Other honors include “Best of the Region” by Yankee magazine’s Travel Guide to New England, “Top 25 Picks for Kids” by the Vermont Chamber of Commerce Winter Guide 2003 and “The world’s finest chocolate…” by The Boston Globe magazine. LCC is well known for its gift baskets and handcrafted uniqueness on the chocolates.
