Taco Bell's Cap'n Crunch Delights Bring Cereal to the Drive-Thru

Taco Bell has managed to break the Internet yet again with its Cap'n Crunch Delights. The fast food chain has debuted a string of bizarre and delicious creations over the past few years, with its Doritos Locos Tacos instantly coming to mind. However, its newest treat is a dessert item with hints of breakfast and it features a timeless cereal classic, Cap'n Crunch.

Foodbeast got a first look at the treats, which will be given a test run at stores in Bakersfield, California. The Cap'n Crunch Delights are a dessert item and are fried balls of dough sprinkled with cereal and filled with icing. Taco Bell has recently committed to breakfast, and you now have to wonder if the company is setting its sights on dessert domination.
