The majority of breakfast cereals are best enjoyed in a bowl with some milk, but the new Post Cinnamon Pebbles aim to take things in a different direction. Created as a new spiced take on the classic breakfast cereal, Cinnamon Pebbles are intended to be enjoyed either with milk or infused into different recipes as a way to make them more intense.

Being that foodie culture is showing little sign of slowing down, brands are responding to the rising number of consumers who are taking prepackaged foods and infusing them into their own DIY recipes. Cinnamon Pebbles is an example of this with a flavor profile that can easily be infused into seasonal desserts and treats to create something entirely beyond what has been previously thought possible with breakfast cereals.
