliced banana for a more filling breakfast; add the cereal at the end to preserve its crunch.
How can you use Malt-O-Meal chocolate cereal in baking?
Crush it and use it as a crunchy topping for muffins or traybakes, or fold it into chocolate biscuit bars with melted chocolate. Add it near the end so it does not soften too much.
How should you store Malt-O-Meal chocolate cereal after opening?
Keep it in a tightly closed bag or an airtight container in a cool, dry cupboard. Seal it promptly after serving to protect the cereal from moisture and staleness.
Is Malt-O-Meal chocolate cereal different from Malt-O-Meal original cereal?
The chocolate cereal has 11 g of protein per 100 g, compared with 11.8 g in the original. The original has slightly more energy, at 365 kcal per 100 g versus 363 kcal.
Does Malt-O-Meal chocolate cereal contain much iron?
It is high in iron: a 35 g serving provides 15 mg. The amount is notable, but the cereal is still best treated as one part of a varied breakfast.
Is Malt-O-Meal chocolate cereal suitable for babies and young children?
Its crunchy pieces can be difficult for young children to chew safely, so supervise them and avoid serving it dry to a child who is not ready for crunchy foods. Soaking it in milk softens it, but does not remove the need for supervision.
Can you use Malt-O-Meal chocolate cereal instead of cocoa cereal in a recipe?
Yes, crushed Malt-O-Meal chocolate cereal can add chocolate flavour and crunch to a crumble topping or biscuit base. It is sweetened and already contains cereal, so it will not behave like plain cocoa powder.
