'Mornflake' recently unveiled a new cereal that is infused with a delicious chocolate and orange filling. Chocolate and orange is a classic flavor combination that is often associated with the holiday season. As summer beings to turn into fall, this cereal provides a tasty alternative to traditional autumn flavors such as pumpkin and apple.

The new 'Chocolatey Orange Squares' feature a [crunchy cereal shell](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mexican-style-hot-chocolate-cereal) and a sweet [chocolate and orange flavored filling](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/terrys-chocolate-orange-bombe). The cereal is made with real milk chocolate, which gives it a rich and creamy texture. The addition of orange gives the cereal a light citrus taste that helps to balance out the richness of the chocolate. Despite its sweet taste, the cereal is packed with healthy vitamins and minerals.

The decadent breakfast cereal demonstrates that consumers are interested in foods that offer [unique chocolate pairings](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/popcorn-kitchen-chocolate-orange).
