It’s not only women who love chocolate, so this Father’s Day why not indulge your dad and his sweet tooth with gifts from La Maison du Chocolat.

Most men prefer the bitterness of dark chocolate. However if you know of something your dad particularly likes, you can pick out your own assortment ensuring this Father’s Day will be truly memorable.

Here are some ideas that will see your Dad is truly spoilt:

Trinidad
The clue is in the title as to why this is the perfect gift for your Dad. The beautiful tan cigar box contains 30 very thin squares of 60% cocoa chocolate. With an intensely rich flavour, it’s the perfect accompaniment for a Father’s Day cup of coffee.
The box costs £ 8.20.

Tamanaco
If your Dad is the adventurous type then he may prefer this sophisticated black and gold box. Containing five different types of ganache, all made from cocoa beans with different origins, your dad can travel the world without even leaving the comfort of his favourite armchair. There are four delicious dark flavours as well as one smoother chocolate made from caramelised milk.
The box contains 30 mouth watering chocolates and costs £37.90.

Plain Truffles
If you are not sure what chocolates your Dad likes why not stick to the classic, but delicious option. La Maison du Chocolat’s Plain Truffles, a best seller, would be perfect. They contain a creamy truffle mousse centre, coated with a layer of dark chocolate and rolled in fine cocoa powder. The bitterness of the dark chocolate and the sweetness of the smooth centre combine perfectly to create the ultimate truffle. These stylish brown boxes start from 260 grams and can go up to 1,050 grams.
Prices start from £22 and go
up to £89
