(Update: We reviewed Mocha Crunch Cereal!)
Forget Honey Nut Cheerios: this is the kind of buzz I want on my breakfast table.
I’ve been waiting for a mainstream coffee cereal since I first precociously sipped my grandpa’s Maxwell House at age 9, and now General Mills is making that dream a reality with Mocha Crunch Cereal. Sure, Coffee Cereal exists in its own delicious niche, but ever since I ideated “CappucinOs” for a class project (and permanently answered the question, “what’s wrong with that Dan kid?”), my ideal coffee cereal has been a creamy, milky, and maybe even toffee-y bowl of sweetness.
Hot off the crumbling pastry heels of Chocolate Mocha Pop-Tarts, General Mills is ready to brew a retailiatory strike with a teal box full of cocoa coffee discs. They appear to have the same chip-less Cookie Crisp shape of Thin Mints Cereal, so I hope Mocha Crunch’s pieces have the same delightfully powdered texture, too.
And let’s hope they contain enough real caffeine to make a Girl Scout earn her “Xtreme Tree Climbing” merit badge.
There’s no official word on when we’ll be able to sip this chocolate bean-y breakfast blend (with a side of Cinnamon Toast Crunch to dip into the endmilk, of course), but our thanks go to our pal The Junk Food Aisle for breaking the fresh-brewed news. Now to find the perfect mug to eat this stuff out of.
I’ll be sure to leave room for cream.
i like😍coffee flavor please i want more😉👍🏻😻
They are more chocolatey then anything else. There’s really no coffee flavor. I’m not impressed.
Too bad that it’s a “limited edition” item – I was hoping I could try it, but ONLY at Walmart for now.
Has anyone spotted this cereal yet at their local grocery store? I’ve been looking for weeks since this article was posted, and I have yet to find it at any of my local ACMEs, ShopRites, Walmarts, Targets, Stop & Shops, or Weis Markets.
Can’t wait for this one!
I instantly noticed the resemblance to the Thin Mints cereal. While I did dig the the texture of the G.S. cookies cereal I thought it could have done with less subtlety in the mint department. I hope this one packs a little more oomph to its coffee flavor. All in all though, I think the prospect of a coffee flavored cereal is interesting to say the least. Along with the Thin Mint cereal it’ll be the second new cereal-flavor combination I’ll have tried this year and April’s just rolled around.
hm… and i just went to the us… why couldn’t they release the last month…
Coffee flavored cereal would finally be something new! 🙂
And i wouldn’t need to feel ashamed anymore to put a spoon (or two) of coffee into my cereal bowl from time to time. xD
