The factory store for Lake Champlain Chocolates in Burlington is not only a sweet shop but it's where all the company's chocolate treats are made.
Suzie Feick is visiting from California with her husband and explains - this is a first for them, "I have never been to a chocolate factory and we have traveled all over the world. So it's very interesting to see it. I happen to be a (chocolate) addict"
The interactive lecture style tours are free and happen during the week when the factory is working. A tour guide teaches you the history of chocolate and history of Lake Champlain Chocolates. It's also an opportunity to learn and taste some new treats.
But what's so special about chocolate?Meghan Fitzpatrick of Lake Champlain Chocolates says, "…chocolate makes people happy! Sometimes it can relax people, I can use it as a stress reliever".
Halloween is around the corner but the factory is already on to the next season.
"We do have to be ahead of the holidays… so we're making turkeys. Thanksgiving is about a month away so those are pretty fresh turkey's chocolates that have a long shelf life" says Fitzpatrick.
During the weekend, the store is open and the factory is not running. The store still offers free samples to the public
