I know Santa’s going to want a bowl of Cinnamon Star Crunch and milk left out for him on Christmas Eve, so I might as well taste test this combo, first. I can pretty much close my eyes and pretend these Cinnamon Stars are just malformed Cheerios from the Island of Misfit Breakfasts. In fact, the cinnamon stickiness that coats Cinnamon Star Crunch is a lot like the almond extract glaze on Honey Nut Cheerios. It has a bit of a nutty finish, too-not the “roasting over an open fire” kind, but more like the oily nuttiness you’d find in Honey Nut Cheerios. Like a cinnamon Barry White song, Cinnamon Star Crunch’s flavor is deep, cozy, and relaxing. Instead of delivering a powdery saccharine sucker punch straight to the “sweet” section of your taste buds, Cinnamon Star Crunch provides a soothingly warm cinnamon caress with dark, caramelized nuances.

It’s that it doesn’t appear deserving of the “Toast Crunch” name at all. My biggest gripe with Cinnamon Star Crunch isn’t that it’s not Sugar Cookie Crunch. So let’s carve into this box like it’s a roast beast. When someone steals your annual present, sometimes you just have to sing anyway. My instinct is to remain pouty and cynical, but I’m going to take “the Grinch approach:” Sugar Cookie Toast Crunch was arguably the most revolutionary Holiday cereal in years, but after a two-year tenure on shelves, it has been unexpectedly replaced by Generals Mills’s new Cinnamon Star Crunch. Okay, I could easily go on for two more verses, fervently typing until my own fingers fall cold and dead, but I think it’s time to move on and face the facts. While in the trash my last Sugar Cookie Toast Crunch lies, While eyes scan the cereal aisle, the boxes plump and shining ![]() My spoon is in the dishwasher rack, your “prize inside” was fun,ĭecember’s near, Salvation Army bells I hear, the people’s stomachs rumbling, O Cookie! my Cookie! our sweet breakfasts are done, ![]()
