The chocolate indulgence that holds itself to a higher standard
Burlington, Vt. (February 2023) – Family-owned company Lake Champlain Chocolates (LCC), known for their award-winning chocolate confections and commitment to Fair Trade ingredients, is excited to release their new Plant-Based Truffle Bars, free of palm oil, artificial ingredients, and GMOs. These vegan truffle bars offer all the creaminess of milk chocolate without the dairy. The Plant-Based Truffle Bars are available in five flavors including Cinnamon, Cold Brew Coffee, Sea Salt Caramel, Raspberry, and Peppermint.
Born from a dare to do better, Jim Lampman founded Lake Champlain Chocolates, beginning the journey of making hand-rolled, creamy truffles crafted with local Vermont ingredients. Fast forward almost 40 years later, and Lake Champlain Chocolates' truffle-making is still going strong and has evolved to include plant-based truffle bars that everyone can enjoy.
Meet the flavors:
- Cinnamon: Inspired by the popular cookie butter trend, this truffle bar is made with oat milk and delivers a bold taste of cozy cinnamon.
- Cold Brew Coffee: This truffle bar is made with oat milk and local coffee from Vermont Artisan Coffee which is steeped, brewed, and then added to the ganache for a smooth and delicious flavor.
- Sea Salt Caramel: In our third truffle bar made with oat milk, kettle-cooked caramelized sugar and sea salt are infused into silky-smooth ganache, perfect for caramel fans.
- Raspberry: 70% dark chocolate cocoa meets freeze-dried raspberries for a vegan truffle bursting with flavor.
- Peppermint: Your classic dark chocolate and mint flavor pairing, made with organic certified 70% dark chocolate from Uganda and organic peppermint oil.
“Eating plant-based doesn’t mean you have to compromise on taste,” says Allyson Myers, Director of Marketing for LCC. “We are excited to be releasing a truffle bar that uses quality ingredients and satisfies discerning chocolate-lovers who appreciate a rich flavor.”
