It’s almost that time…
You know, new month, NEW BLIZZARD OF THE MONTH.
From the comments I see there’s a lot of Blizz love for the Midnight Truffle Blizzard treat. Thanks fans! Glad you like it.
And because of your great response…MORE TRUFFLES! Yep, the May Blizzard of the Month is going to be filled with tiny pillows of decadent chocolately deliciousness too.
But can you guess the other ingredient? And no, Larry, it’s not bacon.

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!

Hey Blizz fans,
Kim emailed me asking about a section where fans can suggest flavors or make a plea for an old favorites return. AWESOME IDEA, Kim. I’ll see what I can do.
But, until then, start COMMENTING. Blizzard brainstorm! What’s your idea of a perfect Blizz?

Hey fans, April (yes, that’s really her name) has a great idea!
She said she’s been making BLIZZARD BETS with her husband for 17 years. Whenever they have a disagreement – y’know little things like who sings a certain song or what year something happened – they reward the winner with a TASTY Blizz. Good thinkin’…even the loser gets to go to DQ!
Well, April, you better brush up on your trivia, because whoever wins this month will be treated like royalty with the NEW Blizzard of the Month–the Midnight Truffle Blizzard treat. Rich truffle pieces….dark cocoa fudge….creamy vanilla soft serve… MWAH! An exquisite delicacy fit for the winner of a Blizz bet! I can see you scooping up your winnings from your rightful throne now.
So fans, what’s your BLIZZ BET?

Y’all have sent in some CRAZY stuff, but I only have so much space in my monthly emails. But…NOW WE HAVE THE FANBOOK! So I can write posts as long as I want…and you can send whatever you want - songs, poems, novellas, epic tales of Blizz love, ANYTHING!
Need inspiration? Well, this is an email my bacon-lovin’ Blizz bud, Larry, sent in. CHECK IT OUT!
Hello Blizz Prez,
I cannot describe to you the massive number of bacon flavored Blizzard treats I would drink. And also the number that everyone I know would drink.
Imagine all the goodness of crispy, delicious, not soft, not burnt bacon hot off the grill, but in a lightly swirled bed of sweet yummy soft serve. Truly this would be the manna of the Gods, fit for no less than that ultimate bacon lover, Apollo, himself. This would be a flavor customers would demand again, month after month, toward eternity, until humanity evolves out of the need for a mouth.
Please, benevolent flavor dictators, give me a bacon Blizzard treat. My life will never be complete without such a wondrous, perfect concoction.
Sincerely,
Larry Fine
Wondrous? Benevolent? Concoction? You just earned, like, four triple-word scores.
Whaddya think, BFC…is the world ready to dip their red spoons into crisp bacon pieces crumbled and tumbled in creamy DQ soft serve? Hmmm…this may take some DQ test kitchen research.
But until then, Larry – how’s this for some sizzlin’ style? I’m sure you’d turn some heads at your local DQ.

Who is Ken Hoffman? A Houstonian? A reporter? A Houston-based reporter? An ultimate Blizz fan? Yes. Yes. Yes. And yes.
But most importantly, Ken Hoffman is a man who loves chocolate and isn’t afraid to shout it from the top of a mountain of soft serve deliciousness – drizzled with hot fudge, of course. Which is what makes him a true Midnight Truffle Blizzard treat lover.
Check out Ken’s homage to this chock-full-of-chocolate creation – AKA the APRIL BLIZZARD OF THE MONTH.
Wow, Ken, that was quite the ode to the Midnight Truffle Blizzard treat. And coming from a chocolate lover like you (really? A chocolate syrup faucet? We’re going to have to get one of those installed in the test kitchen). I know we must have tapped into the chocolate-filled veins of the true chocoholic Blizz fan. SUCCESS!
So, fans, what’s your opinion? You don’t have to be a reporter to confess your love for the almighty Blizz – that’s why we have the Fanbook! Leave your love in the COMMENTS!
