Etymology: "Yummies" is simply the plural of "yummy," with the ordinary English plural ending "-s" added to it. The noun form, meaning tasty food or treats, grew out of the adjective "yummy," which expresses enjoyment of something good to eat. Because the word is built directly from an existing base plus a regular suffix, there is no older foreign root hiding behind it, and its story is essentially the story of "yummy" in its noun use.
