![Oh wow, @generalmills has really outdone themselves for Halloween this year!
Look at all of this great stuff!!
Of course their monster cereals collaboration with Jim Henson Productions is going to go down in cereal history as an all-time classic. But Halloween-i-fied versions of Bugles [Boogles] and Dunkaroos [DunkaBoos] are big new favorites for me!!
These photos speak louder than anything else I can say, so start swiping and take it all in!! 👻🎃👻
Thanks to General Mills for sending and allowing me to experience all this goodness!!!
