Kids Encyclopedia Facts

Crunchy Nut is a popular breakfast cereal made by Kellogg's. It's known for its tasty mix of corn flakes, sweet honey, different kinds of sugar, and crunchy peanuts. This cereal was first made by Kellogg's workers in their factory in Trafford Park, England. It first appeared around 1980.

In the United Kingdom, it has always been called Crunchy Nut or Crunchy Nut Corn Flakes. However, in the United States, the cereal has had a few different names. It started as Honey & Nut Corn Flakes. Later, it was called Nut & Honey Crunch in 1987. In the late 1990s, its name changed again to Honey Crunch Corn Flakes. Finally, in 2011, Crunchy Nut was officially introduced to the US market under its current name.
