Marshmallow cereal milk mixed with espresso? What could be better?!
Cereal seems so embedded into our childhood memories. Remember waking up early to get ready for school and throwing back sweet spoonfuls of Trix, Rice Krispies or Lucky Charms? It was easy, accessible and oh-so delicious. And as much as we loved the cereal itself, the secret treat was really the milk at the end. It was basically my favorite part, and I know I’m not alone.
Earlier this year, Dunkin’ dropped its highly anticipated fall menu, which, of course, includes the fan fave Pumpkin Spice Signature latte. But what really caught my eye was the brand-new Cereal N’ Milk latte. Sudden childhood flashbacks came to mind, and I absolutely knew I had to have a taste.
What’s in the Dunkin’ Cereal N’ Milk latte?
The Cereal N’ Milk latte is a mix of marshmallow cereal milk and espresso. According to Dunkin’, the milk was created using actual cereal to deliver the most unmistakable cereal milk flavor. Outside of that, the latte doesn’t have any flashy extras like whipped cream or sprinkles; just good old-fashioned flavor and coffee.
Hot vs. Iced: Here’s Which Dunkin’ Cereal N’ Milk Latte Was Better
Since the latte is available both hot and iced, I knew I had to try both. If you’re an avid flavored-coffee drinker, you know that the flavor does in fact change based on the temperature of the drink. I had to cover all my bases if I wanted this to be part of my fall coffee rotation.
Let’s start off with the flavor itself. My first impression was sheer wonder. Wonder about how the heck they got the flavor to be so exceedingly accurate. I’ve had quite a bit of Lucky Charms cereal and cereal milk in my day, and it’s truly indisputable. The coffee version had a strong, present marshmallow taste without the fake aftertaste. On top of that, it didn’t overpower the coffee and vice versa. I haven’t had Lucky Charms in probably over a decade, but this latte made me want to grab a box ASAP.
Now, it might be nostalgia talking, but the iced version tasted better. It just fits the memo more, doesn’t it? Cereal milk is cold so, naturally, the cold coffee fits the mold. It was my favorite of the two. However, if you’re not a fan of iced and are a diehard hot latte fan, don’t worry. The hot version is just as accurate with just a wee bit more of the espresso taste coming through.
How long is the Dunkin’ Cereal N’ Milk latte available?
The Dunkin’ fall menu is live now through fall, likely toward the end of October before the winter menu hits. Give your childhood self a treat this fall, and go enjoy a Cereal N’ Milk latte. You’ll thank me later!
