childhood treat
Cookie after school
A childhood treat is food, entertainment, or small pleasure associated with being young—candy, cartoons, trips to the ice cream shop.
Adults revisit childhood treats for nostalgia: I bought myself some Fruit Roll-Ups as a childhood treat.
The phrase can also describe non-food indulgences remembered fondly from early years: Staying up past bedtime was a rare childhood treat.
