The portion size matters here. Each cup contains exactly enough for one satisfying dessert serving without tempting you to overeat or leaving partial servings that dry out in the refrigerator.

  • Price: $4.49

This beautiful Italian dessert comes in a pack of two and will perk you up, partly because it’s delicious, and partly because it comes with coffee. With a 2-pack of Affogatos in your freezer, you’ll feel like you're in Rome with authentic rather than artificial flavors, reminiscent of gelato shops all over the world.

  • Price: $5.49

The dark chocolate-covered caramels layer a lightly salted, vanilla-tinged caramel inside a full-flavored dark chocolate coating. The combination plays off contrasting flavors: bitter chocolate elements bring out vanilla notes in the caramel, while the sweet and salty caramel heightens the chocolate's subtle fruity undertones.

These work beautifully on dessert boards, chopped over vanilla ice cream or simply enjoyed straight from the package. When you’re an adult, you don’t need an occasion or good behavior to get candy.
