Lake Champlain Chocolates Blog

Lately, we’ve been popping up here and there with a variety of print and internet mentions so I thought I’d share a little update. Firstly, you have to check us out in one of my favorite blogs, Cupcake Project. I’ve had Stef’s blog listed here on the right in my blogroll for folks to check out but when I saw us featured in an entry this week talking about our yummy chocolate covered raisins, I couldn’t help but share it with you. Check out her previous posts too as there are some incredible recipes there. If you’re a cupcake lover like me, it’s a must read.

Also, if you’re a social media fan like me, you’ll most likely see us in your preferred platform. You can friend us on Facebook, Buzz us on FoodBuzz, check out awesome chocolate pics on Flickr and now you can follow us on Twitter as LCChocolates. (There’s a link to it also on our blogroll over in the right hand margin.) Don’t worry, if you do follow us on Twitter, I promise not to Tweet you to death. Just an occasional mood-lifting chocolate tweet here and there. Think of it as a tiny chocolate chip in the big cookie that is your daily life.

Don’t you just love all this connectivity! Like they say in Key West, “One Human Family”. Tweet me!

I promised video of the Lake Champlain Chocolates’ chocolate fashions and here you are. While it doesn’t show the behind the scenes making of these fashions (that video will need a little extra work I’m sorry to say) it does give a more comprehensive picture of just what chocolate fashion can look like.

These pieces, created by our chocolate sculptor Emily Walton Jones, are made entirely of 100% edible chocolate – the exact same chocolate you find in our chocolate bars and confections. In fact, the milk chocolate is the same as our 34% cocoa content Signature Milk Chocolate Bar and the dark is our 54% cocoa content Signature Dark Chocolate Bar. There is no molding chocolate and there are no inedible pieces holding them together. Amazing, no?

While no one has actually attempted to don one these outfits, I can’t help but think how fun it’d be to try. Come on. Admit it. You were thinking the same thing!
