We seem to be in the midst of a cerealssance.<\/p>\n
Not only are the permanent fixtures beefing up their flavor varieties, but brands not usually known for cereal keep sneaking their way into the aisle. Hell, at this rate of expansion, they may LITERALLY beef up the aisle with a McDonald\u2019s hamburger flavored cereal soon.<\/p>\n
You cringe, but you\u2019d probably be morbidly curious enough to try a box. Don\u2019t lie.<\/p>\n
Anyway, the point is, new cereals be droppin\u2019.<\/p>\n
After its recent venture into the frozen section, Hostess has partnered with Post to transform two of its most iconic snack cakes into a different form of breakfast treat \u2013 Powdered Donettes and Honey Bun Cereal.<\/p>\n
In an effort to stick to my \u201cchill on the sweets\u201d New Year\u2019s resolution, I decided only to buy the flavor I\u2019d prefer in snack cake form \u2013 Honey Bun.<\/p>\n
Right from the jump, a pleasant and familiar scent hit me that I didn\u2019t necessarily associate with Honey Buns, despite really trying. I did however immediately think of ripping the seal off a carton of fresh vanilla icing, so I wasn\u2019t too disappointed.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
The cereal pieces have an interesting shape completely authentic to the look of Honey Buns, except they\u2019re holier. I\u2019m not just referring to the holes, I also mean \u201cholier\u201d in the religious sense, because HOLY CRAP, this cereal is good!<\/p>\n
I imagine some people might say it tastes a bit like sugar cookies, but I\u2019m gonna throw a flavor combination at you because it\u2019s all I could think about while eating these \u2013 General Mills Oh\u2019s meets Waffle Crisp. (French Toast Crunch also works.)<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
Oh\u2019s are one of my favorite cereals of all time, but I always kinda hated the rough texture. Waffle Crisp was a cereal that laid dormant in my memory until now, because a nostalgia flavor wave, or \u201cflave\u2122\u201d if you will, hit me as soon as I ate a spoonful of Honey Bun cereal. While there isn\u2019t maple, something about the level of sweetness and the texture instantly brought Waffle Crisp right back into my brain.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
The odd shape of this cereal lends itself to an excellent textural experience. They aren\u2019t teeth-shatteringly crispy while dry, but also don\u2019t sog into mush as they settle in the milk.<\/p>\n
Now with all this said, I do still think the flavor is true to the iced goodness of Honey Bun snack cakes, which just makes it all the better.<\/p>\n
In case you are wondering, the cereal leaves behind a \u201cHoney Nut Cheerio-esque\u201d milk, which is a perfect capper to the experience.<\/p>\n
In the end, Honey Bun cereal might be a little<\/em> too sweet, but that\u2019s me nitpicking and trying to find a negative.<\/p>\n I wasn\u2019t excited about the prospect of a powdered donut cereal, but you better believe I\u2019ll be snatching Donettes up soon. I cannot wait until every last Hostess snack cake becomes a cereal. At this point, that seems inevitable. Don\u2019t miss out on these.<\/p>\n Purchased Price:<\/strong> $3.69 We seem to be in the midst of a cerealssance.
