Cereal bars have become trendy in the last several years, though they do seem to have fallen out of favor more recently. A few months ago, I stopped by Morgantown's rendition of a cereal bar: "Day & Night Exotic Cereal Bar." It seems like they're currently closed, at least temporarily. But, I want to share a little bit about it - because I do think it's neat.
Let's take a step back to talk about what a cereal bar is - tons of different, unique, fun kinds of cereal, usually different kinds of milk and even the option to make the cereal into a cereal or coffee drink. These could be hard-to-find cereals, or you can mix and match cereals. It's a novelty, really, but that's what makes it a fun experience.
Day & Night is located on High Street and seemed to be a bit inconsistent with its hours. Once I finally caught them open, I walked inside to find not another soul there. I looked around for a while to take in all the options. They offer both bowls and shakes, so I kept that in mind as I perused the cereal options.
There was Reese's Puffs - always good - but theen others like Hershey's Kisses, Elf on the Shelf, Sugar Cookie Toast Crunch, and Cinna-Graham Toast Crunch. French toast crunch used to be one of my favorites.
Some maybe looked less appetizing - like Nickelodeon Slime. Though, as a kid, I'm sure I would have loved it. Plus, there were some vintage boxes that I think were just for display. Pretty neat looking, though.
Lucky Charms Honey Clovers caught my eye because Lucky Charms are great - at least the marshmallows. The bland cereal part is less exciting, but if they are honey-flavored, now we're talking.
I went for the Liquid Gold shake, which had peanut butter crunch, honey clover lucky charms and cookie butter. It was a bit messy and sticky, but that's to be expected when dealing with sugar on sugar on sugar.
It was a sugar bomb, for sure. A once-in-a-while treat that is a bit whimsical. One thing to note, much like cereal itself, it does get soggy. And when that happens, it's just no good.
