Wendy’s is turning its Frosty into a cereal.

The fast food chain is partnering with Kellogg‘s to make Wendy’s Frosty Chocolatey Cereal, a limited-edition item that transforms the milkshake’s chocolatey taste into cereal form. It hits grocery store shelves in December for a suggested price of $3.99 and includes a coupon for a free Frosty from Wendy’s.

The Frosty was added to Wendy’s menus in the 1960’s and is still very popular.

Wendy’s much-beloved Frosty isn’t only for dessert, anymore. It’s for breakfast, too. https://t.co/MVv75oKhcU
