The line includes [pie flavors like Key Lime Pie](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mini-cream-pies), Coco Loco Caramel and Mississippi Mud, as well as other varieties inspired by beloved [flavors of cake and cheesecake](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/g-dessert). These desserts, which come in at just over three ounces, can be found in packs of two, four and six. The single-serving jars are portable, stackable and they boast a longer shelf life than their traditionally baked counterparts.
