Lake Champlain Chocolates

Got the worst smoothie ever. The strawberry smoothie was extremely watery, as watery as milk.

Stopped in while visiting the shops in the area. Cute little store with nice selection of chocolates and other treats. They had some samples out of one of the chocolate bars and the attendant gave me a small taste since raspberry white chocolate when I showed interest in it. I am not a chocolate fan but loved the taste and texture of that. I grabbed a few probiotics drinks from the cooler and we opted not to get chocolates yet because we were headed to a tour - didn’t want them to melt in the car. Plan on returning to buy a gift set.

The home of really good chocolate treats !
Fun stop multiple small quality shops .

Their chocolate ice cream is the best chocolate ice cream!!

Nice pitstop if you're in the area to do some chocolate tasting, get a yummy hot chocolate or coffee drink, and buy some chocolate as a gift or for yourself.

Get the milkshake or the drinking chocolate, whatever temperature you're in the mood for. And check out the discount wall. Fantastic chocolates. I hope the Burlington location still dies tours, but if you can't get up there this is awesome for your taste buds.

Best hot Coco and chocolate.

Always a treat to visit and buy a few sweets. We usually buy the bars which are good value for the quality. We also enjoy the cafe which serves ice cream, coffee drinks and hot chocolate.

This is about as tourist trap as it gets. The Millennial Chum and I stopped in here on our way into Stowe this past weekend - I saw signs for cheese and chocolate and insisted this would be an ideal location for local swag (it wasn't; the mugs in the adjoining shop were $44. Insane.). This establishment is located in a building with several other stores, but it didn't take long for us to organically wander into this one. As mentioned in pretty much every other review, it's a lot to take in, chocolate-wise. There's a self-serve chocolate variety bin area where you can scoop out preferred flavors at $31/lb (yikes), along with tons of displays with wrapped bars and bags of individual candies. Unsurprisingly, there was a strong maple bent to a lot of the inventory.

I wasn't really in the mood for chocolate at the specific moment in time (and the Millennial Chum was right - it was overpriced for sure, no matter how good the overall quality of the chocolate) and opted for the ice cream, which was nestled in the back corner of the store. There were a few people behind the long counter but I was impressed that the minute I placed myself in front of the ice cream, someone immediately popped over to assist - some vigilance points there for sure.

Since I was still getting my Vermont sea legs, I went with a small cup of maple ice cream (I think $5ish). Really hit the spot. You can taste the artisanal/small batch goodness of this ice cream - just the right amount of creamy, just the right amount of density. While I was still in the middle of consuming the ice cream, I noticed a framed shout-out by the door indicating this ice cream had won a few local awards. Unsurprisingly. The Millennial Chum grabbed a few peanut butter cups, but no one was interested in emptying their wallet before we'd even gotten to our official destination of the trip.

We noticed after we got into town that this is a mini chain; there was a super cute location just off the main drag in Stowe located in a ye olde home with a porch that I would have preferred to go to instead purely for ambiance purposes. It's pricy; I would be surprised if locals are a significant part of the clientele here. As an aside, I did grab a chocolate mint crunch bar from a local mini mart later in the day, which was tasty but honestly nothing that would significantly set it apart from any other quasi-bougie chocolate. I was pleasantly surprised by the ice cream though.
