Holiday Snack-Inspired Cereals

Caramel Corn Chex Cereal is Arriving Now for the Fall

Caramel Corn Chex cereal is a new limited time offering from General Mills that's inspired by the classic holiday snack to offer an easier way to enjoy it. The product starts off with the classic Chex cereal pieces that are covered in a caramel corn-inspired flavor to give it the perfect taste profile for enjoyment with milk or right out of the box. The cereal is inspired by the classic popcorn tin snack gift that is commonly given around the holidays as a present or gift for a host.

Caramel Corn Chex cereal is launching as a Walmart exclusive for a limited time and has a brown-hued plaid branding with a bow to further drive home the holiday gift-inspired nature of the product.
