Weggli(Small bread tasting a bit like a Zopf), Hörnli(The kind of pasta americans use to make Mac n Cheese), Mütschli(Small bread which is a bit harder than a Weggli), Schnitteli(Piece of bread with jam or honey etc.), Schöggeli(Small chocolate), etc...

Basically you can add -li to almost any word in swiss german and there are lots of words already which end with -li. It's a way to make a word sound "cute".

As an example, "Auto" means car, but if we call it "Autöli" it means that it's either a toy car or just a little(,cute) car :)
