News: General Mills Brings Back Fruit Brute and Yummy Mummy

While they used to be available year round, Count Chocula and his Monster Cereal friends, Franken Berry and Boo Berry, have since been relegated to seasonal Halloween duties and it's that time of the year again. This year, the General Mills Halloween trio are joined by two monster flavors that haven't been seen in over 20 years: Fruit Brute and Yummy Mummy.

All five Monster Cereal flavors are available now at select retailers and will reach full nationwide distribution in early September, while supplies last. For those of you into retro packaging, retro boxes of all five cereals will also be available, but only at Target stores.

All five flavors feature variously-flavored whole grain corn cereal and colorful marshmallow shapes. Chococula is chocolate-flavored; Franken Berry is strawberry-flavored; Boo Berry is blueberry-flavored; Fruit Brute is fruit-flavored with lime-flavored marshmallows, and Yummy Mummy is fruit-flavored with vanilla-flavored marshmallows.

You can expect the limited-time cereals to be available at least through Halloween.
