[QUOTE=Baron] Haven’t tried the chocolate ginger Altoids yet, but has anyone tried the Choxie “Hot Chocolate” with chipotle pepper in it from Target? It’s quite crack-like as well. [/QUOTE] Next time, get the Choxie artisan truffles. I adore the Choxie line, and the truffles are awesome. Fiery pineapple, pomegranate, cinnamon, caramel, and much more. SO AWESOME. **Bites When Provoked** , **jjimm** , **Dr\_Paprika** , or other non-USians, I’d be happy to ship you an Altoids variety. I love them, and I’d love to spread the love. ---

Amusingly, right around the same time this thread started, I posted this [this entry](http://opalcat.livejournal.com/2007/01/24/) to my journal… hmmm ---

OK, where’d the damn things go? I told a friend of mine about them, and she wants to try them, but we’ve been unable to find 'em at all! Not even the non-chocolate ginger ones. All we could find in the chocolate variety was the coated peppermints! ---

[QUOTE=Baron] Haven’t tried the chocolate ginger Altoids yet, but has anyone tried the Choxie “Hot Chocolate” with chipotle pepper in it from Target? It’s quite crack-like as well. [/QUOTE] Ooohh…sounds interesting. I’ve already professed my love for the chocolate giner altoids, but I might have to make a trip to Target later to try some of that Choxie. Which I’ve mostly avoided because the name annoys me, I’ll admit. I’ve only bought the altoids at Walgreens, but I think Trader Joe’s carries them as well. That’s the only place I can ever find the liquorice altoids, anyway. ---

My Trader Joe’s doesn’t have them, but I have seen them at Marc’s which is a deep discount store. ---

Thanks for the offer **Bambi Hassenpfeffer** , but the charming **Ruby** has already offered. (Of course I could just keep my mouth shut and get Altoids off both of you, but that wouldn’t be cricket.) ---

Bought another tin of the cinnamon tonight, and a lurker has offered me a tin of the ginger…I’m seriously hooked now. ---

They’re still at my local Food City. I picked up an tin on my way through today, just to make sure I don’t run out. ---

Love the peppermint ones-I’ll have to try the others as well. Great for when you have a craving for sweets and they fit right in the pocket of my lab coat. ---

[/QUOTE] …and they’re in the mail so as long as the international postal service on either side of the pond doesn’t screw it up, you should be enjoying them very shortly!
