At the behest of Twitter posts requesting a Cinnamon Frosted Flakes, a year ago the company began working on finding the right and after trying 100 different variations they now have the product on local grocery shelves.
I picked up a box at our local Meijer's superstore and it was on sale 2 for $5.
Although on the box it appears to have Cinnamon flecks, when I poured the cereal into the bowl the appearance was the same as regular Frosted Flakes.
When I opened the box I immediately smelled a whiff of Cinnamon and was concerned the flavor might be overpowering, but it was not; it was more of a hint of Cinnamon.
By comparison to another Cinnamony Cereal, its competitor Cinnamon Toast Crunch it has much less sugar and cinnamon and a good option if you are looking for a more grown-up version of a Cinnamon cereal and to cut down on sugar.
The only thing is it takes a little getting used to if you are been a long term Frosted Flakes lover as you are used to a certain taste with that texture and the first few spoonfuls tasted funny to me because of that on the first bowl that I had and you may have the same objection especially from children, but once you get past that it is enjoyable.
The new cinnamon version is similar to the original as far as having 10 grams sugar in a 3/4 cup serving and is 110 calories without milk.
