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.

The Pickle Juice Company Review

By
How many of you are super athletic and active during the summer months? I used to be...prior to having children and now, it seems I chase them all around so that counts as something, right? One concern that many athletes and active people have during the summer is hydration and the risk of dehydration, especially if you live in a hot/tropical climate. We life in NY state so we have four full seasons, our summers can be hot and humid and if you are active, that can be challenging. The other issue that many run into is having a sports drink that can replenish and refresh their system that is gluten free and healthy for them too. Food allergies can limit the choices when it comes to hydration drinks. So, today I am going to introduce you to The Pickle Juice Company . This company specializes in gluten-free sports drinks that will stop muscle cramps in their tracks and keep you hydrated and refreshed no matter what activities you are participating in this summer! Before I continue wi...

Carmex Healing Lotion & Healing Cream Review

By
Because I am a member of the Carmex Blog Squad , I am informed of and privileged to bring you reviews of Carmex's newest products! This is something that I have been doing for awhile and have really grown to love the Carmex brand. The newest products that have been introduced by Carmex are lovely and will definitely impress you as they have me. Because I am a mom, I wash my hands frequently. After diaper changes, before cleaning wounds, bathroom breaks, preparing food...all this requires clean hands. Because I usually apply lotion while I am moving and going from one thing to the next, I do not like a greasy lotion. I HATE applying a cream and having to "dry" my hands for the next half hour. What a perfectly good waste of time that is. So, I was wondering what Carmex would offer me in way of fast and quickly absorbing lotion. Before I continue, here is a bit more about Carmex for those of you who are new to their brand... Carmex® lip balm was invented in 1...

Cafe Press Review

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...
