\"General<\/p>\n

What is Dunkaroos Cereal?<\/h3>\n

Remember Dunkaroos<\/a> – the 90s-era Lunchables, Dessert Edition? Yeah, yeah, they\u2019re back<\/a> – we know. And they\u2019re cookie dough<\/a>. Now they\u2019re cereal – for those who weren\u2019t already eating them for breakfast.<\/p>\n

Dunkaroos cereal is a slight twist on Cookie Crisp cereal – the same form factor and around the same size – which makes sense since they\u2019re both made by General Mills.<\/p>\n

\"General<\/p>\n

How is it?<\/h3>\n

The aroma in the bag was pure vanilla. Strong. They looked similar to the Birthday Cake Cookie Crisp<\/a> limited edition cereal, but sprinklier. The colors of the Dunkaroos sprinkles were more intense and the pieces were absolutely doused in them. We were headed in the right direction!<\/p>\n

\"General<\/p>\n

I nibbled it dry – my favorite way. The biggest flavor was FROSTING! It captured that deeply sugary vanilla-with-a-hint-of-cream-cheese Dunkaroos frosting. I didn\u2019t get any shortbread cookie flavor, which was disappointing, but I got over it. A sprinklific frosting cereal is a win – I won\u2019t split hairs.<\/p>\n

\"General<\/p>\n

The flavor was maintained and the cereal physically held up well in milk, which I appreciated. I can\u2019t abide breakfast foods that go bland and fall apart before making it to my mouth. I can barely function in the mornings and one of us has to hold it together. It\u2019s gotta be you, cereal. Dunkaroos also scored well on the post-game milk analysis. It was a festive confetti-bomb in my bowl, and the milk had a tinge of light blue.<\/p>\n

\"General<\/p>\n

Anything else you need to know?<\/h3>\n

Kids can get a pop culture history lesson on the back of the box! Adults can feel like a history lesson! Yeah, we used disposable cameras in 1992. We had patience. It took weeks, or months, to use all that film and get it developed. By then, you had no memory of taking the photos at the top of the roll. The 90s slang quiz is depressing if you, like me, didn\u2019t realize these phrases had gone out of fashion. There are few situations in life that \u201call that and a bag of chips\u201d won\u2019t work in.<\/p>\n

\"General<\/p>\n

Conclusion:<\/h3>\n

If you were in the Dunkaroos game for the shortbread, you might not like this cereal. But who was in it for the shortbread?? This cereal was all frosting and sprinkles – it cut to the chase. If you love\/loved Dunkaroos, give it a try. Make the youngsters learn about rewinding video tapes – it\u2019s a metaphor for common decency.<\/p>\n
