I believe this is also referred to as “positive affect”. I really like and use the term exactly because, as you mention later, many people like to fantasize about and explore things that are normally associated with negative affect, so you can’t point to any specific source of positive affect to refer to positive affect.
Pragmatically, I think people will know what you mean more often with “yumminess” than “positive affect”, but I think “positive affect” might be the technically correct term.
