Kellogg\u2019s is rolling out Cocoa Loops, a chocolate-forward riff on the classic ring cereal that swaps fruity vibes for real cocoa flavor. Yes, it\u2019s the same airy crunch, and yes, it\u2019s the same iconic loop shape, but prepare your taste buds\u2014a chocolatey milk spoonful is coming. <\/p>\n<p data-journey-content=\"true\" data-node-id=\"3\" class=\"css-6wxqfj emevuu60\">The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.foodbusinessnews.net\/articles\/29260-wk-kellogg-launches-cocoa-loops\" target=\"_blank\" data-vars-ga-outbound-link=\"https:\/\/www.foodbusinessnews.net\/articles\/29260-wk-kellogg-launches-cocoa-loops\" data-vars-ga-ux-element=\"Hyperlink\" data-vars-ga-call-to-action=\"brand says\" data-node-id=\"3.1\" class=\"body-link css-1i7jlb0 emevuu60\">brand says<\/a> the new cereal is made with whole grains, delivers six essential vitamins and minerals, and skips artificial colors. And if you\u2019re wondering where this fits in the cereal universe (which already includes Cocoa Krispies, chocolate Frosted Mini-Wheats, and more), think of Cocoa Loops as an alternate timeline for Froot Loops rather than a direct sequel. It\u2019s permanent, not seasonal, and it\u2019s rolling out now with broader availability slated by January. <\/p>\n<p data-journey-content=\"true\" data-node-id=\"4\" class=\"css-6wxqfj emevuu60\">Naturally, fans have thoughts. Some are intrigued and want a taste, a few are \u201csurprised\u201d by the cereal spinoff direction, and many seem perched on the fence. \u201cIsn\u2019t this basically Oreo O\u2019s energy?\u201d one person said, with others arguing that \u201cfroot is the whole point\u201d and it\u2019s \u201can abomination of Froot Loops.\u201d <\/p>\n<section data-embed=\"watch-next\" data-lazy-id=\"P0-14\" data-node-id=\"5\" class=\"embed\"\/>\n<section data-embed=\"instagram\" data-lazy-id=\"P0-15\" data-node-id=\"6\" class=\"embed\"\/>\n<p data-journey-content=\"true\" data-node-id=\"7\" class=\"css-6wxqfj emevuu60\">\u201cThere\u2019s something unsettling about these, and I can\u2019t quite tell what,\u201d someone else commented on Instagram.<\/p>\n<p data-journey-content=\"true\" data-node-id=\"8\" class=\"css-6wxqfj emevuu60\">Fruit Loops loyalists are clearly taking it very hard. Wherever you land, Cocoa Loops, at just a glance, are one of the rare spinoffs that still look like the original\u2014only dusted in cocoa so your milk goes to the mocha side. While some retailers already have \u2018em in stock, they\u2019ll officially take their rightful spot on shelves come January for $5.29 a 9-2 oz. box.<\/p>\n<p data-journey-content=\"true\" data-node-id=\"9\" class=\"css-6wxqfj emevuu60\">If you can\u2019t spot them right away, just look for Toucan Sam in the cereal aisle\u2014he\u2019ll just be the bird wearing brown.<\/p>\n<section data-embed=\"editorial-link\" data-lazy-id=\"P0-16\" data-node-id=\"10\" class=\"embed\">\n<aside class=\"css-fcvumo e94w1mj1\"\/><\/section>\n<\/div>\n<p><br \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Kellogg\u2019s launched Cocoa Loops, a chocolate-forward twist on the classic fruity cereal.
