Dulce de Leche Cheerios debuts on store shelves

MINNEAPOLIS — Cheerios is sweetening up the cereal aisle with its latest flavor.

New Dulce de Leche Cheerios combines the nutrition of Cheerios and a caramel flavor, parent company General Mills said.

“We are really excited about our new flavor as it combines a hint of the delicious caramel flavor rooted in Latin American culture to the already great-tasting, wholesome Cheerios we all know and love,” said Jim Wilson for General Mills. “And the best part of our new breakfast treat is that Dulce de Leche Cheerios provides a healthy start to your day like any of our other Cheerios varieties.”

Dulce de Leche Cheerios cereal is now available in grocers’ cereal aisles nationwide for a suggested retail price of $3.99.
