"I love this!" ... or, phonetically, remark about the answer to each of the starred clues

Answer:

ITSADELIGHT

Hint:

Think of how you might excitedly describe a low-calorie treat—this phrase sounds just like what you’d say when something brings you pure joy.

Explanation:

This clue plays on two meanings at once. "I love this!" is a direct hint at the answer "ITSADELIGHT," since that phrase expresses enthusiasm. Phonetically, it also sounds like "it's a delight," which is a punny way to describe the answers to the starred clues—they’re all things that bring joy or are delightful in some way.
