Do you think Cinnamon Toast Crunch is a little too SQUARE? What if you could take all its delicious flavor and give it a new TWIST? Don’t you hate it when bloggers use CAPS and WORD PLAY to try and be CUTE?
Then there’s a new cereal just for you!
General Mills Cinnamon Toast Crunch Churros
Why eat TOAST when you could eat CHURROS?
That’s the question many of us are asking ourselves with the release of new General Mills Cinnamon Toast Churros. My cinnamon sugar rankings go a little something like this:
- Churros
- Cinnamon Toast Crunch
- Snickerdoodles
And while I hold out hope for Snickerdoodle Toast Crunch eventually, two out of three ain’t bad.
There’s no question this cereal is going to taste good; it’s presumably the same Cinnamon Toast Crunch seasoning sprinkled onto a new shape. The question is whether these big, hearty churro-looking chunks of crispy wheat & rice cereal are a better vessel than the squared toast-looking slices in the original.
I’m guessing the churros tickle our naughty bits better than shredded wheat, as last year’s Cinnamon Toast Crunch Blasted Shreds were discontinued the same year they were introduced.
The churros are much larger than your average cereal, with most tubes sporting an opening on each end to function as mini Cinnamon Toast Crunch milk straws.
You’ll immediately notice the churros are much crunchier than the original Cinnamon Toast Crunch. The pieces have a sturdy but airy crispiness that is surprisingly reminiscent of the outer edges of a fried churro. The cereal is studded with tons of cinnamon sugar, though heftier pieces means you taste a little more wheat this time around.
I think the final taste sports a little more cinnamon with a less sugary finish, but it’s an undeniably delicious cereal that feels like the twin hermano of Cinnamon Toast Crunch.
While the cereal is more porous, Cinnamon Toast Crunch Churros hold their huge crunch for longer than you would expect. But once you let enough milk settle in, the cinnamon sugar fades a great deal and you’re left with more wheat and rice than you usually have. The mushier pieces become indistinguishable from the original squares in the way of texture.
It is still a fantastic cereal; I’m just pointing out the differences because that is my job (I do not get paid for this, and nobody is forcing me to do it).
Is it cool to eat churros for breakfast – churros that are flavored with Cinnamon Toast Crunch? Hell yeah it is! But Cinnamon Toast Crunch Churros make for a better dry snack than they do a wet cereal.
Eat them like Cinnamon Toast Cheez Its.
Burning Questions:
- Ew, you would eat cinnamon sugar Cheez Its? Yeah!
- What about a cheesy churro?Try me.
- Is there anything you won’t eat? Cinnamon Toast Poop.
