This is my most favorite cereal ever. I love it. The unfortunate thing is that it's not really being sold in my area, so Amazon is my saviour. It's a lot of cereal, but I'm pretty confident that I'll eat it all :)

Count Chocula WAS my favorite cereal, but they changed the best thing about the cereal-- the chocolate marshmallows! I was very upset that I ordered such a large number of boxes, expecting the old cereal I had always loved. Without the chocolate marshmallows I may as well just buy Chocolate Lucky Charms or some generic cereal that's out year-round. I don't even care to finish the boxes.

I don't know why they don't have this year-round locally, but I always get excited for it around Halloween.

Got this for my husband, it is his favorite! It came late, was stale and a year past it's expiration date. Highly unsatisfied!!

You can't go wrong when reliving childhood memories :D I thought it would be too many boxes at first but I'm already half way through them and it's been a little less than a month since I received them. Then again, I've also had some help chowing them down from my younger brothers.

If you actually searched for this cereal, why are you reading reviews? This stuff is delicious and it's a crime that they only sell it in stores during halloween. I ordered the 12 box package and finished it in like a month.

A friend of mine got me waxing nostalgic about Count Chocula, Franken Berry, and Boo Berry when he was telling me about a CD featuring all three that seemed to generate alot of buzz, and an internet site that had old radio broadcasts for horror movies and things relating to Halloween, among them was a 70's skit starring the Monster Cereal trio called "Disco Monster Mania", needless to say I cracked up at how hilariously bad it was, and when he showed me a box of Franken Berry that he bought from the local supermarket he worked at, it instantly made me want to get any of the three monster cereals.

I had to do a minor bit of searching, as I was very disappointed to find out that the supermarket I work for didn't have any of the three Monster Cereals in stock at all. So I went across the way to my friend's workplace, and managed to find Count Chocula, needless to say, I saw it was 2 for 4 bucks, I jumped at it, grabbed myself 4 boxes, there were 2 left afterward. Anyway, paid the 8 bucks, got home, and poured myself a bowl.

All I can say is wow, I had literally not had this cereal in forever, and after finally finding it at that local supermarket around here, and finding out that I can also order this stuff on-line, I knew I had hit the jackpot. This stuff still tastes fantastic, turns the milk all chocolatey, and to me, it puts Cocoa Puffs to shame in terms of taste and texture, plus, it has marshmallows. What is not to love? Seriously, this stuff totally hits a home run when it comes to great cereals. And I am glad to know that they are still being produced, even if it's just a seasonal item, it still warms my heart any time I see this stuff, I always think of that classic line "I vant to eat your cereal!" delivered in that Bella Lugosi-esque voice.

This stuff is a winner folks, trust me on this. It deserves five stars because it's just that damn good!

I received the cereal very quickly and was very happy until my husband (also a Count Chocula lover) opened one of the boxes and accused me of eating all of the marshmallows! Now, I'm not above eating all of the marshmallows, but this time it wasn't me. Apparently, one of the boxes out of 12 didn't make it over to the marshmallow machine and was packaged without them. :( All in all though, we're very happy. Carbs are pretty low too (23g per serving) which is great for a sweetened cereal.

The box art is terrible and the formula/recipe changed at some point. Still good sugary cereal but some poor choices were made at some point. If it's not broken....Maybe they could release it with a different vintage box art each year? They'd sell twice as much.

I have been eating this cereal regularly since I was 12 yrs old - and back then my mom would only let me eat it as an evening snack, not for breakfast! Today as a 40 yr old, I am lucky to have couple of stores in my area (Upper Montgomery County) that sell it, for just under $2/box. And sometimes one store has a deal where you buy 4, get $4 off and you can use additonal Gen Mills coupons too. Needless to say, I'm not embarrassed to go up to the checkout with 12 boxes, especially when I'm sometimes only paying 50-75 cents/box!! IMHO, eating things like this, which have good nutritional value thanks to additives, is better than completely skipping breakfast or just chugging coffee. And my whole breakfast (cereal, milk & OJ)) only costs $1-1.50.
