scrumptious

Mouth-wateringly good

Scrumptious means extremely delicious or delightful, typically describing food: These brownies are scrumptious.

The word carries a playful, enthusiastic tone—you're more likely to hear it from someone genuinely pleased than from a food critic.

It occasionally extends beyond food to anything delightful: What a scrumptious little cottage.
