Chocolates for Dad

Well, Mother’s Day was a resounding success—much to the delight of moms, grandmas, florists, and chocolatiers everywhere. We absolutely loved playing a small part in honoring all the wonderful moms out there. Y’all rock! And, we’re now right around the corner from another parent-themed holiday, and we here at Dean’s Sweets are determined to help you find the best chocolates for Dad. 

The comedian Jim Gaffigan recently suggested extending Father’s Day celebrations into Father’s Day Month (his name, not ours). What would Father’s Day Month consist of, you ask? Well, Gaffigan’s idea is that on every even-numbered day, Dad would receive a present (say, for instance, chocolate…). On odd-numbered days, Dad gets to relax in complete silence, with no one asking for a ride to their friend’s house or help with a homework assignment. 

If we’re following the Gaffigan model of Father’s Day celebrations, well, that’s an awful lot of gifts to think of. Thankfully, we’ve got a few ideas re: chocolates for Dad that we think you (and he) will love. 

For the jet-setting dad: Chocolate-covered espresso beans

Whether he’s waiting for a connecting flight or being the highway hero during a road trip, sometimes Dad just needs a little something extra to get back the pep in his step. Enter our chocolate-covered espresso beans. These guys combine rich, decadent dark chocolate with just the right hit of caffeine, helping Dad to keep smiling regardless of any travel delays. 

For the film-fanatic father: Caramel popcorn

Picture it: Dad’s got his favorite movie queued up. Maybe it’s Saving Private Ryan, The Godfather, or something by David Lynch. He’s had a long day of making everyone else’s dreams come true, and now he’d just like to sit back and watch the story unfold. What could make this moment even better? Why, Dean’s Sweets caramel popcorn, of course! It’s the perfect mix of sweet and salty, and you can even get it with dark chocolate for that added bit of Hollywood glamor. Trust us, with this movie snack, it’s always a happy ending. 

For the adventurous eater: Custom assortment box

Sometimes Dad wants to try something a little off the beaten path. Something that’ll catch him off guard, make him shake his head, and maybe sprint to the kitchen to see if he can come up with an even stranger combination. If that sounds like your pops, look no further than our custom assortment box. Nowhere else could you mix classic truffle flavors like Raspberry and Double Dark with concoctions like Lemon Apricot Chèvre, Stout, and Moxie (the Maine state soda for those not in the know). With dozens of flavors to choose from, we can help you find a set of chocolates for Dad that’s just as cool as he is. 

For the grill master: Bacon buttercrunch

If your dad loves nothing more than a weekend spent manning the grill, we think he’d love our Bacon Buttercrunch. The sweetness of chocolate and toffee meets the salty smokiness of bacon, creating a flavor combo that’s out of this world great. In fact, these guys are so good it’s hard to just stop at one—which is why we sell them in packs of four. 😉

For the beach lover: Coconut clusters

Does your dad like pina coladas? Getting caught in the rain? Escaping to a tropical island where work emails can’t reach him? If you answered yes to any of these questions, we think your dad would love our Coconut Clusters. Toasted coconut meets white chocolate meets dark chocolate in these bite-sized tropical getaways. Whether he’s a perennial beach bum or stuck in one too many board meetings, coconut clusters are ready to transport him to Bermuda, Bahama, or any other destination he dreams of. 

For the at-home bartender: Boozy mix

Sometimes, a little mixology is the perfect way for Dad to unwind at the end of the day. Maybe he’s got the most well-stocked wine fridge on the block. Maybe he hides a bottle of 100-year-old bourbon that’s only allowed to be brought out for special occasions. Or maybe he just likes to send obscure cocktail recipes in the family group chat. Whatever the case, our Boozy mix is sure to amaze and delight. Offered in four, eight, or sixteen pieces, this box includes our Single-Malt Scotch, Tequila Lime, Dark & Stormy, and Maine Moonshine truffles. With these chocolates, it’s always five o’clock somewhere. 

Sometimes it’s hard to find the perfect presents for our pops. They do so much and ask for so little in return—meaning it’s all the more important to show them how much we care. Chocolates for Dad do just that, offering a moment of pure delight and reminding them that they too can kick up their feet and relax.
