(UPDATE: Read my full Krispy Kreme Cereal review!)
It’s taken them a long time, but doughnut companies across the world are finally starting to realize something: huh, cereal rings look a lot like doughnuts, don’t they?
Of course, there’s been no shortage of doughnut-themed cereals. From ’80s ancients Dinky Donuts and Powdered Donutz cereals to contemporary classics like Pink Donut Cereal, Hostess Donettes Cereal, and Cap’n Crunch’s Sprinkled Donut Crunch, the dozen-or-so doughnut cereals released to date constitute a well-rounded munch-able microgenre. But with the exception of old-school Dunkin’ Donuts Cereal from ’88, big-name dough-masons never really seized the opportunity to miniaturize their iconic confections.
That is, until recently, when Dunkin’ returned with new (caffeinated!) cereals, Tim Hortons brought Timbits Cereal to Canada, and now Krispy Kreme is completing this veritable NAFTA of doughnut cereals with a Mexico-exclusive cereal based on their iconic Original Glazed rings.
Few fates are crueler cruller than being 2,000 miles from Kellogg’s Krispy Kreme Cereal, but hopefully Kellogg’s brings this glazed goodness stateside soon. For anyone reading this from Mexico, I wish I had more info to share with you about this cereal, but I could only find it on Sam’s Club of Mexico’s website. If you’ve managed to get your powdered sugar-dusted hands on a box of Krispy Kreme Cereal, let me know how it tastes in the comments below.
