Cereal Without the Milk Part: Cookie Crisp

I've decided to start a new, and hopefully regular, feature on this blog all about cereals.  More specifically all about eating cereals without the milk.  There are fewer snacks in this world better than a dry bowl of cereal in the middle of a long work day.
For our first entry we're going to look at a cereal that is based off of an already great mid day snack, Cookie Crisp.  The idea behind Cookie Crisp is that you're eating a bowl of little bite sized chocolate chip cookies (with milk), however these little round disks can hardly be called regular chocolate chip cookies.  They are most certainly closer to a cereal than any chocolate chip cookie I've ever tasted.  That's not to say they're bad in fact they're pretty good without milk.  The only real disappointment has to be the chocolate chips.  I decided to check them out for chocolate authenticity and I was shocked to find out that they're not chocolate at all.  Instead they're just little crunchy brown blobs.  Worst of all these brown blobs don't even really taste like chocolate at all.  I would think that putting real chocolate chips on these would only improve the taste, with or without milk.  So why did they cheap out in this respect?
