1.  Olympic torch snacks

Fill ice cream cones with Cheetos or popcorn to represent the torch and flame.

There's enough sugar in these treats to fuel a marathon runner, but it's cool. You only eat them once every 4 years!

2.  Twinkie pommel horses

Not the healthiest snack on our list, these are too cute not to include! All you need is Twinkies, thick pretzel rods, and KitKats. Use melted chocolate to stick the pretzels onto a KitKat broken in half, then press a Twinkie on top.

3. Olympic Jell-o pool

Blue Jello makes a lovely pool, and when it's partially set up, you can use fruit-flavored O-shaped cereal (like Fruit Loops, or similar) to create lanes and favorite action figures as the swimmers.

4. Olympic ring fruit tray 

This is an easy and healthy hit with kids; simply ring paper plates with fruit that mimics the colors of the Olympic rings.

5. Soccer field cake

This is easy and feeds a crowd: Just frost a sheet cake the color of grass, and pipe on the field markings in white. Extra points (pun intended) if you add on these goals, balls, and players.

And you get a medal, and you get a medal...everyone gets tasty medals! Photo by Charlotte Blanton

6. Fruit leather and cookie Olympic medals

Use fruit-by-the-foot, Twizzlers (sorry, I will choose them over Red Vines any day!), or any other rope-shaped candy to make the ribbon part of the Olympic medal, and the medal itself is a round golden sandwich cookie.

7. Olympic rower snacks

Chef and nutritionist Ellie Krieger came up with these adorable rowers: make celery canoes filled with peanut butter. Then add grapes as rowers and long skinny pretzel sticks as oars!

 8. American flag cake

Root, root, root for the home team (USA!) with this super easy flag cake that takes no cooking and is fun for kids to help make. Watch our video here of how to make it with store-bought Angel food cake, whipped cream, strawberries, and blueberries. (Yes, you can make your own homemade rectangle cake, too.)

Heft these sweet treats right into your mouth!

9. Donut weights

Kids can assemble these weightlifter weights themselves. Just stick some mini chocolate-dipped donuts on either end of a pretzel stick!

10. Croissants

Toast the 2024 host city with a yummy French croissant. Oooh-la-la!
