Review
Surprisingly, these don’t have much of a smell to them despite the crazy flavors they advertise. They also look like regular Cinnamon Toast Crunch pieces.
Taste-wise, I initially couldn’t figure it out, but after a few more bites, it tasted like Cinnamon Toast Crunch with less cinnamon and sugar replaced by a sweet caramel. Notably, the traditional buttery graham cracker taste that CTC is known for didn’t change here, so you really notice it as it sticks out. Anyway, while I did say sweet caramel, don’t get me wrong; these are still overall a tad less sugary sweet than the OGs. It’s close, but it doesn’t quite hit as hard. Lastly, and perhaps most importantly, I didn’t get any explicit latte or coffee taste.
In milk, the flavors do pop more, additionally picking up some creaminess and giving you the suggestion of a latte-like flavor profile and feel without the coffee. It becomes much creamier and starts to resemble a mildly to moderately sweet caramel latte, with an overt graham cracker flavor. Again, the coffee flavor isn’t really there, and to me, this version of Cinnamon Toast Crunch is still missing some sweetness.
Last but not least, the cereal milk is mildly sugary-sweet, with a touch of caramel at best, and mostly remains disappointingly plain. The cereal softens a bit in milk, becoming somewhat clumpy just like the originals.

Release Date
Three new Dunkin’-inspired cereals were announced on November 2, 2026, for a December 2026 release: Cinnamon Toast Crunch Dunkin’ Cinnamon Caramel Latte, Reese’s Puffs Dunkin’ Peanut Butter Mocha, and Golden Grahams Dunkin’ Vanilla Graham Latte.
I found the Cinnamon Toast Crunch and Reese’s Puffs varieties at Stop & Shop in early to mid-November 2026.
