Walmart is transforming dessert into a socially acceptable breakfast option with its new Funfetti Cereal. Sold in a family size box, this sugary sweet cereal is perfect for sharing with anyone who has an insatiable sweet tooth.
Walmart's new Funfetti Cereal is a tasty breakfast cereal created by Pillsbury and inspired by candy-studded funfetti cake mix. Each box is filled with crunchy cereal pieces flecked with colorful candy bits—just like real cake mix. The packaging even shows the cereal inside of a cupcake wrapper, instead of a bowl, to drive home the dessert-flavored inspiration.
While Pillsbury's new Funfetti Cereal is great on its own, the sweet profile of the cereal also lends itself well to baked goods or as a crunchy topping for soft desserts like ice cream.
