\"Dairy<\/p>\n

Strawberries and chocolate are as synonymous with Valentine\u2019s Day as the Patriots are to the Super Bowl. Siding with the 99 percent of the country that does not associate romance with Tom Terrific emblazoned bed sheets, Dairy Queen is taking inspiration from the chocolate-covered fruit for February\u2019s Blizzard of The Month -\u2014 Dipped Strawberry with Ghirardelli Blizzard. <\/p>\n

An apparent upgrade of the bygone Choco Chunk Strawberry Blizzard, this treat features strawberry topping blended with vanilla soft serve and Ghirardelli chocolate chunks along with a sexier title. \u00a0<\/p>\n

\"Dairy<\/p>\n

With a creamy pink pelagic canvas bestrewn with dark chocolate isles and ruby red strawberry reefs, it certainly looks like a dessert from Cupid\u2019s freezer. The vanilla base combined with the strawberry syrup create a flavor closer to the fruit\u2019s Fragaria roots than that of artificial chemical. <\/p>\n

\"Dairy<\/p>\n

As for the advertised Ghirardelli pieces, they come in both dark and white chocolate and are immediately recognizable as the genuine article. The occasional strawberry chunk and bitter chocolate pairing is as good as a Brady to Gronk Iso slant, but unlike their NFL counterparts, the connection is infrequent. <\/p>\n

\"Dairy<\/p>\n

The chocolate pieces are smaller and more numerous which leads to many bites of bitter chocolate that overwhelm the strawberry topping alone. The white chocolate chips on the other hand deserve their own Lombardi, but they are too sparse for my liking. I found only three or four of them in my bowl, but the hint of buttery flavor meshed exceptionally well with the other elements.<\/p>\n

Overall, the topping and fruit pieces create a delightful base and the Ghirardelli chocolate pieces are the real deal if a little darker than I would have liked. Quasi-retuning flavor or not, I\u2019m glad DQ opted to give us the holiday-inspired Dipped Strawberries and Ghirardelli Chocolate over something more novel like \u201cBrady\u2019s Deflated Brownie Bash.\u201d<\/p>\n
