30 Nostalgic Childhood Foods

If your childhood was anything like mine, there was a lot of sugar, cheese, and ranch. And of course, endless butterflies and happiness. Enjoy this collection of 35 nostalgic childhood foods, and I guarantee you snacked on at least one of these items growing up (or still today).

1. Lucky Charms Cereal
2. Hot Fudge Sundae Pop Tarts: This was my most cherished pop tart flavor and I often paired it with chocolate milk or hot chocolate- the more sugar the better.Collection: http://ot-foodspotting-production.s3.amazonaws.com/reviews/5475932/thumb…
3. Red Hot Dogs: For some reason, I particularly recall bright red meat opposed to the normal chewy brown.
4. SpongeBob Kraft Mac and Cheese: If it wasn’t spongebob themed it just didn’t taste the same.Collection: https://www.dailybreak.com/break/definitive-ranking-of-mac-n-cheese-shapes
5. Twinkies
6. Ding Dongs Collection: https://www.thesugarshack.com.au/product/hostess-chocolate-fudge-ding-do…
7. Hostess Baby Donuts: Powdered and chocolate always found a way into my cupboard and heart.
8. Oven Pizza:  Plain old cheese pizza.
9. Koolaid Jammers: The kind that twist off and spill all over newly washed shirts.
10. Lunchables
11. Kids Cuisine: I vividly remember how the spaghetti sauce never heated all the way, and how rich and chocolatey  the brownie was.Collection: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LzzJ-7SYOQU
12. Grilled cheese: On white-wonder bread.
13. Cheese wraps: A literal tortilla shell heated in the microwave with a slice of American cheese, then wrapped tightly.

16. So Much Ranch: Ranch made childhood and growing up more bearable.
17. Corn dogs: Mini, or regular size (my mom was always afraid I would choke on the stick though?!)

19. Rice Krispies and sugar: I couldn’t stand to eat plain cereal, so my grandma taught me to literally take a spoonful of white table sugar and sprinkle it into my morning cereal!

21. Ice Cream Sandwiches: Snacked on these poolside in the summertime.
22. Chef Boyardee: The canned ravioli was the perfect lunch.
23. Individual cheese packs: I ate straight up cheese squares before I ventured to cheese sticks, but had to remember to remove the plastic wrap
24. Microwave S’mores: All through the winter, my mom would stick a marshmallow and some chocolate in the microwave until it enlarged and fluffed out over the graham crackers.
25. Trix Yogurt: The two-tone cup yogurt, green and pink were my favorites.
26. Gogurts: Squeezeable yogurt from a plastic tube.
27. Fruit Roll Ups: These stuck to the roof of your mouth like glue.

29. Bubble Gum
30. Toaster Strudels: There never seemed to be enough frosting for my liking, and the hot cherry syrup inside always burned my tongue.Collection: http://sunshinefoodmarket.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/Pillsbury-toast…
