Lake Champlain Chocolates is thrilled to be a participant and sponsor of Vermont Public Television’s live cooking special "VPT Cooks Chocolate" premiering on Saturday Dec 5th from 2-4pm.  Just in time for holiday entertaining, Chef Sean Buchanan of the Stowe Mountain Lodge hosts Vermont chefs and chocolatiers demonstrating their favorite recipes.

Kirk Weed of LCC will be demonstrating how to make a Flourless Pumpkin Ganache Cake, the same creamy ganache used in our amazing truffles! In addition, Allison Hooper of Vermont Butter & Cheese Company will be hosting a chocolate and cheese pairing using Lake Champlain Chocolates.  Chefs from The Belted Cow Bistro, Cafe Provence, New England Culinary Institute and others will also be cooking and sharing their chocolate recipes.

LCC staff will be answering phones during the live show so please call in to show your support of VPT during its winter membership campaign.  The chocolate recipes demonstrated in the show, a gift box of local chocolates and other treats will be offered as thank you gifts for contributions! 

If you miss the live premiere this Saturday, the show will re-air on Dec. 9 at 7:30 p.m., Dec. 12 at noon and Dec. 13 at noon.  It will air on VPT’s broadcast channels, and the premiere will be online at www.vpt.org.  We hope you check it out!
