Based on its Five Star Bar format, Lake Champlain Chocolates collaborated with the Burlington Discover Jazz Festival (BDJF) to create a bite-sized chocolate bar, as both parties are celebrating 35th anniversaries.
The 'Bar35' is a small and mighty treat that promises to be packed with flavor, as it is loaded with honey-infused caramel, roasted peanut butter and milk chocolate-covered salted pretzels. Together, the combination of flavors is meant to put a sophisticated take on nostalgic childhood flavors.
As well as helping to satisfy one's sweet tooth, the limited-edition Bar35 also supports BDJF’s Artist-in-Residence program. For a short time in June, the decadent, bite-sized bar can be found through various Lake Champlain Chocolates locations, online and the Flynn Center for the Performing Arts in Burlington, Vermont.
