New Golden Oreo O’s and NILLA Wafer Cereals Taste Legit Like Dessert for Breakfast

Cookies have been making their way into breakfast for some time now. From the ’90s classic Oreo O’s cereal and Cookie Crisp, to more recently released Chips Ahoy! and Nutter Butter cereals. But starting next week, you’ll be able to get your hands on two new cookie-inspired flavors: Golden Oreo O’s cereal and NILLA Banana Pudding flavored cereal. Both cereals will be available exclusively at Walmart for $3.98 each, and both really taste like the real thing.

Golden Oreo O’s Cereal

The Golden Oreo’s cereal consists of crunchy O’s, like Cheerio rings but bigger, slightly crispier, and more golden in color. It’s frosted with a vanilla crème that makes it taste like the Golden Oreo, or like a vanilla cupcake. You could easily eat two or three bowls of this in a row—it’s super addicting. 

NILLA Wafers Banana Pudding Cereal

The NILLA Wafers cereal puts a twist on its traditional cookie and opts for a banana pudding flavor. The wafers are often used in banana pudding recipes, so it makes sense, and actually, it’s a delicious upgrade. The crunchy wafer pieces have a banana flavor with crunchy white marshmallow bits (similar to those in Lucky Charms) mixed in. Just to note: The wafer pieces are more of a light, airy cereal texture, and not just smaller versions of the cookies, although that could have been bomb. The banana flavor is also very present—it tastes just like banana Laffy Taffy. 

Both Golden Oreo O’s and NILLA Wafers Banana Pudding are good on their own without milk, straight out of the box. Mixed with milk, the flavors combine even more for one pretty epic breakfast or snack. Eating dessert for breakfast is generally frowned upon, but these cereals are the perfect excuse to get in your morning fix. And like legit cookies, you won’t be able to stop at just one bite.
