Breakfast Cereal-Flavored Candy Bars

The Kit Kat Fruity Cereal Bar Mimics a Familiar Flavor

— June 9, 2021 — Marketing
The Kit Kat Fruity Cereal bar is one of the latest offerings from Hershey's that aims to provide consumers with a way to enjoy the sweet, creamy flavor of breakfast cereal. The candy bar features its signature crispy wafers that have been covered in a cereal-flavored coating with a light pink color to have it look almost like multicolored cereal milk. The coating is infused with rainbow-colored specks to further enhance the cereal-like nature of the treat.

The Kit Kat Fruity Cereal bar is a limited-edition offering from the brand that is hitting store shelves in the US now with a price point of $1.09 each. The treat is likely to be favored amongst consumers with a penchant for fruit cereal-flavored sweets.
