Favorite Vegan Chocolate!? Who Can Pick Just One?
If you’ve already voted in the 2010 Veggie Awards I’d like to say “Thank You” for participating in the largest survey of vegan products, places and people in the world! 
We’re nominated in several categories, and if you read this blog with any regularity, you’ll know them by heart by now. I know I’ve been writing about this a lot, but since there are only a few more days left to vote, I just want to say a couple of things about our nomination for Favorite Vegan Chocolate.
First, I’d like to giggle at the slightly ridiculous nature of this category. 
I mean, it’s chocolate, do we really need to pick a favorite? Seriously though, our competition in this category is pretty steep; when you vote you’ll no doubt notice some big-name chocolate companies on the list. 
However, even if picking your favorite chocolate is like picking your favorite child, there are some wonderful reasons to vote for Allison’s Gourmet, not least of which is the wide variety of vegan chocolates we offer. Whether your favorite is our peanut butter cups, peppermint creme patties, cherry almond bark or gift-boxed caramels and truffles, if you’ve tried our vegan chocolates I’m sure you’ll have at least one reason to vote for us. Another good reason is that we’re an all-vegan company (no milk chocolate or other animal products hiding in our inventory). Your vote for us will support small-scale, eco-conscious and animal-friendly business practices and products. So, if you haven’t voted yet, do it now! Voting ends Tuesday.
Gift Ideas for Chocolate Lovers
Looking for the perfect gift for a true chocolate lover in your life? Let me recommend our outrageously decadent Peppermint Bark and Cherry Almond Bark. 
Made from the highest quality organic, fair-trade chocolate, these rich dark barks will wow any chocolate lover.
When ordering chocolate barks, or any of our other premium fair-trade chocolate products, we highly recommend that you include the suggested chill pack, especially in these warmer months, to insure that your chocolates arrive in perfect condition.
Last Chance to Order for Father’s Day!
What are your special Father’s Day plans? We’re planning a friends and family barbecue for Sunday afternoon with veggies and mushrooms on the grill, vegan potato salad and lemonade. For more great vegan menu ideas, check out my Veganize It! column from VegNews Magazine.
If your Father’s Day plans are still undecided, it’s not too late to order some delicious treats to let your Dad know you’re thinking of him. As a gift for a Dad far away, I recommend our Classic and Spiced Peanut Brittles, or our amazing Cherry Almond Bark. For something to share as a family, try our Pecan Brownies, or a Gourmet Vegan Sampler. Order today for delivery before the weekend.

A fair-trade coffee sampler or our Classic Vanilla Lover’s Gift Set also make great gifts for Dads.
Chocolate for Men
Pssst…I know a secret: Moms aren’t the only people who love chocolate! Believe it or not, Dad’s like chocolate, too! 
Although they may not admit it as freely as some women I know, most men really do love good chocolate. Father’s Day is coming up in a few short weeks, and while you’re thinking of father’s day gift ideas, give chocolate some consideration. We think dads might especially enjoy our peanut butter cups, pecan brownies and cherry almond bark.
Okay, but what if your dad really doesn’t like chocolate? We have some excellent non-chocolate father’s day gift ideas too. Check out our spiced peanut brittle, chocolate chip pecan cookies and our aromatic selection of fair-trade coffee.
