Here in Vermont, one of the best is Lake Champlain Chocolates (available online here) There is a restaurant (The Ice House) down on the waterfront, and the fellow who made their desserts came up with truffles that were so astoundingly good that he eventually left the restaurant to go into business as a chocolatier. The nice thing about the Lake Champlain Chocolates is that they are wonderfully fresh, and that makes a huge difference in taste. I used to bring them down to my German-born chocolate freak connosseur friend who lived right near my son's college in Maryland whenever we'd end up visiting him. These occasions were rare, and she kept hinting that it would be nice if we would just visit him a bit more often so we could see each other and I could bring her more chocolate.
