There’s something about late-night eating that makes it all the better — these recipes are perfect for those impromptu get-togethers that happen way too often at this time of year.

1. Buffalo Chicken Dip
An American classic, this crowd-pleaser takes very little time to make, but everyone loves it equally.
This is just a classic. The recipe couldn’t be more straightforward — it’s just shredded chicken mixed with cream cheese and hot sauce. But it tastes fantastic, and unlike other recipes on this list, it is better to stand for a few hours before serving for the flavors to come together. Serve with tortilla chips or celery sticks and feel the accolades from your late-night guests.
2. Deviled Eggs
These are just low-calorie, high-protein, and low-fat delicious! Do you know anyone who doesn’t love deviled eggs? They’re easy to make and look great at late-night parties. Try one of our favorite recipes, which are lower in calories than other recipes yet still taste great.
3. Pork Rinds
Pork rinds are a crowd favorite at any party, and this time of the year is no exception! We like to make these but skip the frying part and have them as a bar snack instead.
4. Spinach Artichoke Dip
This dip is so tasty; seriously, you’d be hard-pressed to find someone who doesn’t like it.
5. Cheesecake Dip
This dip will never fail you. Everyone ALWAYS loves it! This recipe is straightforward and delicious…
6. Mexican Meatball Appetizer
The best thing about these is that they can be made ahead of time and refrigerated until ready to serve.
