About NATURALLY FLAVORED FROSTED CORN PUFFS, COCOA
Cocoa Puffs relies on whole grain corn, sugar, corn meal, corn syrup, alkalized cocoa, and fructose to build its chocolate flavor. Refiner's syrup and caramel color add further sweetness and color. Carbs are very high, fiber is low, and protein negligible. The cocoa is processed with alkali, the same technique used in dark chocolate production to reduce bitterness. That's where the similarity to artisan chocolate ends. Multiple sweeteners across the ingredient list add up to a sugar-dominant profile dressed in a whole grain wrapper.
