Dad of the Day Giveaway Winner!
Congratulations to Carrie, the winner of our Dad of the Day Giveaway! She has won a $30 gift certificate to give to a special Dad of her choice. Although her answer was chosen randomly, we really liked what she had to say:
My father is no longer with us, so on Father’s Day I like to celebrate all the other awesome Dads in my life! My husband will surely get spoiled with breakfast in bed, lunch, dinner and dessert! He also gets to choose whatever activity we will do as a family for that day!
For those of you just realizing that Father’s Day is this weekend, don’t panic! From my experience, all Dads like a sweet treat and our definitive Father’s Day selection includes delicacies for every taste. From classics like peanut brittle and pecan brownies to more adventurous edibles including salted or chipotle caramels and spiced brittle, we’ve got the perfect sweet something for that special man.
Looking for a larger gift, something he’ll be able to share? A Monthly Club will deliver a bountiful selection of premium cookies, brownies, or fudge each month for as many months as you specify. Every month’s delivery will remind that special father that you’re thinking of him.
Order this week before Wednesday to guarantee on-time delivery. Orders placed later in the week will require faster shipping to arrive on time for Sunday. If you do happen to be a little late ordering, our Gift Certificates are delivered instantly and there’s no shipping fees. Plus, they let him decide exactly what he wants for his dessert.
Spice It Up!
I don’t usually have much of a taste for spiciness. I buy mild salsa and truthfully I don’t even like onions on my salads. Most Indian food is too spicy for me. 
The reason I’m telling you all of this is because I want to explain the difference between a spicy Indian curry and our spiced peanut brittle, chipotle caramels, and chipotle cinnamon fudge. Not being one for spicy foods I worry that some people may choose not to try our more exotic flavors because of their spicy names. So, let me assure you that even our most “spiced” products are not even close to burn-your-mouth-off hot peppers. In fact, we named our spiced peanut brittle “spiced” instead of “spicy” because we didn’t want to give anyone the wrong idea about it. 
Even my sensitive tastes buds love it’s warm cinnamon notes and little kick of spice at the end. Basically, if you haven’t tried these spiced confections, you’re missing out!
For a perfect pairing, our Spice Lover’s Gift Set offers spiced peanut brittle complimented by the smokier but no less heavenly flavors of our unique chipotle caramels. Some other exotic (but not at all spicy) spice blends we create ourselves include our Rooibos Chai Tisane, and the Apple Pie and Vanilla Chai spices for our vegan fudge.
Confection Affection: Vegan Toffee and Peanut Brittle
Clients often ask what our most popular product is. We have so many great products for such a wide range of tastes that this question is always hard to answer. 
However, there are some products that do stand out as worthy of special praise. Crunchy and crispy, sweet and salty, our vegan toffee and peanut brittle are two of our best-selling confections. Whether you prefer almonds or peanuts, classic, chocolate covered or spiced, these treats are sure to win your heart are first bite. 
With so many varieties to choose from, sold individually or in sets, our vegan toffee and peanut brittle make excellent gifts, and are especially tolerant of being shipped in the summer heat. Our classic toffee, as well as our classic and spiced peanut brittle, won’t melt or get stale even when shipped over weekends.
As you can probably tell, we’re having quite a love affair with these scrumptious confections and we bet, when you try them, you will too!
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.

Our Classic and Spiced Peanut Brittles make excellent gifts, as well as Cherry Almond Bark and Pecan Brownies for the more chocoholic fathers out there. 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.
Unique Flavors and Gourmet Goodness
Our specialty here at Allison’s is making vegan versions of classic sweet treats and then adding interesting flavors to create truly compassionate gourmet desserts. A great example of this process is our peanut brittle. We
took classic brittle like grandma used to make, transformed it into a vegan delight, and then added our own unique flavors. Our amazing spiced peanut brittle is tingly and warming, sweet and salty, crispy and absolutely delicious. It’s everything you’ve ever wanted in a snack, plus it’s organic! And, because everything is better with chocolate, we also offer our classic brittle covered in a rich layer of luscious dark chocolate. We’re always experimenting, so if you have a special treat you’d love to see made vegan, tell us, you never know what could happen.
Peanut Brittle: A Salty-Sweet Treat
When was the last time you enjoyed peanut brittle? If you’re anything like me, brittle is not usually on your sweet treat wish list. That’s all about to change though, because Allison’s Gourmet is here to reclaim peanut brittle as the yummiest sweet and salty snack ever invented. With our animal free ingredients, perfect crispy-crunchy texture and exciting new varieties like spiced and chocolate covered, this brittle will rock your world!
