[Dippin’ Dots](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dippin-dots-1) is the leading flash frozen ice cream and frozen treats company in the U.S.. Though the brand has a wide variety of Dippin' Dots flavors already, the new Frooty Cereal one may be the most exciting yet. The Frooty Cereal Dippin' Dots are bright pink in color and tastes just like a combination of [milk and fruity cereal](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cereal-concrete-mixers) in the form of [flash frozen beaded ice cream](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mini-melts). In other words, the new dessert is perfect for those who enjoy drinking the milk that remains after eating a big bowl of cereal. As the Senior Director of Franchising for Dippin’ Dots Steve Rothenstein explains: "We thought Frooty Cereal was the perfect flavor to introduce right now, as it’s something different from typical fall flavors like pumpkin spice and salted caramel that we’re seeing everywhere else."
