I just discovered these little morsels of chocolatey goodness from Lake Champlain in Vermont.   The company was born back in the early eighties, when a restaurant owner was taken aside by one of his employees and told that the chocolates he’d been gifting to the staff tasted “terrible”.  Jim challenged him, “then do better”.  What resulted was the best, mouth-watering, hand-rolled truffles he had ever tasted; so he decided to serve them to select patrons on Sundays.  The response was overwhelming and soon Jim was opening his own upscale chocolate biz to keep up with demand.  Initially, the business was meant for wholesale distribution only, but word got out and people snuck in to try to get their hands on the chocolate.  Now, years laters they offer much more than truffles, they are in a 24,000 building and at the peak of the season they have 100 employees.  

 Their truffles are USDA certified organic and their organic milk chocolate was named “Best Milk Chocolate” by Martha Stewart’s Body+Soul magazine in their taste test of organic chocolates.  

This box of 15 pieces (shown above) is just $20!
