Yup, it's here...the unofficial start to summer, Memorial Day weekend. While we are taking a couple of days off, and the shop will be closed Monday 26th, as well as June 2-3. We have some great party products in the shop including the very popular Warmer S'more Pops (two marshmellows on a stick, dipped in milk chocolate and rolled in graham cracker crumbs.) It tastes like the delicious fire-side treat, but with out the gooey mess...just delicious.
We also have bagged solids in flower shapes, as well as flower pops... great for a backyard picnic.
We are going to do a special for Potsdam Summer Festival. Chocolate dipped strawberries. Dunked fresh each day, (if we can get some nice berries). We did a trial run on a recent Saturday and the customers said they were absolutely amazing. They have a very short shelf life, so we have to do a limited time run on these. Be sure to check in the shop on July 10-12 during the festival.
And just in case you are counting, we now have 12 flavors of truffles!! Love those merlot, and Bailey's Irish cream ones.
Hope everyone has a wonderful summer, and remember we are worth the trip and the price of gas.

Cinco de Maio
It's hard to believe it's May already. The shop has been bustling with activity. Wedding orders here, rehearsal dinner orders there. Valentine's Day in February was very busy, as was the early Easter in March. We have just caught our breath and now we are gearing up for a big Food and Wine Show in Clayton, NY.
The Great New York State Food and Wine Show is held June 20-22 at the Clayton Recreation Park. Wineries, cheese makers and foodies from all over check this one out. Great Finger Lakes wines, local 1000 Islands wineries are all on had with tastings and sales. We checked it out last year and decided we wanted to share St. Lawrence Chocolates with everyone there as well.
We are currently using wines from River Myst Winery in Ogdensburg, NY to make a few special truffles for them including: Black Lake Berry Wine Truffles, Barnhardt Black Cherry, and Red Mills Red Merlot Truffles. These all have a very rich flavor with the hint of their wine.
We are also experimenting with some special summer flavors: key lime, margarita, and iced tea. If you're in the area check in the shop to see what's new.
We are also waiting for local strawberry season to offer chocolate dipped strawberries. We've had a lot of requests, and want to do offer them when local berries are ready and plentiful.
Do you have an idea for a flavor? Drop us an email to ellen@stlawrencechocolates.com.
