Late Night Snack(s)

It's amazing isn't it that when people start talking about food you suddenly develop a taste for something sweet, I have only just eaten my tea and after reading your discussion started to crave something sweet, I blame you LOL! But yes late at night I always peckish, but what I do is eat fruit because that provides the sugar and it's not high in calories, because if I started eating sweets, biscuits and cakes I would be very very fat as I put on weight so easily. But I'll have a coffee if you are making one Grandpa Bob!

That really sounds good about now! No, I don't do too much baking, since I am rarely home, and if I am home, I sure don't want to do any baking! Glad you were able to put your free ware to use!

Thats when I usually cook sweets when I get the urge and theres nothing in the house.LOL Did you save me some?

Late night snacks are my big downfall and I tend to grab whatever I can when the urge hits me. I don't bake anything late at night but I'm lucky my 16 year old does and ummmm we happen to have Hershey's Mini Kisses brownies in the pantry now - I'm really hoping he'll spot them and do the work then when I smell em Mom will come running :)

I am always up late making the toffee that I sell, so if I get the urge for some sugar I just munch on some of it or the many other sweet treats I keep in the house. I made peanut brittle the other day, so I have a piece of that I am munching on right now.

I usually have late night snacks such as cakes, cookies, dim sun etc., and I like baking the cakes myself which gives me a lot of fun, but I'm also worried about my weight~

Wow wow, now I am drooling. I want some lol. And sometimes I do get those cravings but the problem is, I can't give into it for a few reasons. One being, eating something very high in calories late at night especially would not be good for my weight loss. Secondly, I suffer from sleep disorders. That would be the worst possible thing for me to eat late at night if I want to get a good rest which I always do. If I wanted it, I would save it for a treat one day of the week earlier in the day. But... I still want some LOL

Thats funny guess what I made last night........yep brownies. Great minds think alike.

I love late night snacks.. some of my fav snacks, are chips with sauce.. and last night.. I had brownies with my friends! it was so great!

When I bake, it is at night. I cannot stand baking during the day. I think it because my kitchen is less *busy* at night. I do the -I want and I bake thing. A couple of weeks ago I made a batch of cookies. They were delicious. It is a really simple recipe that I use. Cake Mix Bar Cookies 1 each cake mix 1 each egg 1/2 cup vegetable oil 1/4 cup water 6 ounces chocolate chips Directions Mix first 4 ingredients in a bowl until almost all the lumps are gone. Add the chocolate chips. Bake in a greased 9 X 13 pan at 350 degrees F for 25 minutes. Cool and cut into squares. Also may want to try butterscotch chips, or nuts for variety. I like easy baking lately. I also use an 11x7 pan and it makes them *real* thick and yummy. Now, I have to find my cake mix.................LOL

LOL! I think this is hilarious because here I'm the queen of the late night carvings. There was one night I got up at 1 a.m. and ate an entire jar of olives. The a few months ago I was watching tv and it was almost midnight and I had a craving for these cut out cookies that I usually only bake at Christmas. I ended up staing up until after 3 a.m. baking them just so I could have a few. And now that I see this you have me craving brownies, haha. Thanks a lot,LOL!~D

I certainly do have those cravings Grandpa Bob. I always have some chocolate chip cookies, chocolates, ice cream and some cakes at home. It's really a habit of mine to eat some sweets late at night. I even eat milk, the powdered and condense one because its so sweet. Though I don't make them but they satisfy my cravings just the same. There was a time that I was crazy with super moist chocolate cake that I make them myself. But I do longer do that because its just too loaded and it seemed that I couldn't contro myself with them around that I just keep on going back for more. I gained so much weight that I really had to stop and settle for those little bites of cookies and chocolates.

Hi Grandpa Bob,:) You have just made me so hungry for brownies here! I 'never' bake anymore, but used to do so when I was quite a bit younger. This task has fallen to my daughter now, and she loves to do it, but seldom has the time. I'd go for some 'good' store bought brownies now, but I can't get out to get them. Oh well, I can always dream, or better still, maybe you could send me some.

Sometimes we have treats on hand and other times we bake if I can be bothered.

I used to get that late night sweet craving. I don't much anymore, thank goodness. It's a real weight gainer for sure! I am not sure what Hersheys Mini Kisses brownies are, but they sure sound like I would love them.

Yup looks yummy to me. I was once a sweet tooth myself but then I reformed myslef already since I became a diabetic. Now I am encouraged to eat but in small quantities only and avoid those sweet food. But I do miss those things too but then I have to be careful nowadays.

They look very yummy! I do get a craving for sweets sometimes when I stay up too late. They say it's your body asking for something to give it energy. I don't bake late at night...I kind of plan what I am going to bake ahead of time. Sunday night I did bake oatmeal raisin cookies because I wanted to use up some raisins I had. But once in a great while I do bake spontaneously...usually brownies.

Hello dear Grandpa Bob. I am sure that you are a very good chef at home because you can make so delicious and tasty food as snacks. I would like to taste some of the snacks you make. lol. Well, I usually drink some orange juice with some snacks if I get hungry at night before going to bed. Sometimes but very seldom I cook some noodles to eat to get rid of the hunger coming at me. I also love sweets as I have a sweet tooth. hehe

Ohh I am a chocolate, cake, cookie, candy, sweets of all kind fanatic! I bake or create whenever the urge hits...one easy creation is to make your favorite cupcakes, and right before you stick them in the oven, push an opened mini reese's peanut butter cup in the middle of each...you'll have cupcakes with a little surprise in them...plus, have you ever tried nutella? it's available in almost any supermarket by the peanut butter, and it's great for dipping pretzels in, spreading on bread or croissants, and drizzling over cupcakes/cakes/brownies/cookies!! it's a chocolate-hazelnut mix and it's deee-licious!

For my favorite late night snack, I love brownies. Especially fudge brownies. I also love chocolate peanut butter brownies. Or just peanut butter brownies. See if I can search online for recipes for them. Hey, try out those websites: www.hersheys.com and www.reeses.com. I would really love to make homemade brownies. And I bet they all will come out fantastic from the power of my hands. For ingredients, yeah, I would have to use cocoa powder and peanut butter. Don't forget, the kind of chocolate I love is pure extra dark, dark chocolate.
