Cowgirl Chocolates Review

By

Are you ready for a review that really packs a punch??? Well, here goes!

This past weekend, I received in the mail a box of chocolate truffles from Cowgirl Chocolates. I wasn't prepared for what happened after I opened the box. I took a bite of one, chewed a little, then WHAM!!!!! The zing hit me. I have NEVER tasted anything like it before...spicy chocolate! Who would have thought?!?

Actually, I did know that it was spicy chocolate before I bit into it, but I wasn't sure I would like it. The combination of sweet and spicy was actually very good...I was suprised. My husband LOVES LOVES LOVES spicy foods so when I offered him one, he was like, "What? It's hot? Chocolate??" Ha ha! Well, he took a bite and immediately told me that the rest of the box was for him. I didn't argue as I am currently nursing my four month old and didn't want to shock him too badly by eating 5 spicy truffles! LOL! But, if I wasn't nursing, I would have enjoyed a few more, that's for sure!

Cowgirl Chocolates really know how to catch your eye. The packaging was so cute...the box of chocolates was wrapped in red tissue paper, tied with a black ribbon with a little hat charm threaded through the ribbon. I don't know about you, but when I give a gift...presentation is EVERYTHING. Someone was really thinking about that when they designed the packaging of the box of chocolate that I received.

As far as gift options go, Cowgirl Chocolates has just about anything you would and could want. Some of their products include things like:


Whew...what a selection! And that is just a FEW of their products!!! Oh yes, they do offer a mild-mannered chocolate as well that isn't spicy. They also have gift baskets and large quantities to suit those of you who cannot eat just one of their chocolates!
Here is the story behind these fabulous sweets (hots!)...
"Head Cowgirl Marilyn Lysohir founded Cowgirl Chocolates in 1997. Her two favorite things in the world are art (she has a notable career as a ceramic sculptor) and chocolate. In fact her first job was working in a chocolate factory in Pennsylvania. Marilyn mingled some favorite memories with some new ideas to create an American original, Cowgirl Chocolates...chocolates with a spicy cowgirl kick. She was the pioneer, one of the first companies to offer spicy chocolates in the world.Cowgirl Chocolates has won a total of 19 product awards and 2 packaging awards and is located in Moscow, Idaho USA. It has also been featured on the Food Network on “Unwrapped” and “Extreme Cuisine” and on CNBC “On the Money”. They have also been written up in the New York Times, InStyle, the Toronto Star among others."

In my opinion, Cowgirl Chocolates truly is a unique company that offers a nice selection for those of us who like a little "bang" for our buck. These would also make GREAT Christmas gifts for those "hard to buy for" people on your list!
I loved what I received and am hoping that you stop over and take a look at what Cowgirl Chocolates has to offer YOU...you will not be disappointed! :)

    I also heard of spicy chocolates and that they were great. Poor baby would have gotten a upset tummy if you ate them, so you smart to pass on them.

***GIVEAWAY CLOSED*** Well, as you have probably noticed I do not have a shortage of lip balms in my house. I do have a sister who is crazy about lip balms too, so I make sure to pass on some of my goodies to her. My daughter is also really fond of these little sticks of balm too...and LOVES to put on like two or three inches of it when she is given the chance! As a Carmex Blog Squad Member , I am privileged to bring you new and exciting products that Carmex has recently released and they are NEVER a disappointment! So, this next review is brought to you by Carmex and is featuring their brand new Vanilla Twist and Lime Twist Ultra Moisturizing Lip Balms !

Cafe Press Review

By
Are any of you married to a computer guy ? Do you lovingly call him a "geek" sometimes? (my hand is raised here...LOL!) My husband is the most wonderful man in the world. He is funny, sincere, loving and VERY handy with the computer. I have issues sometimes with coding and am often heard calling "Honey? Can you come look at my blog? I don't know how to fix this!!!!" And, my charming prince comes to rescue me. My darling is going to be 31 in a week and I am SO excited to be able to celebrate another birthday with him. He also shares a birthday with our daughter which makes the day twice as fun. :) She has been talking about her birthday for WEEKS and cannot wait! This next review item is for him so if you know him (and I am hoping he doesn't read my blog for the next week :/) don't tell him about this!!!!!!!! If you are looking for perfect, unique and personalized gifts for someone special in your life I will tell you that after this post, you...

Sidral Mundet Mexican Soda Review & Giveaway {CLOSED}

By
***GIVEAWAY CLOSED*** Sooo, with summer coming to a dangerously quick end we are really trying to cook out more. We know that when the leaves start to fall and the snowflakes come that BBQ season will be over. I have always thought that it would be fun to cook out in the winter, with snow and all! Who knows, it may come to that one of these winters. Whenever we cook out I love to enjoy some sort of soda with my food. It just seems to "make" the BBQ and is also refreshing. It is even more of a treat because it is not something that we do often (drink soda, that is). When drinking soda, I don't always look for the natural stuff. Let's face it...sometimes it is easier to just grab whatever is closest and forget about natural goodness. I am bad about this. Finding healthier options for soda is always a goal of mine...although I am not always good at it. :) Today, I am going to introduce you to a Mexican soda that will change the way you think of soda. Sidral ...
