Girl, let me tell you about this absolutely divine midnight snack that’ll have you doing the happy dance in your kitchen at 2 AM! As a Florida native, I’ve perfected what I call the “Tropical Midnight Crunch Toast” – it’s like a vacation for your taste buds when those late-night cravings hit!
Y’all, this isn’t your basic avocado toast (though we love that too!). This is a sweet-and-salty piece of heaven that combines everything we love about the Sunshine State.
Here’s what you’ll need (trust me on this):
– 2 thick slices of brioche bread
– 4 tablespoons cream cheese
– 1 ripe Florida mango
– 2 tablespoons honey
– Crushed macadamia nuts
– A pinch of sea salt
– Optional: coconut flakes (because why not?)
Now, let me walk you through this magical creation:
1. First, toast that brioche until it’s golden brown. You want it crispy on the outside but still soft and fluffy inside – kinda like how we Floridians like our beach days: warm and perfect!
1. While it’s still warm (this is crucial, honey!), spread that cream cheese generously. Don’t be shy – we’re not counting calories at midnight! 😉

1. Now, slice that mango into thin strips. Pro tip: Florida mangoes are absolutely perfect for this, but any ripe mango will do. Layer those sweet babies on top of the cream cheese.
1. Drizzle honey over everything like you’re creating edible art. Then sprinkle those crushed macadamia nuts and a tiny pinch of sea salt – trust me, this sweet-salty combo is everything!
1. If you’re feeling extra tropical (and you should), add some coconut flakes. It’s like a little beach vacation in every bite!
The result? A snack that’s creamy, crunchy, sweet, and just a touch salty. It’s literally impossible to eat this without making “mmm” sounds – I’ve tried, and I’ve failed every single time!
This is perfect for those nights when you’re binge-watching your favorite show or just can’t sleep because you’re scrolling through social media (we’ve all been there, right?).
