Post doesn\u2019t release limited-edition Honey Bunches of Oats flavors very often, so when it does, pay attention!<\/p>\n

Except this new Frosted Bunches variety, sadly, isn\u2019t worth paying much attention to. Really, the most interesting part of the whole cereal is the wintry box with a yeti theme. (Why are yetis having a moment now?)<\/p>\n

I happened to have the bottom half of a box of Honey Bunches of Oats with Almonds, so I was able to make a few comparisons between the new one and the classic.<\/p>\n
With \u201cFrosted Bunches\u201d as the name of this new cereal, I assumed the oat clusters would be different. And yet, I* can\u2019t really taste a difference between the bunches. If they are different, I don\u2019t know what it is.<\/p>\n
(*See what I did there? \u201cyet, I\u201d? \u201cyeti\u201d?)<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
The real difference is actually in the flakes. All of them in the Frosted Bunches variety are lighter in color and sweeter. This cereal would be better called Honey Bunches of Oats Frosted Flakes instead of Frosted Bunches. So, basically, this is a sweeter version of regular Honey Bunches of Oats, and the nutrition facts bear that out.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
And despite an extra dose of \u201cBunches\u201d in this cereal\u2019s name, it seems to have fewer, not more, bunches in the cereal itself.<\/p>\n
Look, Honey Bunches of Oats has long been one of my favorite cereals, so I will gladly finish this box. But it is not significantly different from the regular varieties. I only notice the differences because I\u2019m looking for them. The ingredient lists have mostly the same ingredients, just in a different order.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
The differences are not significant enough for me to make it worth the extra sugar in this Frosted Bunches edition, mainly because the regular version has more textural and flavor contrasts.<\/p>\n
This cereal might be boring, but I hope to see more exciting limited edition offerings from Honey Bunches of Oats in the future. (How have we not yet seen a pumpkin spice variety?!)<\/p>\n
