Mother's Day is just around the corner, and we're here to save the day for those readers who have foodie moms. Whether your mom loves to enjoy sweet or savory treats, it will be easy to find something she'll enjoy for her "me" time. Whether she's reading a good book or binge-watching her favorite show, something scrumptious to snack on is always a big hit.

We love to turn to celebs when it comes to recommendations for the best of everything, and that includes foodie items. From pretzels to ice cream, we have the scoop—pun intended! Order one celeb favorite—or all of them. If your mom is a self-proclaimed foodie, you're on the right page to find the absolute perfect treat to let her know she's the absolute best. Take a look at what some of our favorite A-listers love to enjoy.

1. Callie's Hot Little Biscuit

Dolly loves southern cooking, and she has a website, cookbooks, and baking mixes to prove it. One Dolly Parton-inspired gift that Mom's sweet tooth will love? A baking mix for homemade biscuits.

Scoop up one of Dolly's mixes, or opt for a box of 24 Strawberry Shortcake Biscuits from Callie's Hot Little Biscuit. ($45, Callie's Hot Little Biscuit). If you've been to Charleston, South Carolina, you know just how delightful these sweet little biscuits from Callie's are! The brand has many flavors to choose from, like Cheese & Chive, Cinnamon, Iced Blueberry, and more.

Callie's is that good—Oprah herself has been known to break out into a happy dance after tasting their biscuits!

2. Gourmet Chocolate-Covered Pretzels

Guy Fieri loves salted pretzels. So much so, he built "The Awesome Pretzel Cart" with his dad. But Guy isn't the only one who loves the savory treat—we love them, too! After all, they're the ideal blend of salty and sweet.

Check out Harry & David's for pretzels and sweet/salty gift baskets to find just the right gift. Or, head over to Nuts.com for a box of pastel-hued chocolate-covered pretzels—the brand's Spring Pretzel Collection ($35, Nuts.com)—Mom is sure to enjoy.

3. The Essentials for Limoncello Spritzes

Sabrina Carpenter's go-to summer cocktail is the limoncello spritz, and we're already obsessed with this refreshing sip. Mom will be, too, when you gift her the essentials to make her own. Treat her to Pallini's Spritz Bundle (Limoncello Pallini, $46), complete with limoncello, a bedazzled bottle of Freixenet Prosecco, and a spritz glass. One sip, and she'll feel like she's been transported to the Amalfi Coast.

4. Decadent Chocolate Peanut Butter Cups

We knew Sabrina would have amazing taste when it came to a good snack.

"This is just like embarrassing, but I love chocolate," the singer shared with British Vogue as she held up Reese's Peanut Butter Cups—staples she always keeps in her purse. "When I'm on set, it'll be funny: every time I go back to my director's chair or seat, there's always just like 100 Reese's Peanut Butter Cups sitting in it because someone saw it at [craft services] and would get them for me, which is really nice."

Totally not embarrassing, Sabrina!

If your mom is also a fan of Reese's peanut butter cups, check out Crate Joy's Gourmet Peanut Butter Cups by Jessie's Nutty Cups. You can send a box of goodies or a subscription—literally a sweet gift that will keep on giving! Or, you can't go wrong with gifting Mom Gourmet Dark Chocolate Peanut Butter Cups ($70) from Compartes.

For another option, make Mom a gift box filled with Justin's Organic Dark Chocolate Peanut Butter Cups ($3, Target) and UNREAL's Dark Chocolate Peanut Butter Cups ($43 for six bags, UNREAL).

5. Cookies

Kate Hudson is typically a very healthy eater, but everyone needs to cheat a bit once in a while. After all, when it comes to food, cheating (or treating) occasionally helps make a healthy diet more sustainable! The star whips up her own cookies using oats, ground almonds, and a few other ingredients.

Treat Mom to a delightful 6 Count Assorted Cookie Tin from Milk Bar ($27), which comes with the brand's Compost, Cornflake Chocolate Chip Marshmallow, Confetti, Triple PB Cookie, Chocolate Chip N' Chunk, and Oatmeal Cream flavors. Or, gift Mom one of Milk Bar's iconic cakes, which happens to be Taylor Swift's fave!

6. Ice Cream

I scream, you scream, Bobby Flay screams for ice cream! The celeb chef said on one of his podcasts, Always Hungry With Bobby Flay and Sophie Flay, "I eat ice cream and gelato like it's my last meal."

Send Mom some delicious pints of dessert on you from Jeni's ($12). You can choose from a variety of mouthwatering flavors, like citrus glazed pound cake, sweet cream, green smoothie, or brown butter almond brittle. There are also gluten-free and dairy-free options. The only problem? It may be difficult to decide what (or how many) to send!
