Birthday Cake Breakfast Cereals

The New Cookie Crisp Puts a Birthday-Themed Twist on Breakfast

— March 14, 2018 — Lifestyle
Regardless of whether it is your birthday or not, General Mills' new Birthday Cake-Flavored Cookie Crisp cereal lets you start every morning as if it were your special day.

Birthday Cake-Flavored Cookie Crisp is a funfetti-themed take on the popular Cookie Crisp cereal. Like the original, the limited-edition version of the cereal is made up of tiny cookie pieces. However, instead of tiny chocolate chip cookies, the new version features buttery vanilla biscuits dotted with colorful rainbow sprinkles. General Mills also emphasizes that the cereal is made from whole grains and naturally flavored.

Available for just a limited-time, the new funfetti cereal gives kids a more nutritious way to enjoy eating birthday cake for breakfast.
