The Cinnamon Crisp is a breakfast cereal made by Post. It consists of wheat and oats, flavored with cinnamon, sugar, brown sugar, and a small amount of corn flour. A serving size is one-half cup. The cereal is popular in the United States and Canada, but less so in other regions of the world.

The Cinnamon Crisp was introduced in 1981. It was discontinued in the early 1990s, but later reintroduced. Its 2010 sales were $20 million, compared to $50 million for Apple Jacks.

In 2013, Post began test marketing a new version called “Cinnamon Crisp Minis”. This variation has smaller pieces of cereal, as well as a different recipe which includes fruit puffs and honey nut clusters. The cereal’s slogan is “Cinnamon’s back! Better than ever.” In 2017, Post once again stopped production of this cereal.*

The cinnamon crisp has a history that is not widely known. The recipe originated in Vienna, Austria and was given to the world by a man named Maximilian. He did this for two reasons; one reason was because he loved his culinary creations and wanted to share them with everyone. The second reason was because he was a wizard in the kitchen and had created a spell called the “Cinnamon Crisp Spell” which could be used to make delicious cinnamon crisps at any time of day.

The origin of Maximilian’s creation story begins with his father, Wilhelm. Wilhelm had always been an interested in cooking, but he never really put much effort into it until he met his wife Magdalena. Magdalena was an excellent cook and inspired her future husband to follow in her footsteps. When Wilhelm finally decided to open up his own restaurant in Vienna, Austria, Magdalena decided to help him out with all of the cooking preparation. She made sure that everything was perfect on opening day, and even helped him come up with a name for the restaurant: “Wilhelm’s Cosy Cafeteria.” The business did well and Wilhelm eventually opened up branches in many different locations across Europe.

Maximilian grew up hearing stories about how great his grandfather’s restaurant

Cinnamon is a spice obtained from the inner bark of several trees from the genus Cinnamomum. The essential oil is steam-distilled from the bark and leaves of cinnamon, which are then dried. For culinary purposes, cinnamon and cassia can be distinguished by scent: cinnamon is sweet and aromatic, whereas cassia has a more intense smell, akin to spicy bark.

Persian traders first brought cinnamon to Europe as early as 6000 BC. Since then, the spice has been imported to and traded throughout the Mediterranean region and northern Europe. The ancient Egyptians used cinnamon as an embalming spice, but most of it went to Greece, Rome, and other Mediterranean countries. In fact, the Greek word for “cassia” came to be pronounced almost exactly like their word for “cinnamon”.

Toward the end of the first century AD, Sweden became the chief importer of the two spices through its ports on the Baltic Sea. Cinnamon was so highly valued that it became one of the main subjects of trade in these ports as well as in Constantinople (present-day Istanbul) and Alexandria in Egypt. By the 10th century, however, Arab merchants began to monopolize the trade along important trade routes to Europe, such as routes through Persia and
