munchies

Late-night food urge

The munchies are a craving for snack food, especially the intense hunger that follows marijuana use: I got the munchies and ate an entire bag of chips.

The word also refers to the snacks themselves: We need to pick up some munchies for the party.

Both senses are informal.
