It’s tough to be a dude with a sweet tooth. As stereotypes have it, dudes should only like “dude foods.” Bacon, ribs, wings or any old slab of meat fit the bill.

So when you want to be able to dig into something sugary and nice to satisfy your craving, you also want to maintain your masculinity, stereotypically-speaking. Cute miniature cupcakes, pastel colored macarons and delicate cakes just don’t cut it.

This inequality is a true shame — men deserve to have their cake and eat it, too. To remedy this, we’ve whipped up some treats that any macho man would feel comfortable munching (they are all society-approved). Sit back, relax, put your feet up, switch on the game and wash it all down with a brew or two. You are a man.
