Cinnamon Toast Crunch is getting some friendly competition! The beloved breakfast food, which is consistently crowned one of the best-selling cereals on the market, will now be joined by Cinnamon Toast Crunch Churro, a new flavor, and Chocolate Toast Crunch, a returning variety.
The news was confirmed by General Mills, the makers of all Toast Crunch varieties, on Monday, December 17, the same day both cereals are expected to hit shelves. “Sound the alarm! It’s time to try our NEW cereals: Cinnamon Toast Crunch Churros, Fruity Lucky Charms and Chocolate Cinnamon Toast Crunch!” the company wrote in a tweet.
According to Delish, the bite-size churros found in Cinnamon Toast Crunch Churro are sprinkled with real cinnamon “to deliver a sweet cinnamon flavor.” General Mills also notes that consumers “can count on each bite staying crunchy in milk,” allaying the fears of soggy cereal haters everywhere.
And even though Chocolate Toast Crunch isn’t entirely new (it was removed from the market in 2016) fans are still excited to dive into a bowl of the cocoa and cinnamon-infused cereal, which General Mills revealed is the most requested option in the Cinnamon Toast Crunch family.
In fact, when the cereal was first removed from shelves about two years ago, devoted fans created a Change.org petition calling for its return. “Chocolate Toast Crunch is the best cereal I have ever had,” wrote one of the dozens of signatories. Added another: “I’m signing because this was the best cereal ever!!”
Fruity Lucky Charms, on the other hand, are a version of Lucky Charms that feature marshmallow pieces and pink, fruity cereal bits. This one is slated to be available in select stores starting in December and released widely in early 2019.
Not surprisingly, many Twitter users are eager to get their hands on at least some of the three cereals. “Those fruity lucky charms look so no. But the churro Cinnamon Toast Crunch OMGGGGG,” wrote one. Added another: “Yum!! Can’t wait to try these.”
