Post & Dominique Ansel Reimagine Honey Bunches Of Oats With A Chocolatey Twist
Honey Bunches of Oats is receiving a chocolatey make-over thanks to Pastry Chef and Chocolate Visionary Dominique Ansel. It’s the cereal’s first new permanent flavor addition in five years and is made with real chocolate and cocoa. Crispy sweet cocoa-dusted flakes add an extra dose of rich delectable taste, baked together with chocolate granola and chocolate chips.
With the help of Ansel’s James Beard award-winning guidance, fans are invited to recreate cereal-infused recipes at home, specially crafted with the new Honey Bunches of Oats Chocolate flavor. Choose between two indulgent recipes:
- 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. Simply dip, crunch and enjoy!
- 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. It’s simply honey and chocolate heaven!
“I’m excited to team up with Honey Bunches of Oats to celebrate the launch of their new chocolate flavor,” said Ansel. “As a chef, I remember my first few years here in NYC when dinner service finished well past midnight and mornings began before the sun came up… my go-to snack would often be a bowl of cereal, something simple, easy-to-prepare and always satisfying. Cereal is one of those nostalgic things that reminds people of childhood and early memories. These days, I have two small children of my own, and it’s a special treat to enjoy cereal together around the table as a family.”
Whip up one of Ansel’s crave-worthy recipes today, as Honey Bunches of Oats Chocolate is now available at retailers nationwide.
