General Mills is making breakfast just a little bit more exciting with the launch of its new Kit Kat Cereal and new Spider-Verse Cereal.
Both of the new breakfast cereals will launch in May of 2023 and are geared more toward young kids – especially those that love superheroes. The new Kit Kat Cereal is designed for chocolate lovers and features "the delicious combination of milk chocolate and wafer taste, in a crunchy cereal." The brand also notes that the cereal pieces are made from whole grains and are flavored with sustainably sourced cocoa.
On the other hand, the new Spider-Verse Cereal that features Spider-Man-themed cereal pieces in a “spiderberry” flavor. The cereal also contains tiny marshmallows that look like the superhero’s mask.
Both of the new cereals can be found at retailers nationwide.
