Hormel Is Launching a Brand-New Bacon That Will Apparently Taste Just Like This Nostalgic Breakfast Cereal

When it’s time to decide what to have for breakfast in the morning, there always seems to be two options: sweet or savory. Maybe it’s a bacon, egg, and cheese kind of morning, or a blueberry muffin kind of morning. While these are delicious options, what if you wanted the best of both worlds? What if your breakfast was sweet and savory? Cinnamon Toast Crunch gets it, which is why they are launching a collaboration with Hormel to sell cinnamon-dusted bacon on your grocery store shelves. 

Hormel Black Label Bacon is partnering with Cinnamon Toast Crunch to sell a cinnamon sugar-flavored thick-cut bacon, coated with “Cinnadust,” a cinnamon sugar rub that is a blend of seasoning used on your favorite morning cereal.

Sure, it might not be a combination that you would think would go together, but trust me on this one: It does. In the same way you would enjoy a maple bacon donut or the same sweet and savory combo on roasted vegetables, the combination of the salty and savory bacon mixed with the cinnamon sugar rub makes for the best breakfast combination of all time. Or maybe even a dessert combination — because hey, why not?

Bacon and Cinnamon Toast Crunch lovers alike are excited about the latest collaboration. “Take my money,” jokes one foodie on @snackolator’s latest Instagram post about the new food find. “Imagine making this into candied bacon,” dreams another.

Snort foodie writes, “I like that idea. Breakfast sandwich with cinnamon raisin bread.” We couldn’t agree more; that sounds perfect, especially if you make a fresh loaf of homemade cinnamon raisin swirl bread to pair!

If you’re unable to get your hands on this bacon, don’t worry — there are ways you can make your own version right at home. You can actually purchase the Cinnadust Seasoning Blend and make your own Cinnadust bacon recipe straight from the Cinnamon Toast Crunch website. Or make this crispy brown sugar glazed bacon with ingredients you have already in the kitchen!
