The Froot Loops Mini Donuts have been launched nationwide at Carl's Jr. and Hardee's locations to offer consumers an alternative dessert option to pick up that's inspired by the iconic cereal. Coming in packs of five with each one a different color, the donuts consist of a Froot Loops-flavored cake donut that has been covered in a frosting that is also flavored like the breakfast cereal. The donuts come as the latest cereal-inspired treat in the QSR market as brands seek to provide consumers with nostalgic treats that harken back to their childhood.
