Welcome Fall

It was a long hot summer, one that most chocolate doesn't enjoy... unless you are the frozen variety.

We at St. lawrence Chocolates are gearing up for a fun fall. We've added the Pear flavored truffle. It was a special request from Julian's Restaurant in Potsdam, which will be featuring it as one of their fall drink specials... so be sure to stop in there and check it out. They will also have an apple carmel drink special with a St. Lawrence Chocolate garnish.

We will also be creating the chocolate fish for the St. Lawrnece County Chamber of Commerce's Annual Dinner in October. They are solid chocolates shaped like a fish. These go along with their new FISHCAP initiative to bring more anglers to St. Lawrence County for fishing.

This holiday season we will be featuring a new 24 piece sampler box, which will have 24 different flavors rather than two of our original 12 flavors... and a flavor key to identify them all!

Spring Fling

Spring Fling begins in Potsdam on April 24. It's a celebration of spring, Earth Day, and just a chance to get out and roam the village. Play the Facade Game, by visiting participating businesses, getting your game board stamped and your name goes in for a $100 Village Gift Certificate... and of course St. Lawrence Chocolate gladly accepts those.

We have some great specials going on in the shop. Some chocolate 50% off. We also will have a wide variety of samples, so try something you've not been too sure about, like our new dark chocolate pink peppercorns. They are made by Kopper's of Staten Island, NY. Nice kick.

We also have great new sugar cookie pops... Made by Mimi's Cookies in Massena, NY. Very yummy and beautiful. And Sevey's Shortbread is back, dipped in dark chocolate.

Experimenting with some new flavors here in the shop. The Flavor of the Month is Louisville Lemon, a lemon cream in a dark mint chocolate, very refreshing.

And next month is pina colata in milk chocolate.

Stop in say "Hi" and give us a try.

On to Easter

Just to reflect Valentine's Day was great.. the shop was all decked out in red, and heart-shaped boxes abound on the shelves. It was a great weekend.

On our way to that chocolate bunny season, we will pause briefly in March to take note of St. Patrick's day. We will have claddaugh solid disks wrapped in green and gold... your own pot of gold if you wish. We are also going to try our hand at Guinness Truffles this year. Should have those ready by the second week in March.

The bunny's have already started to multiply in the shop! And NEW this year will be a couple of sizes of solid bunnies. Our largest will still be a semi-solid because of its size. The two smallest are 5.5 oz. each. They are two different shapes and we will have them in milk, dark and white. Very cute!

The next size up solid will be about 7-8 ounces in one style same as one of the smallest and the largest so you can have the entire family of bunnies in the basket.

We have also added lambs to the line-up this year. One is about 6 ounces solid and standing, and then we have a set of three small pieces packaged together.

And of course we will be working with Raquette River Basket Company to put together some pre-made Easter baskets with bunnies, Jelly Belly Jelly Beans and our other specialties.

Valentine's Day 2010

Just saying that Valentines Day is just around the corner. We will have 29 piece hearts, and much more. Check back with us soon.
