Breakfast just got a whole lot easier thanks to the new and exciting Chocolate Toast Crunch. There are an array of NEW General Mills cereals being stocked in the very much needed Family Size at your local Walmart stores.
I have a picky eater. That is OK. I know sometimes we feel we need to push more vegetables and fruits on their plates along with tears and tantrums. I just want my child to be excited to eat something before leaving for school on an early cold morning. I know he may not like what the school is serving for breakfast, with a real fear of peaches after getting ill once.
My motto is, waking up early for school will not be nearly as miserable, if my son is excited to get to the kitchen for breakfast. We found this to be true even on the weekends with the Chocolate Toast Crunch. I’m fine with my son saying he hates school every single morning. I am not fine with him refusing to eat breakfast and starving until I pick him up.
We can’t win all the battles. As parents we need to sometimes cater to the picky eaters and make sure they are happy, full, and can focus. If your child pushes the bread or fruits around the plate, try them at home later. Not when they need to go the next few hours with a need to focus.
It is all about balance. This morning, kiddo had a heaping bowl of Chocolate Toast Crunch. For lunch he had a turkey sandwich, banana, and crackers. I am limited on time in the mornings. Taking complaints from the village of animals, trying to get the kid dressed and fed, with him begging to make sure he has time to watch a few minutes of cartoons, I need simplicity.
With a flavor your kids will love (my husband also is obsessed with it), an amazing price point for a huge Family Size box at Walmart, and knowing it won’t sit in the pantry getting stale because the kid is excited to eat it in the mornings…shoot, he wants it for his dessert sometimes instead of ice cream!
We are all doing the best we can and I think we need to cut ourselves a little slack when it comes to breakfast. We all want to be SuperMom with organic foods and perfect lives. Let’s be honest, we are living in a chaotic world and breakfast is the last thing we should be struggling to try to get our kids to eat!
So heres to all the Moms who have picky eaters. Your mornings are now saved! Sleep in for an extra 5-10 minutes because you don’t need to cook something. I should also tell you, it is probably the easiest and best snacking cereal as a dry snack as well. My son asks for me to put some in a baggy for him to eat on the car ride after his swim classes. Not just for breakfast folks!
Find a store near you that is carrying the NEW General Mills Chocolate Toast Crunch.

Looks like he is enjoying his breakfast. Chocolate for breakfast isn’t my choice but kids would like it
That sounds really good. We always have cinnamon toast crunch in the house, so I will have to pick up a box of this.
My kiddo is a huge chocolate lover so this is definitely a win for us. I have not seen this one of the stores yet but when I do I would definitely be buying it for him.
We love this cereal! My kids have always enjoyed this brand. It’s usually what they have in the mornings to help keep them going. Heck, I still eat it too!
my kids ADORE this right now and i love that it can help w/ picky eaters ha- who wouldn’t love a little bit of chocolate in the morning!
I am so glad you found something that works for both of you! I too have picky eaters, and your suggestions hit home with me in a positive and enlightening way.
My son hasn’t tried this Cereal but I am wondering if he would enjoy it since it’s Chocolate. Although I wouldn’t eat it with him with me trying to lose weight I am working hard to watch what I eat and when.
My kids tried this and still liked the original better and I was actually shocked because they love chocolate. I have picky eaters but I bribe them to try stuff
I haven’t heard of this yet but I bet it’s delicious! I’m going to have to pick some up for the kids.
I love this cereal! I used to keep it in my cupboard all the time. Now it is a fun treat, made for Saturdays!!
CHOCOLATE Cinnamon Crunch?? YES PLEASE!! I need this in my life ASAP!!
My kids favorite cereal is mini wheat. They don’t eat cereal for breakfast but they always have it after school.
I have a picky eater here too. I will have to ask him first if he would like to try that cereal. He does love chocolate, but not sure about the cinnamon.
My kids always loved cinnamon crunch toast and I’m sure they would have enjoyed this too. Cereal is a great snack, I still sometimes have a handful when I can’t decide what to snack on.
I haven’t seen this on store shelves yet. Will have to keep an eye out for it!
Oh my son is the pickiest eater I know. FO rthe longest time I literally couldn’t get him to eat more than 5 things. FOr over a decade. He is up to about 20 things now and he is 17, but still super super picky.
My kids would be all over this. I probably shouldn’t even let me know this exists!
Now you can’t go wrong with Cinnamon Toast Crunch cereal!
This is such a perfect for kids and definitely they would be loved this for sure.
