Attention Burlington holiday shoppers: Still looking for last minute gift ideas? Maybe some extra stocking stuffers or Hanukkah fillers? Don't panic – Lake Champlain Chocolates has got it covered.
Rated “one of New England's best chocolatiers” by New England Travel, the variety of treats offered at Lake Champlain Chocolates during the holiday season is endless. From assortment packages to gift baskets, and hot chocolate to gelt, it is impossible to leave LCC empty-handed.
“The chocolates were without question the very best we ever had tasted,” says Paul H., Champlain Chocolate fan. “They made my lady friend very happy.”
Found on the LCC website (lakechamplainchocolates.com), a letter from a woman named Sally reads: “We were just given one of your chocolate Santas. I had to write to let you know just what a fine chocolate we thought it was. I am English and a chocolate snob. After tasting you chocolate I felt the need to write. In 20 years here, I never found an edible chocolate, no matter how fine or expensive. So congratulations.”
But it's not only customers who are noticing, and have noticed, Champlain Chocolates' quality – even the New York Times deems it as “some of the best chocolate in the country.”
As the snow slowly begins to fall, and the pressure and stress of holiday shopping increases, the people of Champlain Chocolates want to bring the most to this wonderful time of the year. With the economy exhausting everyone's mind, the Lake Champlain Chocolate Factory offers deals such as factory seconds.
“Why pay $5.00 for a chocolate bar when you can get it for one $1.75?” raves San Diego native Chi Wynn.
Factory seconds provides a comparatively inexpensive selection of Champlain Chocolate, including gold coins, truffles, and a handful of different flavored chocolate squares. These pre-packaged sweets make for terrific last minute gift ideas, and an undeniably satisfying indulgence.
After a tour of Lake Champlain's Chocolate factory, Wynn continues to say that, “reflecting on Vermont's granola roots, a lot of their chocolates are USDA organic. In fact, Lake Champlain Chocolates has its own organic chocolate line. In Vermont, a widely Eco-friendly state, this is highly valued, and acts as an incentive for business.
Some products of LCC's organic chocolate line include organic fair trade hot chocolate, holiday chocolate truffles, a chocolate bar sampler, and milk sea salt and almonds chocolate bars.
In regard to this organic line – which is made entirely in Vermont – Elizabeth E. writes to Champlain Chocolates that she “loves their Aztec spicy dark chocolate. I am crazy about it. In addition to the chocolate itself, I also love the small size it comes in.”
On chocolateobsession.com, LCC's organic fair trade hot chocolate is featured. William K. says that its “taste is nice and chocolaty and it smells darn good, too. It's nice and smooth without having a grainy mouth feel. It's quality stuff, easy to make, and comes with the added benefits of being organic and Fair Trade certified.”
Although not all of Champlain Chocolates' products are organic, almost all of them, however, are kosher. According to their website, all of LCC's items “are certified Star-D Kosher by the National Council of Young Israel in affiliation with Star-K Kosher Certification, with the exception of our hot chocolate, unsweetened cocoa, Tanzanian Chocolate Sauce.”
With a vast variety of unique and festive chocolates to choose from, Lake Champlain Chocolates is helping to make the holiday season bright. With stores on Church and Pine Street, their locality makes shopping easy and quick.
“If you're looking for a gift that's just right, you need to get yourself to Champlain Chocolates,” writes local Vermonter Myrna R. “They're certainly my idea of perfection!”
