I’ve noticed a lot of talk in the comment section that we’ve reached the final mecca for chocolate lovers in the new DQ Blizz - the Midnight Truffle Blizzard treat. Well, I’ve never met a chocolate lover quite like Rachel…
I’m a Blizzard addict. People generally think of me as a good person - someone who remembers to change the toilet paper roll, sends birthday cards at the right time, gets mostly straight As. I don’t smoke. I’d die of an asthma attack if I did. I don’t drink. I’d rather get drunk on sugar. So sugar is my vice - it’s my high. And the best sort of high is a Blizzard high.
I live for the Chocolate Xtreme Blizzard. It’s so good I haven’t eaten any other kind of Blizzard since it came out. I bowed down in reverence when it arrived. It’s like God remembered I was the water girl because I couldn’t make the basketball team. Or that I was asthmatic kid out on the track that always got last. Or that I was a dorky nerd who fell second to my twin in the race for valedictorian. And to make up for it, He said, “hey, this kid deserves a slice of heaven early.”
The things I can do after consuming a Blizzard are near miracles. It was under the influence of a Blizzard that I got the closest I’ve ever come to completing a cartwheel. I can type 100 words per minute. I can juggle. I can almost whistle. I once rescued a fleeing soda bottle from being trampled by the wheels of a car.
There’s a DQ just a couple blocks from where I live right now. Even though I can’t see it from my window, I still see it. I have equated that red DQ sign to what the arches in heaven must look like. If I go too long in between Blizzards, sometimes I awake in the middle of the night in a cold sweat, my tongue reaching for a Blizzard that isn’t there.
The one just a couple blocks down isn’t a brazier. Winter’s tough. I actually go into mourning, wishing I had a red spoon I could pretend with.
Seriously, I can’t even eat chocolate pudding on its own anymore. I have to throw in chocolate chips or sprinkles or marshmallows - making it into some inferior form of the Blizzard. Yogurt on its own is now lame to me. I like my milkshakes chunky. Anything can be made better by putting pieces of candy into it.
I’d write more. But it’s Blizzard time. I’m drooling at the keyboard. Were I to write any more, I might get electrocuted before I even made it to DQ. And when I go, some time far from now when DQ has thought of something that tops the Chocolate Xtreme - if that’s even possible - I sure better have an ice cold Blizzard in my hands, that red sign welcoming me on in to heaven, where they serve up Blizzards morning day and night and even I can get my fill.
Wow, Rachel, those are some Xtreme words of passion! But about those homemade Blizz concoctions - they never work out. Leave the mixing to the pros.
Like I said at the top of the post, the Midnight Truffle is stirring up some chocolate-covered controversy. And it just might be more Xtreme than your Xtreme Blizz. Check out Ken’s column.
This might call for a Blizz-off. Chocolate Xtreme vs Midnight Truffle in a cocoa-crazed battle for the title of Most Chocolatey. May the best Blizz win!

Hi Blizz fans,
I love all the comments on Fanbook (Even if I don’t respond to them all, I read them all!). But sometimes, one of my Blizz buds writes something I think EVERYONE should see.
So check it out – Marsha left me this:
Dear Blizz Prez,
I am writing, not to take you down as President of the Fan Club, but to put my name in as a contender for the position of Vice President (or President of Vices, and blizzards are vices!!). I have many qualifications, which stand out above the other candidates, but one stands out above all others. My name! Blizz and Bliss! You see, blissful = joyful as blizzard = ecstasy!! Do you see the common elements here? The play on words? What fun we could have with this, and it could go on and on!! In addition to my being a joyful person, I have great skills in the office, being a former paralegal/office manager; I am friendly; I get along well with others; I have managerial skills, if necessary; I have college training; I am well rounded in my abilities and I love a challenge! I enjoy learning new tasks and I learn quickly. I have a “few year’s experience” at being 22 years old, so I haven’t forgotten what it is to be young and yet I also have the experiences of a much more “mature” person who can tackle whatever is put before her.
Do you see what is available to you here? You really don’t want to pass this up! It’s a once in a lifetime opportunity to get the best V.P. you can get with the neatest qualifications and the added bonus of a really cool last name that plays well with Blizz. What more could you ask for? I have it all, and more!! Not that I’m bragging, mind you. I just want you to realize that these opportunities don’t come around every day and I’m sure you don’t want to let this opportunity pass you by.
Also, as a Blizzard Afficianado, it is my firm belief that the Coconut Cream Pie flavor needs to be revisited, as I know many people who have been saying that they would like to have it as a choice again, including me. It is one of the best flavors DQ ever had, and to let it get away forever would be a great loss.
I will await your response to my letter. I look forward to your reply. Thank you for your time and attention to these matters.
Sincerely,
Marsha Bliss-Leighty
Wow! That’s a pretty strong case for Blizz VP. What do you think fans? Do you have any more questions for Marsha? What do you need from your Vice Prez?
