Suggest something I can drop off at care home

DM (89) has been in care home 5 years with advanced dementia and no longer knows my name. Sad
She loves her sweet treats and since March I have been dropping off either chocolate sponge, a teal loaf sliced with butter or fairy cakes. But I’m getting bored rotating these - it’s probably because that’s all I know and can guarantee they taste ok. Can someone suggest some easy and quick alternatives please? DM deserves a change.

@PokemonTrainerRed do you have a decent recipe?
@Fivemoreminutes1 and fir the tiffin?
She used to like tiffin but her parkins were always chewy. Mine would be chewier. Will try these two things and see how I get on. Thank you

Here’s the tiffin recipe www.bbcgoodfood.com/recipes/chocolate-tiffin
Also remembered that my DM loves scones and they’re pretty easy to make.
