What’s bet­ter than choco­late? New Mex­ico choco­late! Sspecif­i­cally, local hand­made choco­lates with red and green chile.

Señor Murphy’s is a 40-year-old Santa Fe Plaza tra­di­tion trans­planted to ‘Burque with shops at Coranado and Cot­ton­wood Malls and the Sunport.

Start your own cult fol­low­ing by hit­ting up the air­port loca­tion (a kiosk  past secu­rity) for awe­some host­ess gifts like green chile jelly and piñon brit­tle before you board the plane. (Hey, it’s a lot eas­ier than try­ing to sneak Sadie’s salsa through security.)

Even if you’re not a chile + choco­late fan, the gift boxes of tra­di­tional choco­lates are an easy fes­tive NM gift for your gringo friends.
