The Best Aldi-Brand Cereal Is Nostalgic In The Tastiest Way Possible

Aldi shoppers know time stops when you enter the cereal aisle because you have to choose the best possible breakfast for your morning bowl. Shopping in Aldi is one of the best places to find deals and some great dupes that taste just like the originals, including cereals. Whether you're a fan of sweet and simple bowls of cereal, or are down to make your bowl more filling with loaded cereal, there really is nothing like having the right option on deck. When Chowhound tasted and ranked the best Aldi-brand cereals, there was one box worth keeping in the pantry: Millville Honey Grahams.

The cereal beat other brands (the rankings were based on taste, comparison to the original, and texture) namely because it offers a perfectly crispy bite while replicating the nostalgic taste of General Mills' Golden Grahams. The original is loved for its classic honey flavor and crunch, and this dupe's honey flavor comes through without overpowering each mouthful with an overload of sickly sweetness. The Aldi cereal is so good, you might want to incorporate it as part of a dessert topping.

With a bowl of Millville Honey Grahams cereal, it's hard to justify skipping breakfast. The addition of honey in cereals has been a weakness for the nation for a few decades now, but not every cereal brand or dupe gets it right. Other honey-based cereals in the rankings failed to deliver with too-subtle or completely absent taste. Millville's Honey Grahams cereal is flavorful, resembling the shape of Aldi's Cinnamon Toast Crunch dupe while offering a taste in its own league. The Aldi cereal also claims to have no artificial colors, high fructose syrup, or certified synthetic colors, making it appealing for those who prioritize cleaner products. Not only does it taste good, but the cereal is affordable, totaling around $2.49 for a box.

Many cereal-lovers have taken to social media to share their comparisons and appreciation for Aldi's dupe, noting how similar it tastes to the original. Some go as far to say that it's their favorite Aldi cereal. Others even assert that it tastes better than the original, and for a cheaper price (Golden Grahams costs around $3.79 per box). A few note that Honey Grahams comes with a sugary coating that the original doesn't, which may be a slight drawback for those avoiding that extra dose of sweetness. Otherwise, complaints are minimal and spoons are ready.
