The Summer Fancy Food Show is happening this weekend, June 28th-30th at the Jacob Javits Center in New York City.  For those of you not familiar with the Fancy Food Show, it's the largest specialty food and beverage marketplace in North America.  With anywhere from 16,000-24,000 people in attendance checking out over 250,000 products from 81 different countries, it's kind of a big deal!  Everyone from retailers to restaurant owners to food distributors to the press will be there tasting & learning about different foods including confections, cheeses, coffee, spices, and much, much more.

If you're planning on attending the Fancy Food Show, be sure to visit Lake Champlain Chocolates at Booth #1650.  Not only will we be unveiling our new Chocolates of Vermont packaging, but we'll be sampling our new Five Star Bar as well!  What's the new flavor you ask?  Sorry, I won't give away the surprise just yet.  But I will give you one small hint...3 out of the 4 current Five Star Bars are made of milk chocolate, so we felt like we needed to even out the playing a field just a little bit.  Okay, I can't resist, how about two hints.  Some might also consider this new bar both healthy and indulgent.

Hope to see you at the Fancy Food Show!

If you were lucky enough to get a snow day yesterday, you might have caught Lake Champlain Chocolates featured as the Snack of the Day on the Rachael Ray Show. She gave out 6-paks of Five Star Bars to the audience and at the end of her segment with Kat Von D, she mentioned the day’s Snack of the Day. Along with it, she placed a link to the LCC site showing visitors to her site where they can get them.

While it was a long process, it was a great opportunity to expose thousands of viewers to the Five Star Bar. Sure, most of us already know and love it but just think – there are people walking around out there who have never tasted the Caramel Five Star Bar with it’s chunks of chocolate and nuts or even the Peanut Five Star Bar with it’s sweet and nutty middle and it’s light, crispy crunch. Really! Some people are missing out on this so if nothing else, a big thanks goes out to Rachael Ray for helping inform those who not in the know.
