64 best food, snacks, munchies for the ultimate March Madness feast

Cannoli: In case you haven’t noticed, Italian cuisine is always a great choice on this list. Any sweets list would not be complete without cannolis, the signature Italian dessert item.

Brownies: A chocolate brownie can satisfy pretty much any sweet tooth out there. It is also a great comfort item if your school bows out in the final window of games for the day.

Ice Cream: This classic dessert item is great for its convenience, but is best deployed if you’re looking to cry yourself to sleep after three quarters of your Final Four went out by the end of the first round.

Rice Krispies Treats: Snap, crackle, and pop your way through late night hoops viewing with a batch of Rice Krispies treats. You get bonus points if you prepare yours with sprinkles representing your school colors.

Edible Cookie Dough: Cookie dough is making a huge push in the dessert space, so you’ll look like a huge trendsetter if you serve edible cookie dough at your March Madness bash. Be sure to have an appropriate cookie to use for dipping, such as Nilla Wafers.

Apple Pie: Nothing is more American than apple pie, so why not have some at your March Madness party? A slice of apple pie is always a crowd pleaser, so be sure you have it available as part of your spread.

S’mores: The blend of chocolate, graham crackers, and marshmallows is a no-lose option when it comes to desserts. After you’re done grilling your hot dogs you can use the open flame to toast those marshmallows.

Cheesecake: Another traditional Italian classic, a good slice of cheesecake is a fantastic way to end a long day of basketball viewing. Whether you get one of the many varieties available from The Cheesecake Factory or stop by your local bakery, picking a good cheesecake will make you stand out from the rest.
