What Are The Best Midnight Munchies?

One of the best known effects of marijuana is the spike in appetite, better known as “the munchies.” The term munchies comes from Charles T. Tart’s famous 1971 study, “On Being Stoned,” where 150 cannabis users were observed and their cravings for sweets were noted by researchers.

If someone “gets the munchies,” they often suddenly feel a strong desire to eat a snack or something sweet, especially when they have smoked a joint or eaten edibles.

Do you regularly find yourself craving a late night snack?

The Midnight Munchies refers to that feeling of overwhelming snack attack that often hits your belly between 10pm and 3am.

Whether you’re a nighthawk who gets crispy and crunchy cravings in the dark, or a stoner with a penchant for cooking gourmet each 420 holiday, the world’s best munchies are worth taste testing.

Travel In Search Of The Best Stoner Snacks for 420

As a professional food and travel writer I’ve had the opportunity to travel to over 80 countries.

I once wrote about the World’s Best Drunk Foods, and today I’ve been tasked at scanning the world’s best restaurant menus to showcase a truly global take on the best stoner snacks.

I want to dispel the myth that cannabis users and the late night Midnight Munchies crowd have basic cooking abilities. For years “best munchies lists” have described recipes that require the absolute bare minimum effort. I’m talking about microwave popcorn, an entire bag of candy eaten in one sitting and apples dipped in peanut butter.

The typical munchies menu features westernized snacks but I really do think you should let cannabis expand your global footprint by taking a sensory trip to taste unique regional dishes from India, Thailand, Mexico, Germany, Italy and beyond!

If you’re a globetrotting munchies enthusiast with culinary tourist listed as a special skill on your Linkedin profile you know what I mean. Some of the best stoner snacks include Indian street food, spicy Thai snacks, cheesy Italian pasta and sticky and sweet Korean chicken wings.

While the best munchies are often found on your dieticians naughty list, we’ve also included plenty of satisfying recipes that are healthy, vegan and vegetarian friendly.

Serving The Best Munchies Food Menu

Looking to create the ultimate Midnight Munchies menu?

The best stoner snacks do not follow a specific set of rules. Satisfying Midnight Munchies can include breakfast for dinner (pancakes or waffles at 2am?), decadent desserts, spicy stir fries and plenty of crispy and crunchy deep fried appetizers.

What do the best munchies food items all have in common? The dishes often feature big flavour and contrasting textures.

Best Munchies Menu Food Rules

  • Do not let the time of day you’re eating limit your munchies menu. Enjoy a stack of pancakes at midnight or leftover pizza or Thai takeout noodles for breakfast.
  • The best stoner snacks are typically crunchy and crispy. The iconic 420 mouthfeel satisfies the muscles in your jaw. We suggest striking soup off your munchies menu but creamy dips dunked with crispy nachos or crunchy pita chips is bliss.
  • When composing a menu think about contrasting flavours like sweet, salty, sour and spicy. Dishes like Pad Thai are a wildly popular Midnight Munchies menu item because they include chewy noodles tossed in a spicy and sour tamarind sauce topped with crunchy peanuts and beat sprouts. A spritz of fresh lime gives the dish a desirable acidic zing!
