The man behind this is in the running for the Dad of the Year award.

Twitter user Faye Capio shared a photo of her father’s version of a graduation medal: one made from Ferrero Rocher chocolates. It must’ve been made with nearly a hundred chocolate balls!

“I got the medal at the end of my graduation. My family was waiting at the entrance of the venue while I was walking for the recessional. And when I saw them, my dad brought out the Ferrero medal and I started crying tears of joy while the people around me, including my batchmates, teachers and other parents, started laughing and thought that the medal was cool and unique,” Capio told Coconuts Manila.

If you’ve been living under a rock and don’t know what Ferrero Rocher is, it’s a shperical chocolate made with roasted hazelnut, a thin wafer shell, hazelnut chocolate, milk chocolate and chopped hazelnuts.

We also asked Carpio for a quick message for her cool dad. Here’s what she said:

“You know how sad I was when I didn’t get an actual gold medal but you made up for it with your endless love and support, and through this Ferrero medal. Mom told me about how you rushed to the supermarket early in the morning just to buy the chocolates, but the efforts I thank you for don’t stop here. I look up to you and how hardworking you’ve been. Thank you so much for literally EVERYTHING, Papa. I love you!!!”

Your dad sounds super awesome, Faye! Congratulations!
