Fans of Cinnamon Toast Crunch and coffee, rejoice. Your time is now. The Original Donut Shop recently announced their latest flavor innovation: The Original Donut Shop Cinnamon Toast Crunch One Step Latte K-Cup pod. The new flavor is available exclusively at Walmart now and brings the beloved flavor of Cinnamon Toast Crunch to your morning brew all with the convenience of your Keurig.
According to the brand, the new flavor is infused with cinnamon sugar essence and is made with coffee, sweetener, and real dairy all in one K-cup pod. It is compatible with any brewer from the Keurig collection.
"At the heart of our brand lies the passion for inspiring consumers to discover uniquely delicious coffees, and The Original Donut Shop Coffee Cinnamon Toast Crunch One Step Latte perfectly exemplifies our commitment to innovation with mood-boosting treats," Becky Opdyke, Senior Vice President, Coffee Marketing at Keurig Dr Pepper said in a statement. "We are thrilled to collaborate with a brand as iconic as Cinnamon Toast Crunch and further offer coffee enthusiasts a new way to experience the cereal's beloved flavors like never before."
"We're always looking for new ways to bring the epic flavor of Cinnamon Toast Crunch to fans and given the love we see for the Cinnamilk at the end of a bowl of cereal, a latte pairing with the ease of a K-Cup pod was a natural fit," Mindy Murray, Brand Experience Director, General Mills Cereal said.
The Original Donut Shop Cinnamon Toast Crunch One Step Latte K-Cup is currently a Walmart exclusive where it will remain until March 2024. After that, it will roll out to additional major retailers in Spring 2024.
