These new cereal cups are headed to the UK market from Inventure as a lineup of breakfast and snack products perfect for helping consumers to enjoy a familiar flavor at their leisure. The products come in four flavors including Peanut Butter Puffs, Flumps, [S'mores](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/smores-cupcake-cups) and [Marshmallow Cookie O's](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lucky-charms-products), which are each inspired by the brand's existing best-selling cereal varieties. The products each come packaged in [convenient cup-style containers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/incredifulls) that only need to have milk added to be enjoyed at school or in the office.

Bringing a playful twist on breakfast to the cereal category, the Cups are already proving to be a huge hit with customers.
