"Stranger Things" and Nature Valley Return Peanut Butter Boppers for the First Time Since 1989 for the Show’s Fifth and Final Season

MINNEAPOLIS, MN — Get ready to dust off the Walkman, turn back the clock and maybe open a rift or two. The nostalgic Nature Valley Peanut Butter Boppers from the 1980s have reappeared, and this time, they’ve made their way to Hawkins, Indiana.

The retro favorite is reemerging online, with a limited-edition drop of Nature Valley Fudge Chip Peanut Butter Boppers wrapped in totally tubular Stranger Things-inspired packaging straight out of Hawkins.

The snack returns in its original recipe, with a creamy peanut butter center rolled in crisp rice cereal and decadent fudge chips for a rich, crunchy-meets-creamy bite that’s pure 1980s bliss. It’s like a time capsule you can snack on. Fans can snag this nostalgic treat along with a shirt and a special recipe card in a limited-edition kit beginning Wednesday, December 3 for $19.87 exclusively at sreppob.com (Boppers spelled backward in a wink and nod to the Upside Down) while supplies last!

“We’re beyond excited to bring Boppers back from the 1980s and into fans’ hands one more time,” said Ray Joncas, VP, Bars Business Unit at General Mills. “The beloved creamy, indulgent peanut butter-filled snack is the perfect match for streaming the new season, and we can’t wait for fans to enjoy!”

And those who miss the drop, or can't get enough of the melt-in-your-mouth, blast-from-the-past, you can still find the DIY Boppers recipe on NatureValley.com so everyone can recreate the nostalgia at home using Nature Valley Oats N Honey Crunchy Bars or Granola (no supernatural powers or Hawkins Laboratory equipment required)!
