Annie's Cinna Bunnies Toasted-Corn and Oat Cereal is Bland, Mediocre

I love to eat cereal for breakfast and sometimes even dinner. I typically purchase Barbara's Bakery natural cereals because they don't have tons of sugar and preservatives added. I have been enjoying Annie's "Shells and White Cheddar" for years, so when I saw that Annie's had a new cereal out, I thought I would give it a try.

Price

I bout a 9 oz box at my local wild oats market for about $4.25, this is somewhat more than I am used to paying for Barbara's cereals which I usually get on sale for about $2.99 to $3.29

About Annie's Products

Annie's Homegrown makes a variety of natural products many of which are also Organic. They are most famous for their delicious macaroni and cheese which is all natural and comes in a variety of flavors and shapes.

Taste

I tried the product both dry and with milk. At first bite, I thought the flavor was pretty good, but then quickly noticed that I'm really only tasting the cinnamon. Given that the cereal is made from both corn and oat, I was expecting to taste more of those flavors. Instead I would say that it tastes more like it's made from paper. They are even less flavorful than plain Cheerios. The texture is pretty good, they have a nice crunch but it doesn't make up for the lack of flavor. I even tried mixing them with my favorite Barbara's Puffins along with some dried cranberries, but the Annie's Cinna Bunnies tend to leave a dry bitter flavor in my mouth.
Judging by their cute name (Cinna Bunnies) and the fact that they have Bernie the Bunny games on the back of the box, I would say that they are designed for children. However, I doubt that many children would like this cereal; even kids that are used to eating natural cereals would probably find these hard to swallow.
