The 2024 Paris Olympics has been nothing short of entertaining with some of the best moments including Simone Biles winning gold and performing a Reputation floor routine in addition to all of the musicians attending in their Team USA gear. Out of all the jaw-dropping performances though, a new star has captured both TikTok and the Olympian’s attention: the Olympic Village chocolate muffin.
While fueling up in between Olympic trials, athletes have become obsessed with a double chocolate muffin — especially Norwegian Olympic swimmer Henrik Christiansen who originally brought attention to the delectable treat. In a TikTok that now has more than 10 million views, the athlete can be seen swooning over the muffin, which has a chocolate base with chocolate chips and what appears to be a gooey center.
