Cowgirl Chocolates Food Review

Giddy up, all you cowboys and cowgirls, and mosey on over to Cowgirl Chocolates! What a truly unique company!

Their specialty is hot chocolate. Now, slow down there cow poke. We don't mean the ol' fashion cocoa in a cup hot chocolate, no siree. We're talking about spicy, rich, fire hot chocolate in the form of truffles, chocolate bars, caramels, clusters and dessert sauces!

How 'bout a little habanero pepper added to your deep rich milk chocolate? Or maybe a fiery blend of lime, tequila and dark chocolate with just a hint of spice? Yearning to saddle up and hit the mountain trail? Don't forget to bring along a bar of wild mountain huckleberry blended with spicy deep chocolate!

Not quite ready to ride with the big boys? That's okay. Cowgirl Chocolates offers some mild-mannered treats for you less than daring cow hands. Milk chocolate and sarsaparilla? That's root beer, right? Or for the gentle ladies and men, maybe a hint of organic lavender oil  with deep dark chocolate?

The style, the packaging and the presentation of Cowgirl Chocolates is nothing short of impressive. They offer dozens of ways to purchase their now famous chocolate products. Truffle tins, Trail ridin' bags, Leather Keepsake boxes, Hand painted Rustic boxes, Signature Bar Buckets, Sparkle 'n Shine Gift Boxes, eve lunch boxes and cosmetic cases. Really, they have thought of everything, and put it all together like a well worn saddle on a wild horse.

Listen, if you know of a cowgirl that deserves some recognition, let them know over at the Cowgirl Chocolate ranch...they just might be interested in showcasing her as Cowgirl of the Month. I'm pretty sure that's how Annie Oakley got her start. Saddle up, and git goin' to Cowgirl Chocolates!

Chocolate Gourmet's Ugly Truffles and Damn Good Cookies...

We have discovered a gem. A sweet-lover's paradise. We have found ChocolateGourmet.com and the fabulous treats they offer!

They call their hand rolled truffles "ugly truffles" (we don't agree!) and their rich, buttery cookies "damn good cookies" (we agree!). Now, the name calling doesn't stop there. There are cookies called chubby wubby chocolate, overprotective pecan, rockabye raspberry, controlling coconut, and maternal macadamia nut. Can't you just imagine some great occasions to send these to someone befitting the name??

And it's not enough that these poor truffles are called ugly..listen to what else they're called. Homely Hazelnut? Hairy Coconut? Messed up Mocha? Put your clothes on Chocolate? You Suck Lemon! They've got to be sporting a complex! Regardless of their names, they are simply delicious!

The tasty cookies are fresh baked and delivered the very same day. Flaky, homemade, rich in flavor. And every cookie has a special touch..bittersweet ganache, crisp coconut, homemade raspberry preserve. As close to visiting your neighborhood bakery that you are ever going to get. And that's if you still have a neighborhood bakery.

   

The truffles are smooth, rich and creamy and each one totally different than the next. Two surprises were the Morning After Merlot...merlot ganache surrounded with bittersweet chocolate and rolled in red velvet cake crumbs, and Gordito Picante...smooth cinnamony Mexican chocolate warmed with chili spices and surrounded in milk chocolate and ground tortillas! How did they ever think those up?

ChocolateGourmet.com also offers homemade rugelach...you know those little rolled sweet cream cheese pastries filled with luscious fillings? Like apricot, cherry and hazelnut!

And if you are looking for wedding favors, or corporate gifts customized for your occasion...well, they will happily oblige!

The packaging is unique, the buying options numerous, the baked goods phenomenal. so...what are you waiting for? Visit www.chocolategourmet.com and remember to add them to your favorites. We guarantee you will visit often.
