I think there’s something special about late-night snacks. Hear me out: Any snack that you eat during the day is (to me) just…another snack. Elevenses, happy hour, whatever—you can always improve your daily average gustatory experience after those. But your late-night snack is ostensibly the last thing you’re going to eat before you go to sleep—your day’s culinary closing argument. You can’t pick just anything. A great late-night snack should be deeply satisfying and definitely couch-friendly. (Unless, of course, you have a tray so you can take a snack to bed.) Some of these recipes are easily made ahead, while the rest are quick and simple enough to throw together at any hour of the evening. Next time you’re prowling around the kitchen after dinner, consider one of these as a candidate for your late-night bite.
