Make food your love language this Father's Day.

The roles of fathers have gone beyond being the sole provider for the family. They are equally important in nurturing the family’s wellbeing by building strong relationships and being actively involved in child care interests and responsibilities. Our fathers literally become our rock, protecting us as much as they can. Some fathers, however, may not be huggers or emotionally attuned to us, but you know they truly care deep down through their unique love language.

We are truly blessed to have fathers and father figures in our lives, who helped mold us to into what we are today. We thus salute the men in our lives on their special day. Of course, nothing beats whipping up something sweet from the heart. Make food your love language with this utterly #Madalicious treat - Cerveza Negra Chocolate Balls, made with Magnolia Devil’s Food Cake Mix combined with Cerveza Negra. It will pleasantly surprise your taste buds too!
