<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Cinnamon Toast Crunch is one of the most beloved cereals, and many of its limited edition seasonal flavors, such as Apple Pie<\/a> and Sugar Cookie<\/a>, have been home runs.<\/p>\n For this year\u2019s winter season, we get another seasonal flavor: Mexican Style Hot Chocolate. Since we\u2019ve already had Churros<\/a>, Dulce de Leche<\/a>, and Tres Leches<\/a>, it only makes sense that we would get another Mexican-adjacent flavor. Though this cereal is evidently for wintertime, it\u2019s out early enough that you could include it for your Day of the Dead celebrations if you wanted.<\/p>\n Mexican hot chocolate typically has cinnamon, and sometimes it has \u201chot\u201d spices like cayenne pepper. Thankfully, this cereal does not have hot spices (even though we have seen that before!).<\/p>\n I expected that the chocolate flavoring would be subtle. But the cereal pieces are generously dusted with a cocoa-y powder, and there\u2019s no mistaking that this is a chocolate cereal.<\/p>\n With that said, the chocolate flavor is not aggressive. Chocolate fiends might wish for more, and it doesn\u2019t really impart much cocoa flavor to the milk. But if you want something super chocolatey, you can just pick a different chocolate cereal instead.<\/p>\n Obviously, this cereal prominently features cinnamon. Is it different than regular cinnamon in Cinnamon Toast Crunch? I don\u2019t actually know, but it seems that way to me. The combination of cocoa and cinnamon gives the cereal a robust flavor. While this is a sugary cereal with anthropomorphic cartoon cereal pieces on the front, the cereal seems slightly more mature than the ordinary version.<\/p>\n Mexican Style Hot Chocolate Cinnamon Toast Crunch is a delightful addition to the canon of CTC flavors, and I will definitely buy it again this season.<\/p>\n Purchased Price:<\/strong> $4.93 Cinnamon Toast Crunch is one of the most beloved cereals, and many of its limited edition seasonal flavors, such as Apple Pie and Sugar Cookie, have been home runs.
