My mom loves dessert. Honestly, I think every mom loves that sweet indulgence, that moment of deliciousness.

Sometimes, it’s only a moment.

Then, the kids sniff out the sugar, find mom hiding in the closet, and start asking for a treat, a hug, a missing toy … you know how it goes.

So when you’re thinking of what to give the mom in your life for her special day this year, think of gifting her some really tasty treats that makes her moment of indulgence that much more enjoyable.

A box of chocolate covered fruit from Edible Arrangements.

Chocolate-Dipped Fruit

It’s possible for you to make chocolate-dipped fruit at home. People try all. the. time.

But I’m going to be very honest with you. Mom wants you to order her some fruit that has been dipped by a professional. And she wants you to order enough that she could possible share if someone asked for a piece, but she doesn’t want anyone to ask for a piece.

And I know what you’re thinking. “I can make it for less than it costs to order it.” Sure, you could. Maybe. Or you could purchase this Mother’s Day Chocolate-Covered Treats & Gourmet Gifts offer from Groupon and save a little bit on mom’s chocolate-covered fruit delivery.

That way, everyone’s happy.

Two slices of apple pie on parchment paper on a metal tray.

Apple Pie Baked In A Paper Bag from The Elegant Farmer

We tried the Apple Pie Baked In A Paper Bag from The Elegant Farmer a few Thanksgivings ago and I have been thinking about it ever since. And I don’t even like apple pie, so that should tell you something.

So absolutely, without a doubt, order this pie as a gift for mom for Mother’s Day.

It has a crisp and cookie-light crust, a crumbly crust with the tastiest sweet drizzle coating, and sweet but tart apple pieces inside. Even reheated, the apple pie was moist and incredible. And I know, people hate the word moist. But you will not hate this pie. Not one bit.

What you’ll hate is that you will eat it every night until it’s gone and when it’s gone … it’s gone. You. Mom. Whoever. Order two.

A smash heart on a cutting board with a woman holding a mallet next to it.

Sugar Plum’s Smash Heart

Oh my gosh. Sugar Plum’s Smart Heart is delicious. My mom modeled it, smashed it, and then (just like a good mom) shared it with her loving daughter. It’s so good.

The 1-pound chocolate heart is filled with pretzels, cookies, and potato chips, then topped with a chocolate drizzle and chocolate-coated candies. It sounds like a lot, but it’s the perfect balance.

Smash treats are really popular right now. And although it does come with a mallet, this Smash Heart doesn’t really shatter like the smash treats you’re used to. It took my dad a lot of perseverance, and a lot of flying chocolate-coated candies, to actually get part of it to crack in the way you’d think according to the name.

But luckily, Sugar Plum’s Smash Heart is really soft and pieces of this delicious chocolate treat break off easily.

We all loved it. Even Pete, who doesn’t have a sweet tooth. So we will definitely be ordering these for future holidays and celebrations.

Three bags of Old Salt Coffee.

Fancy Bagged Coffee

We drink a lot of coffee. I think most people drink a lot of coffee. Especially moms. Do moms try to drink a hot cup of coffee every morning? Yes. Do they get to? No. Usually it’s cold because someone needs breakfast, someone needs to find their shoe, someone is late and missing the bus.

So a coffee that tastes good hot and cold is a must.

And sure, maybe a bag of ground coffee doesn’t feel like an adequate Mother’s Day gift. So if you need to make this feel more “gifty” for mom, pick up one of these Funny Coffee Mugs to go with it.

A Funky Chunky popcorn gift set.

Funky Chunky’s Supreme Box

If mom has a hard time choosing between salty and sweet, Funky Chunky’s Supreme Box is the perfect gift. The box is filled a variety of chocolate covered salty snacks, all of which are guaranteed to please your mom.

The box comes with five different treats: Sea Salt Caramel Popcorn, Nutty Choco Pop, Peanut Butter Cup, Chip Zel Pop, and Chocolate Pretzel. Three of the five items come in really nice hard plastic containers, which make them really portable. The containers are also really quiet, so mom can sneak into the kitchen and eat some without drawing a crowd.

Of the five, our favorite was the Chip Zel Pop. It’s a sweet popcorn, pretzel sticks, and potato chip pieces topped with a chocolate drizzle. Each bite is really sweet and you only need a little to satisfy your sugar craving. Which is good if mom needs to share.

A woman holding a French macaroon.

Marche de Macaroons

It has been a few years since we went on a trip to Hilton Head Island where we ate Marche de Macaroons. And every time I’ve had a macaroon since, I’ve compared it to those macaroons.

Luckily for you, you don’t have to travel all the way to South Carolina to get some for mom. You can order them online.

My absolute favorite is the Banana Foster, which is nuts because I generally don’t love anything that’s not chocolate or chocolate flavored. But these are banana flavored meringue shells, rimmed in salted caramel buttercream, filled with liquid caramel and a caramel in the center, then topped with banana chips.

These are my gold standard of macaroons, and you can order them for mom in a gold gift box. I don’t think that’s a coincidence.

Brix chocolate for wine.

Brix Chocolate For Wine

If my grandma was still alive, I would definitely be ordering her some Brix Chocolate for Wine for her Mother’s Day gift. I ordered a bunch for her, she ordered a bunch for herself and for gifts, and Brix actually sent her a huge bag once as a treat. To say she was obsessed is an understatement.

You can pair this chocolate wine, as the name implies, or just enjoy it on its own. The bricks it comes in (hence the name) are meant to be cut into pieces, but my grandma would just eat it like a huge 4 oz. chocolate bar. “If you chop it, you’re going to waste the crumbs,” she told me once.

The Brix Chocolate Collection comes with four variants: Extra Dark (70 % Cacao), Medium Dark (60 % Cacao), Smooth Dark (54 % Cacao), and Milk (46 % Cacao). The Smooth Dark was my grandma’s favorite. Your mom will get the chance to try all four and choose her favorite.

A tea bag with a tag that says Heavenly Tea on it on a wooden coaster with a yellow bag behind it.

Heavenly Tea Leaves Tea

Pete and I have tea time at night, which is a really nice way to unwind before bed. And, if mom has spent the day working and cooking and cleaning and chasing littles around when they don’t want to get into the bath, well, she needs to unwind too.

Lately, we’ve been drinking Heavenly Tea Leaves’ lemon ginger tea, which is delicious. It’s been really warm here, so I’ve been brewing it, adding a tiny sprinkle of sugar, and then adding ice, which melts to make a really great iced tea.

So if you were thinking hot deal isn’t really a good gift for Mother’s Day, which happens in warm May annually, now you’re thinking about iced tea and realize this is a great idea.

A gift box filled with olive oil, vinegar, salt, mustard, and other cooking ingredients.

Dress for Success Gift Basket from Seasons

We had a neighbor who used to come to our parties with ingredients. Instead of bringing a finished dish, as people do, he would bring raw fish. And raw chicken. And raw corn on the cob. Totally random every time. And so, we would have to figure out how to season and cook his offering while he enjoyed the party.

So part of me is like, “Mom probably wants a meal, not ingredients for a gift.” But, if you’re shopping for a mom who likes to cook, she’ll love this Dress for Success Gift Basket from Seasons.

It comes with an infused olive oil and a white vinegar (perfect for easy salad dressing), dijon mustard (which we add to marinades when we’re feeling fancy), honey (which, yes please), fleur de sel premium salt (a finishing salt that is probably Pete’s favorite salt ever), and pepe e aglio seasoning.

If mom loves to cook, she’ll absolutely love this.

A  Blueberry Lemon Streusel cookie on parchment paper from Appalacia Cookie Co in Boone, NC.

Appalachia Cookie Company Cookies

A few years ago, I went to Boone, NC with my cousin. As we were sitting in the hotel room, I was scrolling social media and Appalachia Cookie Company popped up. I love sweets, so we drove the mile or so from our hotel to check it out.

On the register, it says there’s a 20 to 25 minute wait because the cookies are baked fresh.

A couple was waiting and I asked them if it was worth it. “Yes,” the woman said. “I had a cookie from here 10 years ago and haven’t stopped thinking about it, so I had to bring him here.”

My cousin and I waited and you guys, it was the best cookie I’ve had in my life. And I haven’t stopped thinking about it … 2.5 years later.

You don’t have to go all the way to Boone to get these for mom. You can order them online. And I highly suggest you do.

I think the smash heart would be my favorite, but the box of chocolate-covered salty treats comes up next. These are all great.
