Post Consumer Brands and Dunkin' are coming together to introduce sweet cereals inspired by Dunkin’ coffee beverages. The ready-to-eat breakfast cereals don't take inspiration from Dunkin's donuts but some of the coffee beverages on the menu, like the Mocha Latte and the Caramel Macchiato. Both of the new Post Dunkin’ cereals combine flavored marshmallow pieces and crunchy cereal bits and as an added bonus, the cereals contain a small amount of caffeine—roughly equivalent to a tenth of a cup of coffee.
As coffee and cereal are staples for some, these coffee beverage-inspired breakfast cereals combine two craveable components of a morning routine.
Outside of caffeinated beverages, busy consumers are looking for meals and snacks that can help to provide an unexpected energy boost.
