We’ve all been there.
It’s 2AM, everyone in the house is asleep, and you’re starving. It’s a bad case of the vegan munchies!
WhenI’m hit with the munchies,all inhibitions are lost.
- Handfuls of almonds,
- Spoonfuls of peanut butter, and
- Chocolate sauce drizzled straight into themouth
Sound familiar? We don’t judge!🙊
With more and more states legalizing medical/recreational marijuana, there’s a growing epidemic of munchies ravaging even the most well-stocked vegan kitchen.
Worst of all?
I’ve gotten the mad munchies without smoking!
This conditioncan affect smokers and non-smokers alike!
My bestdefense? Stay ahead of the cravings!

All joking aside, February is National Snack Food Month! This got me thinking about my favorite snack recipes… dips, spreads, finger-foods, and (most of all!) desserts.
