Cinnamon Toast Crunch collabs with Hormel's Black Label in sweet and salty bacon launch
A General Mills cereal is coming for your bacon, literally.
Cinnamon Toast Crunch wants to make bacon sweet, working with Hormel's Black Label to make cinnamon-flavored bacon a reality, according to a Tuesday news release. The limited-edition product delivers a "sugary crust with a delicious balance of cinnamon, sugar, salt and savory bacon taste" in every bite.
"Cinnadust" seasoning is hand-rubbed onto slabs of Hormel's thick-cut bacon and held overnight to guarantee the most cinnamon-y flavor possible.
Brandon Tyrrell, a Cinnamon Toast Crunch spokesperson, said in a statement that the collaboration was a "no-brainer" because it will deliver the "epic flavor" customers know and love in more ways than one. He added that sweet and savory pairings are a "classic combination."
The collab is a first for Hormel's Black Label, who wanted to "go big" with its first co-branded bacon product, according to Hormel spokesperson Aly Sill.
"We're excited to bring fans a bacon that is packed with flavor and blasted with CINNADUST seasoning blend for any eating occasion," Sill said in a statement.
