June 16, 2011— -- Mini desserts are the latest trend to hit the food market. The bite-sized versions of favorite sweets offer you all the taste without all the calories and guilt, especially if you aren't looking for a huge snack that will leave you sluggish.

"Our research shows that customers are looking for that little something in the afternoon," Annie Young-Scrivner, global chief marketing officer for Seattle-based Starbucks, told the Associated Press in a recent article on mini desserts.

"They don't want it to be very big. They just want a couple of bites of something to complement their tea or espresso or other beverage."

So, "Good Morning America" took a bite out of the most popular ones and here's the roundup.
