Erin of Doctor Food has been a blogger friend of ours, almost since the beginning of FoodMayhem. She knows us well and knew that we’d love Cowgirl Chocolates, so she generously sent us a bunch of flavors to try. Thank You!
What a variety of interesting flavors: Mild Milk Chocolate Sasparella (Erin and Lon’s favorite) that tastes like chocolate root beer in a bar. Spicy Dark Lime Tequila that tastes exactly as described. We weren’t huge fans of the Mild Dark Chocolate Lavender, seemingly made with a whole basket of potpourri, but we unexpectedly loved the Mild White Chocolate Lemonade. At first, I thought – gross! But, it’s a light lemon, creamy frosting, in bar form. I couldn’t complain about that right?
The spicy ones are spicy. Whoohoo! The Habanero Caramels and the Spicy Habanero Organic Orange Espresso, shaped like red daisies, had real kick. (We’ve had many disappointing chili chocolates where can’t even taste any chili.)
The Spicy Raspberry Dark Chocolate Truffles have a medium heat with a smooth, fruity, and sticky center.
Overall, we were impressed. In addition to these chocolates having fun, original flavors, the chocolate itself is very good and the careful balancing of flavors makes Cow Girl Chocolates more than just kitschy. To top it off, good prices make this a perfect gift for adventurous chocolate lovers. Thanks again Erin!
FoodMayhem Meet-Up
I really can’t believe how many amazing friends we’ve made through FoodMayhem, so we’re thinking about setting up our first FoodMayhem Meet-Up! We’re shooting for Saturday, October 17th (in NYC) and it would be really helpful if we could get an idea of how many people would be interested in the meet-up so I can pick an appropriate place. You can leave a comment or fill out the contact form. Can’t wait to meet some of you in person!

The white chocolate lemonade really is a surprise, isn’t it? I’m only sorry I never tried it until just recently when someone offered me a bite. The lavender really is overpowering, and I sometimes feel like I’m eating perfume. Gah. Yay for spice–I’m usually really disappointed in spicy chocolates.
How did you like the huckleberry? It’s kind of a northwest thing to have everything available in huckleberry(and I mean *everything*). Glad you enjoyed!!
I am interested in the meetup. 🙂
EMC, we liked the huckleberry. It’s not definitively huckleberry though, more like any good berry chocolate (with spice). This was really a treat for us. Thanks again!
Scrumptious chocolates! Wish I was in Nyc so I can meet you!
MMMMMMMM,…all of the chocolates look yummie!!
Oh yay! I’m so excited those are getting famous. They’re delicious. My first job ever in Junior High was working for the woman who makes them 🙂
So far, there’s been 2 LA meet ups, and they’re always fun. Next one will be in October too!
Natasha, let me know next time you come to NY!
Alexandria, that must have been loads of fun!
Duo Dishes, I wish I could go back to LA in October. =(
White chocolate lemonade? Spicy raspberry dark chocolate truffle? Oh my, I’ve got to try those!
I am in the NY area and would love to come to the meet up 🙂
Being that I’m a chocoholic, I’ll definitely be ordering these! Thanks for the tip.
