Food-Focused Gifts Dad Will Love Slideshow
Let Dad kick back with a box of fine chocolates that match up to an equally fine whiskey or bourbon. A nine-piece set of chocolates flavored with fleur de sel caramel, Kona coffee, and honeycomb malt come in a handsome box and include pairing notes.

A Sweet Mix
A slice of heaven? Nah, give dad the whole pie — Franken Pie, that is, from New York City's famous Momofuku Milk Bar. It's an assemblage of the restaurant's beloved Crack Pie (a gooey butter filling and a toasted oat topping), Candy Bar Pie (chocolate crust, caramel, peanut butter nougat, and pretzels) and Dream Girl Pie (a gluten-free, dairy-free coconut milk and dark chocolate confection with granola crust). Swoon.

Let Him Eat Cake
Chocolate cake is always a winner, but Red Truck Bakery takes it to the next level, adding a tinge of pure Virginia moonshine to its rich chocolate ring cake, then topping it off with a drizzle of chocolate glaze.
To buy: Double-chocolate moonshine cake, $22 from RedTruckBakery.com
Boozy Brittle
Here's a sweet snack with pedigree: brittle that contains cacao nibs that have been aged in the barrels of fine bourbons — which imbues the confection with the characteristic oak and fruit notes of a classic bourbon.
