Fans Say This ‘Perfectly Crispy' Nostalgic Snack Tastes ‘Way Better Than the Little Debbie Version'

Fans Say This 'Perfectly Crispy' Nostalgic Snack Tastes 'Way Better Than the Little Debbie Version' originally appeared on Parade. If you grew up with a sweet treat tucked into your lunchbox, prepare for a serious blast from the past with a major upgrade. Snack fans everywhere are buzzing about a crispy, chocolate-coated treat that's reminding them of their childhood favorites... only better. Enter: Wonder Peanut Butter Wafers. Yes, the same iconic brand behind Wonder Bread. While the brand may be best known for white sandwich bread and colorful packaging, it's quietly stepped into the snack game and people are freaking out in the best way. Fans are loving these bars featuring layers of crunchy wafers stuffed with smooth peanut butter and finished with a rich chocolatey coating. They look familiar, sure, but the taste? That's where things get interesting. According to fans, they're lighter, crispier, and more peanut buttery than the classic Little Debbie version. 🍳 SIGN UP to get delicious recipes, handy kitchen hacks & fun food news in our daily Pop Kitchen newsletter 🍳 Instagram user @your_snack_dealer found the sweet treat at Meijer. One reviewer compared the experience to 'crunching into a memory, but with better texture.' Others are calling them 'dangerously good' and claiming they're the upgraded version of the peanut butter wafer snacks we all know and love. Shoppers say they're easy to find at major retailers, like Walmart and Safeway, and usually ring in at around $5 per box, making them an easy, low-risk treat to toss into your cart. Each bar comes individually wrapped, making them perfect for lunchboxes, glove compartments or just snack drawer emergencies. But what really has people talking is the texture. Where some wafer snacks can turn soft or overly sweet, these keep their crunch and balance, according to fans. The peanut butter is "smooth without being overwhelming," and the coating is just enough to give it that classic 'candy bar meets snack bar' feel. If you're looking for a new sweet snack to fall in love with, these throwback bars are having a serious moment. The nostalgia is real. But according to fans, the flavor might be even better than you remember. So if you see a bright red box with the Wonder logo peeking out from the snack aisle, don't hesitate. Grab it. Taste it.

Little Debbie Just Gave Us a Delicious Reason to Revisit the Snack Aisle

Let's be real: if snacks had a VIP section, Little Debbie would already be in it—heels kicked up, sipping a Yoo-hoo. And now? She's back with a new flex: Old Fashioned Donuts. That's right—our beloved childhood snack queen is rolling out a classic cake-style donut that's about to make your pantry feel brand new (and highly snackable). These golden rings of greatness are dense, buttery, and dripping with that sweet, signature glaze. Each box comes with six individually-wrapped full-size donuts, which means your summer snack stash just leveled up. Think: classic coffees shop vibes, but with Little Debbie convenience. No mess, no sharing listen, if you've seen Ice Cube's iconic 2002 film Friday After Next, you already know the truth—Baby D would've been all over these. After all, "Baby D knows all the new snacks before they even hit the street.' From the crispy edges to the moist center, they're built for sneaky bites, midnight cravings or the classic coffee setup next to your morning brew. What makes them special? They bring big nostalgia energy. If the tasty new item is giving you deja vu, it's because they may remind you of the brand's legendary Donut Sticks. This time though, the donuts offer a thicker, richer and way more satisfying bite. Dare I say, they might even snatch the crown from Hostess Donettes. Yeah, I said teasing fans on National Donut Day, Little Debbie officially confirmed the launch, and snack fans everywhere went wild. One person on Instagram said, 'This is generational,' and honestly, I felt that. Expect to see these on grocery shelves nationwide by the end of June, with some retailers already stocking shelves now. Whether you're packing them in your beach bag, hiding them in your desk drawer, or just unapologetically living your best snack life, they're coming for your cravings. Bottom line: Little Debbie just pulled off a glow-up on a classic. And if Baby D was right? You better grab yours before the streets Debbie Just Gave Us a Delicious Reason to Revisit the Snack Aisle first appeared on Men's Journal on Jun 18, 2025

Ranking The Best Little Debbie Snacks

Whether you grew up with these wonderful snacks or are just looking for something yummy to try, here is a ranked list of the best Little Debbie snacks. I don't think there is a Little Debbie that exists or did exist that I didn't like. (Not including seasonal or discontinued snacks). Pecan Spinwheels Maybe not everyone's go-to snack, but these were definitely a staple in my household growing up. Pecan isn't my favorite, and I will refuse a pecan pie, but the pecan bits and flavor aren't too overwhelming and subtle enough to enjoy with a nice coffee. Nutty Buddy Bars How can you go wrong with a peanut butter and chocolate combo?! This delight has the right amount of wafer crunch and peanut butter to chocolate ratio. Having a cold glass of milk was always the way to go, and it never disappointed. There's something so nostalgic about Nutty Buddies (but maybe I'm just old too…). Devil Cremes Now, I may not be a chocolate enthusiast, BUT these definitely hit the spot. The 'devil' in the title is right! I would eat a whole box of these at once if I could. Cherry Fruit Pie THESE! These right here. I LIVED off these growing up, and I could probably dedicate Little Debbie for my adult sweet tooth because of these cherry pies. I would often have these for breakfast and then be on a sugar high for most of my morning. Putting them in the microwave for a few seconds was pure perfection. Mini Blueberry Muffins Including these muffins should always be essential in a Little Debbie list. They never fail to be perfectly moist (apologies if you hate that word like the rest of us). Crunch Donuts To this day, I will snack on these for breakfast every so often. Unpopular opinion, but Crunch Donuts are the BEST donuts from Little Debbie, and you can't make me change my mind. There is something about the crunch that makes these top tier above the other donuts. Don't come for me! Zebra Cakes These are probably the most nostalgic of all the Little Debbie snacks. From snacks, gum, and fashion, there was just something so cool about zebra print in the '90s. These were absolutely a staple in my childhood, and I could never go wrong with grabbing one of these. Star Crunch I could eat the entire box of these. The crispy rice just really puts the whole snack together for me. The ratio of chocolate, caramel, and crisp rice is to perfection. I could easily eat like 5 of these at once. Also, just look at the packaging! Excellent marketing and an excellent snack. Oatmeal Creme Pies These hold a special place in my heart. Oatmeal Creme Pies could never hurt me and always filled me with joy. These pies go with any occasion, any mood, and any activity. Yet another staple that was in my childhood. Solid 10/10 snack. Strawberry Shortcake Rolls *Drumroll*! Ta-Da!! These are my #1 pick of the best Little Debbie snacks. I LOVE a good pastry that has some type of fruit filling (preferably strawberry because it's just top tier!) and creme! I always have to resist impulse buying these at the store, or else I'll buy way too many boxes that my cholesterol won't allow me to have. Call me basic for putting these as #1 instead of Oatmeal Creme Pies, but they are just so great!

Millennials Are Realizing Their Bodies Just Can't Handle These Foods Anymore, And It's Getting Personal

You think we'd have seen it coming — the moment our favorite foods turned against us. But for a lot of millennials, it still feels like a personal betrayal. So when u/TheCIAandFBI asked, "Alright millennials, what foods have you found yourself forced to give up due to aging?" the responses were painfully relatable. From dairy disasters to red sauce regrets, here are some of the funniest, most dramatic, and all-too-real replies: 1."For me, it's bananas and any sort of beans. Bananas make me feel like I've been punched in the stomach, and black beans will have me nearly immobile from discomfort (and it isn't IBS — I got checked!). It's simply the fact that I am, despite what I tell people, getting older..." undefinedundefinedundefined 2."I think alcohol and I are breaking up. I'm a 'one and done' when I used to be the person who got a round of shots." undefinedundefined 3."It should be cheese, but I refuse to go gentle into that good night." undefined 4."Not give up, but I've drastically reduced my dairy intake. Long gone are the days where I could eat an entire cheesecake by myself." undefinedundefinedundefinedundefined 5."I'm in Minnesota. Imagine my sadness as I say…ranch." undefined 6."Coffee. It messes with the acidity of my stomach, makes digestion incomplete, and gives me skin issues. I've bad eczema since I was 16. It's not like it suddenly started at 40. It just took me that long to figure out it was coffee." undefined 7."Corn. And red sauce of any kind after 5:30 p.m." undefinedundefined Related: Can We Guess How Old You Are Based On What Foods You Will And Won't Eat? 8."High fructose corn syrup — 20-plus years. Soy lecithin — two-plus years. I've more or less stopped eating heavily processed and preserved foods, so most junk candy, cereal, instant meals, etc. I could go on." undefined 9."Not so much forced to give up, but many foods I used to love now taste terrible. Little Debbie, Hostess, Mrs. Tasty, Kool-Aid, Hawaiian Punch — so many other lunchbox staples haven't tasted good in years. I don't know if the recipes changed or if my taste buds did. I still love other sweets." undefined 10."Baked goods. I love them, but they don't love me back. It's like baked goods suck the life out of me, drain me of every ounce of energy. Everything else I didn't mind — red meat was never a big thing for me. I stopped drinking nine years ago as I'd had enough of hangovers. I always liked vegetables and was vegetarian for 15 years, so eating more plant-based made it easy not to feel like I had to give up anything. But baked goods, man…" undefined 11."Buffalo sauce." undefined Related: "It's Delicious, Easy, And Cheap!": People Are Sharing The Inexpensive Meals They Actually Love 12."The gluten caught up to me a couple of years ago and started sending me to the hospital. I thought it was dairy at first, but nope — just wheat (thank god). Annoying, but it's led to a healthier diet overall for me." undefined 13."Gummies. If I have more than three Fuzzy Peaches, it's bad news." undefined 14."Eggs. Had food poisoning symptoms for a year and a half. Became really anemic and weak. Did every GI test and everything was fine. It wasn't until I took a food sensitivity test to see what to start eliminating that I got better." undefined 15."My family has a history of diabetes and acid reflux, so pretty much all the fun stuff." —u/NeinRegrets 16."Pop-Tarts and sugary breakfast cereals. Loved them in my 20s, would go through phases where I'd eat them for a month or two out of the year in my 30s. In my 40s, I can't. They don't taste as good as they used to and I feel like trash the rest of the day." undefined 17."I grew up in the Southern US. Love spicy food with all my heart. Now, if I have one spicy thing every four months, I'll regret it for twice as long." undefined 18."Funny story — yesterday, my husband came home with a Slim Jim and I said, 'Hey, did you get this for me? You can't have these anymore because of your tummy troubles.' His facial expression rapidly displayed all the stages of grief." undefined 19."Chips. But specifically Doritos. I used to have a bad habit of eating an entire bag in one sitting and then tossing and turning in bed with indigestion later." undefined 20."Mine is sugar in any detectable quantity. High fructose corn syrup especially kills me. I've even been tested for diabetes and insulin resistance due to how badly sugar affects me. Turns out I metabolize sugar too well, and then it messes up the equilibrium, leaving me with not enough sugar." undefined 21."Fish — which is really, really sad, as I grew up in Taiwan and ate a ton of it growing up. I have an allergy now, and can't even touch it without feeling like death is running through me." undefined 22."Pasta dishes." undefined 23."I'm 33, with IBS and GERD. I've given up leafy vegetables, beans, beef, pork, onions, and peppers. I've also developed an egg allergy in my old, old age, so anything delicious is out. I'm surviving on turkey and fruit most weeks." undefined Well, getting older might mean saying goodbye to cheese, but at least we all seem to be in this together.
