Some sweets seem to have a habit of vanishing once the house gets quiet. These are the treats people sneak back for, long after dessert was supposedly finished. Easy to grab and impossible to forget, they turn into late-night favorites without any planning at all. One bite leads to another, and suddenly the container looks lighter than it did before. When something disappears before bedtime, it’s clearly earned its reputation.
