Good news: Lake Champlain Chocolates launched its first-ever line of vegan chocolate truffles this week, expanding its offerings for plant-based partners, pals or paramours just in time for one of the chocolate industry's biggest days of the year. As online sales grew during the pandemic, the Burlington-based company noticed more customers seeking out vegan products, Lake Champlain Chocolates' Meghan Fitzpatrick told Seven Days. "That's been one of the big traffic drivers, but we just had our bars and our dark chocolate snack bites," she said. "We wanted to offer something a little more indulgent and luscious and delicious."
