Wake Up To Girl Scouts Breakfast Cereal

(RTTNews) - Fans of Girl Scouts Cookies can rejoice. General Mills Inc. (GIS) has confirmed its plans to launch two cereals inspired by Girl Scout cookies next year.

"The Girl Scouts Cookie cereals will be available nationwide in January. We will provide additional information when we are closer to the launch," Mike Siemienas, Manager of Brand Media Relations for General Mills, said.

However, the sweetened whole grain corn cereals will be available only for a limited time.

The cereals will come in two flavors and in boxes carrying the Girl Scouts logo. One of the flavors will be "Thin Mints," a cereal that is derived from the popular Girl Scouts' cookie of the same name.

The other flavor will be "Caramel Crunch," derived from the Caramel deLites cookies, also known as Samoas. The boxes carry the Girl Scouts logo.

In June, Pillsbury announced a new partnership with Girl Scouts of the USA to make Girl Scout Cookie flavored baking mixes.

The offerings by Pillsbury included Girl Scouts Caramel & Coconut Flavored Cupcake Mix, Girl Scouts Caramel & Coconut Flavored Blondie Mix, Girl Scouts Thin Mints Flavored Cupcake Mix, and Girl Scouts Thin Mints Flavored Brownie Mix.
