Honey Bunches of Oats is giving fans a new way to enjoy rich chocolate with the introduction of its new cereal – Honey Bunches of Oats Chocolate, which is the first new permanent addition to its portfolio in five years. To celebrate the new product launch, the brand is teaming up with pastry innovator, creator of the Cronut, and chocolate-aficionado Dominique Ansel to invite fans to add a little treat to their day with the cereal.

A twist on a beloved classic, Honey Bunches of Oats Chocolate is made with real chocolate and real cocoa, featuring crispy sweet-cocoa dusted flakes and rich chocolate granola with real chocolate chips baked into every crunchy cluster. 

As a busy chef, business owner and dad, Chef Dominique loves to add a touch of decadence to each day, which makes him a partner to celebrate the launch of Honey Bunches of Oat's indulgent new flavor. The James Beard award-winning pastry chef created two recipes, inspired by and featuring Honey Bunches of Oats Chocolate cereal.

Honey Bunches of Oats Chocolate Crispy "Fries" & Chocolate Milkshake: There's something so satisfying about pairing salty and sweet. Chef Dominique has created crispy pommes frites coated in Honey Bunches of Oats Chocolate cereal for the ultimate crunchy indulgence, paired with a rich chocolate milkshake (complete with a chocolate-y cereal rim) to match.

Honey Bunches of Oats Chocolate Baklava: It's all in the "chocolate" layers! Our version of classic baklava – the traditional Greek pastry made with layers of phyllo, honey and chopped nuts – gets a decadent chocolate makeover with plenty of crunch. This recipe features layers upon layers of crispy, flaky phyllo drizzled with honey syrup, studded with crunchy chocolate cereal clusters and toasted sliced almonds throughout.

Honey Bunches of Oats Chocolate is available now at retailers nationwide.
