General Mills prepares to launch another limited-edition product that is set to join its Cinnamon Toast Crunch series with the latest CinnaFuego Toast Crunch snack to join the roster. The new product is described to be a "perfect combination of sweet and spicy." It features sweet cinnamon in the shape of the iconic squares but packs a punch with the spicy pepper addition as well.
It is a bite-sized snack that is packaged in a resealable pouch to carry around. Speaking about the new snack, Mindy Murray, Senior Marketing Communications Manager at General Mills states “CTC is always looking to give our fans the most absurd and exciting experiences [...] So when we were thinking about what to do next, we realized snack time was a moment that could be spiced up. We cant wait for CTC lovers to tryCinnaFuego, and if they dare, eat it with some milk for breakfast.”
