In 1997, Cowgirl Chocolates was founded by "Head Cowgirl" Marilyn Lysohir who has two passions; Art (she's also a ceramic sculptor), and you guessed it, chocolate. A lot of the confections offered in the store have a spicy kick, so when Marilyn offered to send me some to try, my curiosity peaked. Spicy chocolate, you say? The mailman left a small box at my door the other day and when I opened it, I found this lovely gift inside.
Inside this little box was a truffle sampler, four spicy and four mild. That box is empty now. While the spicy versions were not my favorite, they were still chocolate! The most creamy, decadent and flavorful truffles I've had the pleasure of seeking my teeth in. If chocolate isn't your thing (Gasp!), the Cowgirl also offers peanut brittle, caramels an dessert sauces.
BUY IT! You won't be disappointed. Cowgirl Chocolates has won 16 product awards and 2 packaging awards and is located in Moscow, Idaho USA. It has also been featured on the Food Network's “Unwrapped” and “Extreme Cuisine” and in the New York Times and Toronto Star to name a few.
WIN IT! One lucky reader will receive a 1/3 pound sampler box!
To Enter: Mosey on over to the website and have a look around. I reckon you'll find somethin' else you'd like there. Just tell me what it is!
