The sweet breakfast cereal shares 14 grams of sugar per each one cup serving and it's a treat that promises to satisfy Millennials as well as a whole new generation of cereal lovers. The cookie and confetti icing snack that originally launched in 1990 was revived this year and now people are getting the chance to experience the flavors of the nostalgic treat in many new forms. The breakfast cereal helps to make the flavors of Dunkaroos appropriate for breakfast, which is something anyone with a sweet tooth will appreciate.
