COMING SOON: Kellogg’s Chocolate Frosted Flakes Cereal

Chocolate Frosted Flakes Kellogg

This is CHOCOLATE Frosted Flakes, not the Frosted Flakes CHOCOLATE you’ve been seeing on shelves for years with and without marshmallows. Those were gr-r-reat! Just kidding, they were o-o-okay.

So what’s different about these?

According to the company, it tested how different cocoas interacted with the cereal flake and the milk left at the bottom of the bowl. The result ended up being toasted flakes with a rich, roasted cocoa frosting.

Hmm. Did Kellogg’s not put this much effort into creating Frosted Flakes Chocolate?

The cereal will be hitting shelves nationwide at major retailers and grocery stores in November with a suggested retail price between $4.69 and $5.79.
