August 22, 2008 :: Burlington, VT - Each year, consumers search for the perfect gift for Valentine’s Day and the recipient list is as varied as ever – partner, friend, parent, sibling, or child. The reasons for giving range far and wide. With this in mind, Lake Champlain Chocolates (LCC) offers a full array of chocolate gifts festively decorated in playfully-designed Valentine packaging, both vibrant and chic in their appearance. But more importantly, the meticulous care that goes into the chocolates ensures what’s on the inside of the gift is even more exciting.
While the tradition of giving chocolate at Valentine’s Day originally began in the late 1800’s, chocolate connoisseurs only had to wait a century more to give Lake Champlain Chocolates to their friends and loved ones on February 14. Founded in 1983, LCC is in its 25th year of business and is pleased to offer a complete line of handcrafted gourmet chocolates ideal for Valentine’s Day giving.
Each chocolate Lake Champlain Chocolates makes is carefully crafted in small batches from the finest all-natural ingredients. Local ingredients are featured – milk, cream, and butter from Vermont dairy farmers go into making the rich ganache, golden honey from local apiaries is used in creating the Honey Caramel, and pure Vermont maple syrup is the pride of LCC’s Maple Toffee.
“It used to be all about the packaging and the box that the chocolates arrived in. Today’s consumers are very savvy and know that the chocolate inside is what really matters,” said Allyson Myers, Director of Sales. “At Lake Champlain Chocolates, we give extra attention to both elements assuring our customers receive the highest quality chocolates in beautifully crafted packaging. It’s a gift they can be proud to give and know the recipient will truly treasure long after the holiday.”
For Valentine’s Day 2009, chocolate gifts from Lake Champlain Chocolates include the Grand Heart – a luxurious assortment of twenty-two gourmet chocolates which includes a variety of truffles in both milk and dark chocolate, raspberry creams, and caramels, all in a keepsake heart-shaped box tied with fuchsia ribbon; The Petite Heart Box containing six assorted gourmet chocolates in a sweetly decorated heart-shaped box; 9-piece Valentine Conversation Squares which offer an assortment of milk and dark chocolate squares individually wrapped in festive designs, 6-piece Old World Truffles gift box with contemporary holiday imagery and flavors reminiscent of chocolate making from a time gone by, and the adorable Kiss Me Frog of milk chocolate with white and dark detailed accents which is definitely a showstopper.
