Frozen Key-Lime Pie at 2 Dips Ice Cream

Part pie, part Popsicle, all delicious. This treat—a wedge of icy Key-lime pie encased in a dark-chocolate shell—is everything we want after a day in the sun.

209 E. Savannah Rd., Lewes; 302-645-2347

Ooey Gooey at Notting Hill Coffee Roastery

You’ll need a stack of napkins to take down this nearly foot­ long braid of glazed dough, which tastes like a cross between a cinnamon bun, a doughnut, and challah bread.

The chocolatiest, butteriest, and most decadent fudge we found, with a ripple of soft marshmallow and plenty of chopped walnuts.
