But it makes sense as both coffee and cereal (along with about seven other things) have long been part of &#8220;a complete breakfast,&#8221; according to commercials. Why not combine the two?<\/p>\n<p>This isn&#8217;t Dunkin&#8217;s first cereal, but it&#8217;s the first time the brand has cerealized a beverage flavor. You can now try Dunkin&#8217;s famous Mocha Latte and Caramel Macchiato in a bowl instead of a cup. I mean, you can probably use a cup if you want. You do you.<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"display:block; margin-left:auto; margin-right:auto;\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.theimpulsivebuy.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Post-Dunkin-Cereal-Marshmallows.jpeg?resize=600%2C450&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Post Dunkin Cereal Marshmallows\" title=\"Post Dunkin' Cereal Marshmallows.jpeg\" border=\"0\" width=\"600\" height=\"450\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The cereals consist of Cocoa Puffs-style pieces with flavored marshmallows that look like little foam swirled lattes, and feature real Dunkin&#8217; coffee, so you can add an additional, but negligible amount of caffeine to your morning. Sounds good to me.<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"display:block; margin-left:auto; margin-right:auto;\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.theimpulsivebuy.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Post-Dunkin-Mocha-Latte-Cereal-Bowl.jpeg?resize=600%2C600&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Post Dunkin Mocha Latte Cereal Bowl\" title=\"Post Dunkin' Mocha Latte Cereal Bowl.jpeg\" border=\"0\" width=\"600\" height=\"600\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Mocha Latte hit me with a huge waft of coffee smell, which is both pleasant and mildly strange coming from a cereal. As far as taste, the cereal pieces aren&#8217;t that far off from the Cocoa Puffs they resemble. They&#8217;re chocolate heavy, with a generic coffee flavor accompaniment. The marshmallows burst with the titular coffee drink&#8217;s flavor. They taste exactly like sugary coffee foam and syrup.<\/p>\n<p>If I had to narrow down a description, I&#8217;d say this is Count Chocula if you swapped coffee for milk (more on that later). Imagine a cereal called &#8220;Count Coffula&#8221; or &#8220;Caf\u00e9 Chocula&#8221; or &#8220;Count Chock Full o&#8217; Nutsula,&#8221; OR, don&#8217;t imagine anything. You do you.<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"display:block; margin-left:auto; margin-right:auto;\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.theimpulsivebuy.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Post-Dunkin-Caramel-Macchiato-Cereal-Bowl.jpeg?resize=600%2C600&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Post Dunkin Caramel Macchiato Cereal Bowl\" title=\"Post Dunkin' Caramel Macchiato Cereal Bowl.jpeg\" border=\"0\" width=\"600\" height=\"600\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Caramel Macchiato smells like, and forgive me for crossing company lines, a Caramel Frappuccino. Think of any caramel centric cereal you&#8217;ve had, but with a kicker \u2013 you get a nice little coffee flavor infusion.<\/p>\n<p>Imagine one of those gourmet popcorn companies making a &#8220;caramel coffee&#8221; flavor. That&#8217;s the flavor profile I keep coming back to. To use this example again, think of when you get to the bottom of your caramel Frap and its mostly ice, whipped cream, and caramel drizzle. It tastes like that.<\/p>\n<p>I could have gone for even more coffee flavor, but I guess they have to appeal to kids. The cereal piece shapes are a bit uninspired, but the marshmallows are cute, and they&#8217;re the star of the show for me.<\/p>\n<p>As far as the cereal milk flavor, Imagine the drinks the cereal is based on, but swap the coffee to dairy ratio. They each tasted like a coffee drink that is 75% milk or whatever your preferred dairy is.<\/p>\n<p>Oh, and just out of sheer curiosity, I tried this: both cereals with coffee instead of milk.<\/p>\n<p>Look out, we got a wild man here!<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"display:block; margin-left:auto; margin-right:auto;\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.theimpulsivebuy.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Post-Dunkin-Cereal-Mixed.jpeg?resize=600%2C399&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Post Dunkin Cereal Mixed\" title=\"Post Dunkin' Cereal Mixed.jpeg\" border=\"0\" width=\"600\" height=\"399\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Why not? I had some coffee left over, threw in my splash of half and half and mixed equal parts of each cereal in. It was a half and half and half and half. I kinda loved it. The coffee sopped into the cereal pieces and gave it that extra oomph I wanted, and the mocha and caramel flavors pushed through. If you&#8217;re feeling bold, give this a shot, but obviously, use cold coffee.<\/p>\n<p>So yeah, these are ultimately a winner for me. There&#8217;s just enough coffee flavor to get your fix while also not scaring off the kids. I&#8217;m probably just gonna mix the two bags together at this point. I may even isolate a bag of the marshmallows and use them as ingredients in some kind of snack mix. Feel free to leave some suggestions on what I should add.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m hoping this leads to more coffee cereals. You have to imagine Starbucks will put something out if these do well. Hit us with a line of Frap cereals. As for Dunkin&#8217;, I&#8217;m not sure which coffees they can mimic next, but how about a Munchkin Cereal that features ALL the Munchkin flavors in one box?<\/p>\n<p><strong>DISCLOSURE:<\/strong> I received free samples of the product.
