It’s Valentine’s Season, and within the junk meals world, meaning one factor: chocolate and strawberries. Or chocolate or strawberries. Or chocolate-covered strawberries. Okay, in order that’s three issues, I suppose. Or only one, if it’s chocolate-covered strawberries. Both method, Valentine’s Day.
Cinnamon Toast Crunch — no stranger to branching out past its sq. Cinnadust-blasted archetypal kind — is able to have fun the season of romance with its personal lusty providing, Cinnamon Toast Crunch Strawberry. It’s not a bizarre idea, actually, I don’t guess. I imply, folks put strawberries on prime of French toast on a regular basis. Nicely, okay, I suppose that requires you to miss that Cinnamon Toast Crunch is cinnamon toast-based and never French toast. However you get the concept. It’s like making cinnamon toast after which topping it with strawberries. Is {that a} factor? Nicely, it’s now. And in cereal kind!
So, does it work? I actually can’t determine! I imply it. It’s unusual, however I’ve had just a few bowls and might’t determine how I really feel.
The factor is, it’s precisely what it units out to be — and that’s what I’m so on the fence about: will we really want strawberry cinnamon toast? The bottom layer right here could be very identifiably Cinnamon Toast Crunch, however there’s a barely tart strawberry punch as a substitute of that sugary, cinnamony end. But in addition? It’s not strawberry sufficient. One factor CTC isn’t shy about, because the basketball followers say, is “going onerous within the paint.” Cinnamon Toast Crunch and all of its sugar cookie, gingerbread, and waffle iterations are boldly seasoned, not for the faint of coronary heart.
And so, actually, it looks like in the event that they needed to decide to this strawberry factor, they need to have actually gone heavy with the strawberry seasoning shaker. I’d go one step additional and counsel that they’d have been simply as properly served to restrict the cinnamon part solely. Simply go Strawberry Toast Crunch. (Hy-Vee does [or did?] a “blueberry squares” cereal that was simply that, however, you recognize, with a crazy-strong blueberry flavoring, and it’s [or was?] a strong 9 out of 10. That’s what this might have been.)
I’m not mad about this cereal, however I’m additionally not in love with it. When Cupid lastly shoots it together with his arrow, and it goes to Cereal Heaven, I gained’t mourn it.
