So they came up with this cereal called Croonchy Stars, which were basically these little cinammony, slightly-sweetened, stars. The cereal itself was great and I remember the box being especially awesome with lots of games and jokes. But within a year or so the cereal was gone from the shelves, never to be eaten again... or was it?Recently I came upon this Dora the Explorer Cereal in the supermarket and noted the similarities in size and shape. Both cereals had small yellowish stars, (although the Dora cereal has a hole through the center of the star). So I bought a box, and sure enough, it was also slightly-sweetened with a cinnamon flavor. Generals Mills makes this cereal though, so it doesn't seem possible that it's the same recipe, but it is definitely very similar.
Any one else want to conduct a taste-test of their own?

Sure, mate. I noticed the same thing which was why I did a google search and stumbled upon your blog. =) I used to love the Croonchy stars cereal. They do taste very similar, but I agree they must have a different recipe.
I know im really late on this but i just discovered a cereal called mini cinnamon churros that gave me such a nostalgic feeling. i couldnt figure out what the cereal was until i did some extensive googling and found that croonchy stars was the cereal it tasted like.
Awesome! Thanks for the update. I'll have to look around for those!
