In my pre-Gluten Free life I have had Puffins cereal. The little pillows were tasty and had a nice crunch.
While shopping at Whole Foods over the weekend I spotted Gluten Free Honey Rice Puffins.

The cereal has the signature Puffins crunch however it had a strong almond taste not a honey taste. From the ingredients list above I’m guessing the “Natural Flavor” might be almond extract of some sort. I’m not too fond of almond flavoring so I’m not a big fan. However if someone likes almond flavoring you will enjoy this cereal.
On a side note: I greatly appreciate that they actually verify the level of Gluten in their product.
