LOS ANGELES - I scream, you scream, we all scream because ice cream can now be a part of a balanced breakfast.

General Mills is launching an ice cream-flavored cereal that’s inspired by Drumsticks, the universally beloved ice cream sundae cones.

A General Mills representative said the cereals are beginning to appear at select stores now and will be more widely available nationwide later this summer.

Ice cream for breakfast: Drumstick cereal hitting the shelves this summer

I scream, you scream, we all scream because ice cream can now be a part of a balanced breakfast. 

You won’t have to worry about anything melting since the cereal isn’t actually made with real ice cream like the original treat, which is encased in a chocolate shell and covered in peanuts. The cereals are made of sweetened corn and wheat.

Both flavors of Drumstick cereal cost $3.98 for a 17.5-ounce box.
