Here are some other sources for dessert-like foods, some of which might 
fit your needs. Master Cariadoc often offers small nibbles to those 
participating in his bardic fires at Pennsic so there are various 
Middle Eastern tidbits that might also serve your needs.
These are in the FOOD-SWEETS section of the Florilegium:
