When you know how to do something right, ‘good enough’ will never cut it – thus is the story of how Lake Champlain chocolates went from a restaurant to one of the foremost chocolate-makers in the world.

After years of receiving less-than-great chocolates from the big boss, the pastry chef took matters into his own hands.

The whimsical packaging is colorful, playful and fun, while still keeping within traditional Valentine expectations. The truffles are rich and dense while at the same time managing to be light and fresh. You’ll want to enjoy them all at once, but you’ll only be able to eat one at a time. And, that’s probably best – the longer you can make them last, the more enjoyment you’ll get.

The Sweetheart chocolates are more traditional fare, but taken to a taste level you aren’t necessarily expecting – the maple crunch is sinful. Also available from Lake Champlain are organic truffles that, judging by flavor varieties alone, are worth checking out.

The Chocolate Hearts gift bags are bursting with the simple decadence of pure chocolate in milk, dark and mint varieties – every one made us want more. The consistency is divine and the flavors highlighted the natural ingredients.
