The Hot Cocoa Cocoa Puffs from General Mills is the latest creation from the brand that draws inspiration from the classic cold weather beverage for a breakfast option that's sure to satisfy those with a sweet tooth. The cereal consists of chocolate-flavored corn puffs that have been mixed with marshmallows to create a cold version of the treat that is more like a rich dessert than a breakfast cereal.
The Hot Cocoa Cocoa Puffs is limited-edition and could also be paired with warm milk for a truly authentic hot chocolate taste experience. The cereal comes as a seasonal product that plays on the notion of food and drinks that you would enjoy during the winter months for a different kind of taste and texture experience.
