Midnight Snack Time

I am in search of the best midnight snack EVER. I am up late, doing homework, and I just can't find some that will "hit the spot" so to speak. I ended up with a glass of chocolate milk. But it just isn't doing it for me. What do you crave in the middle of the night, that completely, and totally hits the spot for you? I'm not talking about a full meal. Just something simple, to help sooth those craveings.

It really depends on what I'm craving. If it's something sweet, then I'll eat a chocolate bar. If it's something salty, I'll have chips. If it's something sweet and salty but smooth, I'll have a big spoonful of smooth peanut butter. If it's sweet, salty and crunchy, I'll have a bowl of corn with soy sauce. If I need something sweet and cold, I'll have ice cream. The list can go on and on and on. As you may be able to tell, I get a lot of cravings. :) What kind of taste are you craving?

See.. I don't know. It's one of those times where I'll just know when I see it or hear it. Normally, I'll eat a spoonful or two of ice cream, or maybe even pudding and be completely satisfied. Tonight, is just a difficult night. lol.

Chocolate milk is usually good, warm in the winter months and cold in summer. Accompanied by some plain biscuits, as otherwise it is too rich! In Spain they add Maicena (corn starch) to the warm milk and they end up with a nice chocolaty milk, almost like a pudding! Very good for a cold night!

I hate when that happens! And it's always late at night for me, too, when I get a craving for something but I don't know what. Sometimes I'll end up with a piece of cheese and some baloney or pepperoni if I have it or sometimes it will be a granola bar or some cereal. But sometimes, like you, I won't have the first idea what I want and nothing I think of hits the spot. Annie

I eat all sorts of things as a midnight snack. Sometimes I will eat a container of yogurt or a piece of string cheese if I am trying to be good. Other times I will grab some ice cream or some chips. Most often though I grab a piece or two of beef jerky.

What I like is bread. I like Nature's Own Butterbread. I have it plain.When I want something sweet I use it to make cinnamon toast.It isn't too heavy or lite. And you can eat it and go right to sleep if you all of a sudden find you are really tired.

Mmm, I love cinnamon toast. I sometimes will find a potato bread dinner roll, and just eat one of those and be completely happy. Last night though, I just could find what I was hungry for.

I hate it when you are hungry but you don't know what you are hungry for.

hello, i usually have cravings for chocolates at night (cadbury fruit and nuts) but most of the time i end up eating cookies and milk, my hubby and i usually get up and share a glass of milk and some cookies, yum! it sure is tasty and somehow helps us sleep afterwards. i always make sure that we have cookies and milk available at the fridge just in case the cravings kick in. have a good one!

I hardly ever inulge in midnight snacks because the kitchen where I live has a number of large roaches that move around during the night. I've spoken to my landlord about this and he says they don't bother him. So much for that. Really tasty munches in the night are a bit of cheese together with a bit of bacon or, if possible, a bit of shrimp. Salty potatoe chips are also good. Then there's a cheese sandwich with a taste of pepper or toasted bread with tuna laced with Italian dressing. I can't think of any more of these right now but you can try them and see how they go. Good Luck !

I think a midnight 'food' craving is best satiated by something full of carbohydrates and fat!!Items like Potato Wafers would do the trick.French Fries too are best.These would also induce sleep so you won't feel hunger as you would soon fall asleep!!

Hey lucky charm, my husband does that, you know on my repeated suggestions to have proper supper, he has less ok. And in the middle of the night he starts asking me to give him snacks. As such he does'nt trouble me, he tries to serve himself. I rarely eat because, i will have brushed my teeth and i don't think food will get digested in the night, if we just eat and sleep! Happy Mylotting!

Yes I always have Midnight snacks. I, sometimes wake up in the Midnights and go in search of some snacks. Then I turn on the television set and have the Snacks. After a while, I go back to sleep. Its better to maintain a time gap between the time we go to sleep and the time we had our snack in order to avoid digestion problems.

I've usually got my favourite chocolate bar in the fridge, just waiting for those cravings. Most times, it will be a King sized Cherry Ripe. I've also got chocolate coated biscuits in the fridge, just in case. As long as it is something with chocolate on it, that usually satisfies my craving.

Maybe a scoop of chocolate icecream. Not good for my diet. But who are we fooling. I'm not on a diet after midnight. I'm like that Mogwai from Gremlins that you must never feed after midnight. Or, else i will explode!

I crave different things at different times. There are times when I crave something and I just keep eating it for a week or more. Right now I am really into Pringles sour cream and onion.

Mine is potato chips, chocolate, ice cream and nuts. All very unhealthy, but they really take care of that midnight craving!
