The Original Cow Pie is Wisconsin’s finest export since “Laverne and Shirley.” It’s a heavy-duty hunka mind-blowing confection—and one that I don’t recommend eating within an hour of jogging (which, unfortunately, is exactly what I did this morning).
But what is “The Original Cow Pie?” From the box, I quote:
“Rich Chocolate.”
“Creamy Caramel.”
“Fresh Pecans.”
“Featuring Wisconsin Milk & Butter.”
“From America’s Dairyland.”
Yep…in India, they cook on cow pies. In Wisconsin (and now, Spain), they eat them.
Now, you’re probably asking yourself, “Are Cow Pies really sold in Spain?”
Nope…they aren’t. I received three of these babies in the mail this morning from my good friend (and good samaritan) Lisa—Wisconsin’s finest citizen since…since…“Laverne and Shirley.”
Gracias, Lisa! I don’t think I’ll need any Conguitos this week.
Sal, So glad we did your little candy swap this year. Are you sharing them with the family…or are you doing what I did with the Conguitos…hiding them for your own guilty pleasure. I won’t tell if you don’t.
Oh…let’s just say that there’s no need to hide or share them anymore.
So, how about the weather we’re having…
146 lbs. and counting…
WOW i haven’t had these since I wento Michigan…Yes they are pretty darn good! I wish they had them here in California! WHAAA!!!
I think I am going to have a blast going through your blog. 🙂
That name reminds me of this chicken shack we had back in my neighborhood in Philly…. Cluck-U-Chicken.

We have that here too. I havent been there in years!
MILLS! I didn’t know you knew about these things! I dunno Sal, I adore Spanish chocolate with crusty bread. I think God keeps a supply of both in his pantry… Spanish almonds… Spanish pastries… Spanish ice cream… ::sigh::

One of my old law school classmates told me there’s a famous liquor store in Beaver, PA. You can probably figure out the rest on your own.

PS: I doubt it’s true, since PA only sells booze in state-run stores. Still, it was a clever urban legend.
A friend of mine living in Texas sent me some of those cow pies for Christmas. We don’t have anything similar to that in Belgium. OH MY GOD they are sooooo scrumptious!!!!!
Hey Tine:
Forget about Cow Pies. Did you take those photos on your blog?!
You, my friend, are going straight to my sidebar.
Sal
Yep Sal, they are all taken by me 🙂 and I couldn’t resist eating one of those cow pies just a minute ago ;-p
