From: Malt-O-Meal
Introduced in 1980


This cereal is often promoted as a value alternative to Post's Golden Crisp cereal. According to Malt-O-Meal's website in 2011, "Golden Puffs cereal is crowd pleaser made from puffed wheat sweetened with the natural sweet taste of honey!"

Company Description: The Malt-O-Meal Company dates back to 1919 when John S. Campbell developed a hot wheat breakfast cereal he called Malt-O-Meal. The company officially adopted the name The Malt-O-Meal Company in 1953. By 1965, the company had entered the ready-to-eat non-hot breakfast sector with the introduction of Puffed Rice and Puffed Wheat cereals.... Read on and see all cereals from Malt-O-Meal

Don't they market Golden Puff cereal without the sugar? We love them and can't find puffed wheat without the sugar coating. Help. Please let me know where we can find some.

Love the cereal, but concerned that it can cause diabetes because it has so much sugar.

I cannot find a store that stocks Malt-O-Meal Golden Puffs Cereal in the 33436 zip code. Trying to find a 39.5 oz box.

Golden Puffs are really good and I know I'm young but this is like almost the only cereal I will eat actually. I am eating some right now, ha ha, but I think that this cereal is really good and my whole family thinks the same thing.

38 ounce bagged cereal for $2.99? Same great taste as Sugar Smacks in the 80's? Did I just finish a second bowl? Yes, yes and yes.

It's actually better than Golden Crisp because it tastes more like the old Super Sugar Crisp from the 70's. I love it!
