Are You Ready For Cinnamon Toast Crunch Bacon?
Just when you thought that you have seen and heard it all when it comes to breakfast foods comes… Cinnamon Toast Bacon. Who say this one coming? We have had maple bacon for a while now and it makes perfect sense because when you think of maple, you most likely think pancakes and French toast, but now they are mashing up bacon with a favorite breakfast cereal.
I suppose that there are many more cereals that could end up being mashed up with bacon for all new flavors. For instance, how about Cap’n Crunch Peanut Butter or Fruit Loops flavored bacon? Let’s hope that those are left on the drawing board not the cutting board.
What a time to be alive!
There was a time when we didn’t have all of this variety. Believe it or not for nearly 100 years you could only buy one type of Oreo cookie, then came “double stuffed” and a few years later we could get them in over 50 different varieties.
People are demanding more from food companies when it comes to having new flavors and styles, and now bacon is being charged with coming up with variety as well. It’s no longer enough to just offer plain or maple, they have to get onboard the train of flavor.
The canned meat company Hormel is launching a new product that combines its Black Label Bacon with Cinnamon Toast Crunch cereal.
They are NOT putting bacon bits into the cereal, they’re rubbing the so-called “Cinnadust” onto thick-cut bacon. It’s then left overnight to reach “optimal flavor,” which is supposed to create a mix of sweet and salty.
Hormel describes the combination as, quote, “iconic.” And you can either take their word for it . . . or try it yourself . . . for a limited time.
Black Label Cinnamon Toast Crunch Bacon will be available at select Walmart locations starting Monday, September 16th. It’ll also be available at some Kroger stores while supplies last.

The smell of freshly cooked bacon wafting from a stovetop can immediately transport us back in time to our younger days, when our parents and grandparents made us a hearty breakfast. The good old frying pan can be used over an open fire if you happen to be camping, and nothing taste better than freshly cooked bacon at the campfire.
