Cowgirl Chocolates Review and Giveaway! - CLOSED!

I LOVE chocolate! I was very happy to be given the opportunity to review Cowgirl Chocolates! I was sent a Cowgirl Signature Wrap Truffle Box to review. I was delighted with the wonderful flavors! A couple of the chocolates I tried were spicy, yes I said spicy! I was a little surprised at first by the flavor, but then I liked it! If you don't like spicy foods then the spicy chocolates may not be for you, but Cowgirl Chocolates has a flavor for everyone! They have regular non-spicy chocolates too!


From the Company:

The Head Cowgirl - Marilyn Lysohir

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.
