Cinnamon Toast Crunch consists of whole grain wheat and rice squares about 1.37cm in size, which are then coated with a blend of cinnamon and sugar, and fortified with various vitamins and minerals. [4] Cinnamon Toast Crunch (CTC), [1] known as Croque-Cannelle in French Canada and Curiously Cinnamon in the UK (previously Cinnamon Grahams), and as a variant called Cini Minis in other European and Latin American countries, is a brand of breakfast cereal produced by General Mills and Nestlé. First produced in 1984, [2] the cereal aims to provide the taste of cinnamon toast in a crunch cereal format. The cereal consists of small squares or rectangles of wheat and rice covered with cinnamon and sugar. The cereal is puffed and when immersed in milk, it makes a "snap" noise, similar to Rice Krispies. In most European countries and North America, the product is sold in boxes. In Poland and Russia the cereal is sold in bags. The product was originally marketed outside Europe with the mascot of a jolly baker named Wendell. Wendell was replaced as a mascot by the "Crazy Squares", sentient Cinnamon Toast Crunch squares that often eat each other in commercials. Cinnamon Toast Crunch was created by a scientist named John Mendesh. He worked closely with Elisabeth Trach, who was the assistant product manager at General Mills at the time. The idea was taken from a contest that the company had run. Kids could submit their favorite idea for cereal and be entered to win a prize. This was one idea submitted and they put it to use.

Next, most everyone is home right now. Many of you are home with your kids and they are bored. I don’t personally have kids, but I have my little sister, Asher, visiting me often…and she is bored. Asher’s favorite cereal? Cinnamon Toast Crunch…though she’s never had the boxed kind. My parents just don’t buy that stuff anymore (correction – Asher says she has had it at her cousins in Cleveland). But I’ve made this homemade version before and Asher has always loved it. When I told her what I was making on Sunday, her eyes widened with excitement and we had a lot of fun baking this together. So, my point? This is a great recipe to bake up if you have bored kids at home.The duo took ideas from a contest to submit cereal ideas and then ran with it to create this fun and tasty cereal option. The original cereal didn’t have the swirls of cinnamon-like what you see now, although they did have flavor in them. Hughlett, Mike (24 February 2013). "Not so Cheerio" (Newspapers.com). The Modesto Bee. Modesto, California. p.D5. Cantor, Matthew (24 March 2021). "Man claims to find sugar-coated shrimp tails in his box of cereal". The Guardian.

There was a lot of inspiration from different places for this recipe, so let me walk you through it all. In 2018, Cinnamon Toast Crunch Churros were introduced. The cereal has the same cinnamon sugar flavor as the original but is shaped like a mini churro. [15] A chocolate version soon followed, and was introduced in 2021 to the UK as Curiously Cinnamon Churros.

Next, transfer the parchment paper to a baking sheet and separate the squares, spacing them apart. After a lot of testing, I find the method of cutting the dough first and then transferring to a baking sheet to be the easiest, and to work the best. They were all their own cereal but branched from this particular option and often inspired from it as well. G., Dan (24 May 2021). "Review: Dulce de Leche Toast Crunch". Cerealously .

Originally, the cereal was plain squares but currently features cinnamon-colored swirling on each piece. It was invented by scientist John Mendesh and General Mills assistant product manager Elisabeth Trach after receiving the idea from an unnamed child in a "give us your best idea for a cereal" radio contest held by General Mills. The child received a set of Hot Wheels toys as a grand prize. Starting in 1985 there were three animated bakers as the mascots, one of which is named Wendell. The other two bakers, known as Bob and Quello, were considerably more youthful in appearance than Wendell. In 1991, the younger bakers were dropped, leaving Wendell as the sole mascot for several years. In Germany, Austria, Romania, Hungary, Israel, and Poland where a variant of the cereal is known as Cini Minis, a strawberry flavoured variant named Erdbeer Minis/ Strawberry Minis exists. [ citation needed] In Germany and Austria it replaced a previously existing apple flavoured variant called Äpple Minis. [ citation needed] This strawberry flavoured variant was later released in the UK as Curiously Strawberry. [ citation needed] Two, after making homemade Twix bars, homemade Chocolate Fudge Pop Tarts, and then, homemade Frosted Brown Sugar Cinnamon Pop Tarts, I was left wanting to create more homemade versions of my childhood favorites. Something about quarantine life has left me wanting all the nostalgic foods from my past. Is that weird? I don’t know, but I sure am having a lot of fun creating (and improving) on the boxed foods we all ate (and loved) growing up. The cinnamon adds flavor directly to the dough. The butter creates a flaky bite, the vanilla adds flavor, and the sugar sweetens it all up. Start by mixing together the cinnamon and sugar. See, super simple.Cinnamon Toast Crunch is owned by General Mills Company. General Mills makes a lot of different cereal options and they do a great job for the most part.
