Two of the biggest names in the breakfast game, Hormel and General Mill's, have teamed up to create a very unexpected new product: Black Label Cinnamon Toast Crunch Bacon.
As you might have guessed from the name, the new product combines the quality cuts of pork used to make Hormel's Black Label Bacon with the iconic taste of Cinnamon Toast Crunch cereal. Inside each package, you can expect to find thick-cut bacon hand-rubbed with a Cinnadust seasoning blend. When cooked, the crisp bacon has a sweet, savory, and salty flavor profile that pairs perfectly with classic breakfast dishes like pancakes and French toast.
Hormel's new Black Label Cinnamon Toast Crunch Bacon will officially launch on September 16, 2024, at select Walmart stores nationwide and at select Kroger stores in the following weeks.
