The Kellogg's Hot Cross Bun Flavour Wheats cereal is being launched by the brand in the UK as a limited-edition breakfast option for consumers to pick up when seeking out an alternative way to enjoy a traditional springtime treat.
The cereal is crafted with crunchy wheat shells that are paired with the flavor of dried fruit, cinnamon, ginger and spices with a finishing touch of candied lemon peel. The high-fiber cereal is low in both salt and saturated fats, and is being launched starting next week at Asda and Sainsbury's locations starting at £1.80 per pack.
Food Designer at Kellogg's Kirsty Smith commented on the new Kellogg's Hot Cross Bun Flavour Wheats cereal saying, "In order to get the perfect flavour, we sampled a number of hot cross buns to help us understand what made certain ones so good. We then took our hot cross bun expertise and applied it to our cereal. The filling in the crunchy casing all comes together to deliver that famous Easter taste."
