These aren't mine, but they're part of a list posted on my office wall that brings me joy every time I read it:

Thwap - To beat.

Splodge - To drop and smear as best and neatly as one can...for example spreading ricotta for lasagna.

Spoon Fludge - Runny fudge, best scooped up and eaten with a spoon.

Fludge Crunch - Hard fudge, best crumbled into or over ice cream.
