We had a container that was Kroger brand (big chain grocery concern in our area); I got addicted to cinnamon toast and soon ran out.
When I asked the wife to pick up some more, she told me to just make my own --- and I did just that.
I put about one part cinnamon to three parts pure cane sugar, mixed it well, and dumped it in the shaker; my homemade blend suits me better than the store-bought did.

As for pure cane sugar, for several years, we have been using "Zulka  Morena  Pure Cane Sugar", it comes in a 4-lb see-thru plastic bag and I think she gets it at Walmart (I HATE that place and never go in one myself; I had the sad misfortune of working in one a few years ago and it was an eye-opening experience; it is no wonder half the stuff you buy is broken in the box)

Anyhow, last fall, they opened a big new Rural King a couple counties over from us.
The wife went and checked it out and bought more stuff than she could haul; TSC in that town will soon be boarded up.
Thinking we could save some money, she got a 10-pound bag of their Farmer's Select Pure Cane Sugar for less that the 4-pound bag of the Morena that we had been using.
It takes three spoons of the Farmer's Select to get close to the taste of two spoons of the Morena; and, the Farmer's Select is all clumped up and refuses to pour out of anything smaller than a large mouth container; I beat and progue and loosen it up and the next time I reach for it it is all clumped up again; we never have that problem with the Morena.
Needless to say, once we finally got that ten-pound bag gone, we went back to the Morena. 

Just checked our rural king they have chef's select not baker's select cinnamon sugar.

make yer own Joe...it ain't hard, I do it all the time.

Just for fun, I googled it. There's a lot of it on Amazon.

Dang addiction sucks. It's always something ya like a lot to. Go easy on that Sugar and High Glycemic Carb stuff. We want you on here for another 100 or so years, and that goes for you to Shammers.

Look out now Chas......you're a marked man!!  You'll have em BOTH after your scalp!

I always made my own too.  Just keep puttin in the cinnamon until the color looks right to you.  I've never measured.  I like it on toast in the mornings.  Goes on waffles, pancakes, toast and cereal.  And of course, in your coffee.  I just like plain cinnamon in my coffee though, I can't stand sugar in coffee,,,,

might try "splenda" with the brown stuff.
