April 28, 2008 :: (Burlington, VT) Gourmet Vermont chocolate maker, Lake Champlain Chocolates’ (LCC), announces its fall line of all-natural chocolate gifts for Autumn, Halloween, and Thanksgiving. Made in small batches from the finest local ingredients, Lake Champlain Chocolates are carefully crafted by chocolatiers fanatical about creating chocolates with charm, quality, and freshness that has come to be expected from Vermont products.
Redesigned for 2008 and themed around Vermont nature in the fall – pumpkins growing on the vine, leaves falling, and geese making their annual pilgrimage south – this year’s seasonal chocolates evoke the quintessential autumn day in Vermont.
The 18-piece Chocolates of Vermont gift box features a pumpkin patch ready for harvest. This signature line of chocolates celebrates the memorable tastes of Vermont -- a “harvest of flavors” -- including Honey Caramel and Maple Toffee. The complementary 5-piece Truffles gift box is filled with an assortment of hand-decorated chocolate truffles including the limited edition seasonal Pumpkin Spice truffle.
“Kids are attending more private parties and trick-or-treating from door-to-door less. We also see a trend where parents prefer to give their children smaller quantities of better quality, natural confections,” said Allyson Myers, Director of Sales for LCC. “The Halloween Cauldron makes a spectacular party favor for the young and old attending a Halloween party.”
New this year is the Nuts & Raisins Pumpkin, a festive pumpkin-shaped box with a clear pane window filled with dark chocolate almonds and milk chocolate raisins, tied with an orange ribbon. Also new is the Halloween Cauldron filled with decoratively wrapped dark chocolate squares, a foil wrapped hazelnut praline pumpkin, and finished with a spooky white chocolate ghost.
Autumn Square Medallions features assorted wafer-thin milk, dark, and dark mint crunch chocolates in seasonal foils. The Autumn Coins Gift Bag is filled with bite-size milk and dark chocolate coins. Peanut butter, caramel, and orange cream chocolate leaves are in the Leaves Gift Box. Peanut Butter Leaves are also available separately in a gift bag, as are Caramel Leaves.
The dark chocolate hand-painted Pumpkin Face comes in a gift bag tied with orange ribbon. Halloween Coins Gift Bag features orange-foiled milk chocolate coins. Placesetting Turkeys in milk & dark chocolate are annual handmade favorites for Thanksgiving, and are a nice accompaniment to the dark chocolate Centerpiece Turkey. Autumn Signature Squares are individually wrapped with labels featuring colorful leaves, birds, apples, and pumpkins. Additional products include Spooky Cat, White Chocolate Ghost, and Pumpkin Pops. Countertop dispensers of Hazelnut Praline Pumpkins & Caramel Leaves fill out the line.

Preservative-free and Kosher-certified, Lake Champlain Chocolates are crafted in small batches from the finest quality Belgian chocolate and select natural ingredients including local Vermont cream, sweet butter, maple syrup, and honey.
