For round 1g, I decided to pick up another chocolatey cereal that caught my eye: the PC Double Chocolate Crunch (hereafter referred to as PCDCC). Doesn't the box just look so tasty? And going against it is a box of Diamond Shreddies. I think the guys at the Shreddies factory messed up though, since my box clearly contained Shreddies in both the diamond and square varieties. (The diamond ones were better, of course). :)

I have to say, the box of PCDCC is the best chocolate-cereal I've had. It's just a smidge too sweet, but only a smidge. Mixing chocolate and granola the way they've done is pretty awesome, particularly when tossed in a bowl of milk. The annoying thing about this cereal was that it did leave behind annoying little crumbs in the milk, but there weren't a lot of those. The cereal is also a little on the heavy side, but again, not too bad.
The Shreddies are... well, Shreddies. They have a more or less neutral cereal taste. Nothing spectacular on that front. They are nicely self-contained chunks of cereal so not many crumbs get left behind. They also don't get soggy, so they are generally well-behaved in milk. On the whole it's a pretty decent cereal, but when comparing it to the PCDCC box, it falls behind in the taste department.
Something else to consider when going for a chocolate cereal is the actual sugar content. PCDCC has 9g of fat and 13g of sugar per 55g serving, which is a little high but not as bad as.. say, Captain Crunch. I tend to burn a lot of sugar so I don't consider this too bad, but YMMV. For comparison, the Shreddies have 1g of fat and 8g of sugar per 50g serving, significantly lower.
Anyhow, this round goes to PCDCC, but props to Shreddies for being a pretty good contender.
