Here are some of my favorite fun, affordable, and easy late night snack ideas that college kids should try. These are perfect for dorm life or quick roommate/bestie runs to the convenience store.
Sweet Snacks
- Microwave Mug Cake – mix cake mix + water/milk in a mug, microwave 1–2 mins.
- Frozen Grapes or Berries – refreshing, crunchy, and healthier than candy.
- Trail Mix Remix – combine cereal, pretzels, M&Ms, and nuts.
- Ice Cream + Cookie Dough – straight from the tub or as a sundae.
- Candy + Popcorn Mix – M&Ms, Reese’s Pieces, or gummy bears mixed with buttery popcorn- so tasty.
Savory Snacks
- Microwave Nachos – tortilla chips + cheese = yummmyyy
- Bagel Pizza – bagel + tomato sauce + cheese, microwave or toast until melted.
- Cheesy Garlic Bread – bread + butter + garlic powder + shredded cheese, microwave
Grab-and-Go Dorm Staples
- String Cheese + Crackers – you can never go wrong
- Hummus with Pretzels or Veggies – maybe both if you’re feeling up to it!
- Granola bars or protein bars – whatever kind you like!
