About SWEETENED RICE CEREAL
Cocoa Pebbles from Post is one of the classic chocolate-flavored rice cereals aimed squarely at kids, built on a foundation of rice, sugar, and hydrogenated vegetable oils with cocoa processed with alkali for that familiar dark sweetness. It pours on the sugar early and the cocoa flavor is more reminiscent of chocolate milk than real cocoa, making it a high-sugar breakfast treat rather than a nutritious morning choice. A packet of added vitamins and minerals provides some nutritional cover, though the ingredient list tells the real story.
