“This collaboration is rewriting the rules of breakfast,” said Brandon Tyrrell, Senior Marketing Manager at General Mills. "Bringing these two iconic breakfast staples and irresistible flavors together gives our fans even more reasons why they Must Cinnadust.”

“After seeing the fan response to last year’s collaboration, we knew we had to bring these two breakfast icons back together,” said Aly Sill, Senior Brand Manager at Hormel Foods. “We’re shaking up the way bacon fits into daily routines, and we can’t wait for consumers to experience it.”

Each specially designed 6-ounce pouch is adorned with CINNAMON TOAST CRUNCH™ Cinnaswirls and the inspired flavor of HORMEL® BLACK LABEL® Bacon, uniting the signature branding of both household names for one unforgettable breakfast experience.
