I swear.. I was like a seven year old again when I finally found these cereal boxes! I bought all of the Count Choculas and 2 Franken Berries, and Im sure Ill be back for more before they are gone for yet another year.

Ive been looking everywhere for my beloved Monster Cereal!
When I saw them on the shelf, I let out one of my girly squeals. No shame.
Count Chocula has been my all time favorite cereal since I was a kid. Count Chocula first debuted in 1971, many years before I was born. I dont know a life without him, and I�m thankful for that.
Count Chocula and Franken Berry only return to supermarket shelves every September (or August as it seems this year!) and they only stick around through to Halloween.
It�s their limited nature that makes them so special. When Count Chocula was available all year, the cereal was easy to take for granted. To survive in the competitive breakfast arena, General Mills needed to pull out and take this route.
Because they only sell these during the Halloween season, people like myself actually hoard the stuff. I buy them by the boxes so that I can can keep enjoying it even after Halloween ends.
I love this fun vampire cereal so much! The dude you could always imagine kicking back with, and while recreationally pounding a little chocolate and milk. The delicious chocolately flavour frosted cereal with spooky fun marshmallows. And now I am going to go eat some. Byeeeee.
FUN FACT:
- In 1987, when Bela Lugosi was added to that year�s special edition box art. Several people of the Jewish faith weren�t happy that it looked like Dracula was wearing a Star of David necklace, feeling that it gave a bad name to their religion.
General Mills pulled the art, and replaced it with one that had the necklace airbrushed out. The original boxes are now quite valuable on the collectibles market.
