The Chocolate I Ate Today: Lake Champlain

Y302004001.jpg

This past weekend I had the pleasure of visiting Vermont for the day. While I was there, I noted that Vermont, overall, is really into things made in Vermont. Lake Champlain Chocolates are based there, and while I didn't visit their chocolate factory, I did pick up some of their chocolates while I was at the Cabot Creamery.

Lake Champlain Chocolates of Vermont: Package of 4 filled chocolates.

Honey Caramel: Though honey and chocolate is a combination that I think should be explored more, the dark chocolate in this particular confection doesn't pair all that well with the honey. More of a molasses taste comes through. Overall it could have been lighter on the tongue.

Green Mountain: Shaped, appropriately, like a mountain. A bit sweet, more currants would have made it better.

Maple Crunch: Round disk with a square of maple candy in the middle. Satisfying crunch but a little sweet for a dark chocolate lover like me.

Evergreen Mint: Little pieces of peppermint candy permeated this confection. Unpleasant texture as a result. Not a very strong peppermint taste.

I also ate 1 Reeses Peanut Butter Cup that I got at a gas station on the way up.
