Bethenny Frankel’s 2-Ingredient Midnight Snack Features a Childhood Favorite

There’s truly nothing more relatable than snacking. No matter if you’re reaching for a handful of chips or a bowl of cereal, we all snack in between meals, late at night, or 10 other times throughout the day. And everybody has that one guilty pleasure snack that they can’t resist—either because of the flavor or simply just the ease of making it—including our favorite celebs.

For country singer Tim McGraw, it’s a bowl of Cocoa Puffs; for actor Stanley Tucci, it’s toast with peanut butter, bananas, and honey; and for “Today” host Hoda Kotb, it’s a buttery Ritz cracker. What about for “Real Housewives”-star-turned-social-media-foodie Bethenny Frankel? It’s yogurt topped with a beloved childhood cereal.

“My late-night snack is: chocolate almond milk [yogurt with] Cap’n Crunch on top,” Frankel said in a TikTok.

In the video, Frankel adds a handful of Cap’n Crunch cereal to a cup of Silk Dark Chocolate Coconut Almondmilk Yogurt. While she doesn’t specify the Cap’n Crunch flavor, it doesn’t look like the plain OG—instead, it seems to be Cap’n Crunch’s Chocolate Caramel Crunch cereal, which features both chocolate and caramel pieces plus Cap’n Crunch’s iconic sweet golden pieces.

Frankel calls the cereal topping her “dessert’s dessert,” as the chocolatey, caramel Cap’n Crunch adds a crunchy, sweet layer to the decadent chocolate-coconut yogurt.

Frankel, who has upwards of 1.5 million followers on TikTok, has solidified herself as a food influencer on the platform. In 2022, she had a few recipes go viral—most notably her Hollywood Walk of Fame-worthy summer salad and her “best egg salad.” 

This year, Frankel has been very vocal about her love for, trending again, cottage cheese—even posting a TikTok, which garnered more than 1 million views, comparing the different cottage cheese brands. Spoiler alert: she says Friendship Dairies Cottage Cheese is the best.

Seeing as she founded SkinnyGirl, which sells low-calorie drinks, dressings, and preserves, it’s no surprise that Frankel loves protein-packed cottage cheese and dairy-free Silk yogurt.

Despite some of her, maybe questionable, food combos, Cap’n Crunch + chocolate yogurt seems like a real winner—and one that requires very little prep. What more could you ask for in a sweet late-night treat?
