Yes, it’s as if our minds have been read and cereal-prayers have been answered. Two varieties, inspired by two of the most popular classics, Thin Mints and Caramel Delights, will bring you cookies for breakfast in a whole new way.

Though far from being breakfast super-foods, the cereals claim to be whole grain, and made without any artificial colors, preservatives, or flavors.

Only time will tell if they can measure up to the cookie Girl Scout cookie experience, but if all else fails, at least you can chase a bowl with a box of actual Thin Mints. #winning
