\"Dairy<\/p>\n

What is the Girl Scout Thin Mints Blizzard?<\/h3>\n

It is part of Dairy Queen\u2019s Summer Blizzard Menu, which is available two months before summer begins and includes this offering as the only new flavor of the six. As you surely have surmised by the name, this Blizzard includes vanilla soft serve with Girl Scout Thin Mints cookies and, importantly, as I will explain, cool mint.<\/p>\n

How is it?<\/h3>\n

\"Dairy<\/p>\n

Before I get to the taste, I must assure you that the accompanying photos are indeed of the correct Blizzard. When it was delivered to my table, complete with an enthusiastic upside-down flip from a friendly DQ employee, I figured perhaps a mistake had been made as I stared down at my oddly grayish treat. So, I think for the first time in my life, I made a deliberate attempt to smell a Blizzard, and it definitely had that familiar Thin Mints aroma.<\/p>\n

\"Dairy<\/p>\n

Confident that my order was right but still a bit perplexed by the color, I dug in. It tasted even better than it smelled and much better than it looked. This is coming from someone who likes Thin Mint cookies but doesn\u2019t love them (and no, I even don\u2019t love them straight from the freezer). Thin Mints are good \u2014 they are cookies, after all \u2014 but when I get guilted into buying Girl Scout cookies on a trip to the grocery store, I usually pick other varieties. So, this Blizzard had to prove its worthiness to me.<\/p>\n

If it simply had Thin Mints blended in, even perhaps with some chocolate, then I think it would be pretty average. But with the addition of cool mint, which in the ingredients on the DQ website is listed as creme de menthe topping, it jumps up several levels. The flavor is a bit mintier than simply biting into a Thin Mint, but it is by no means overpowering, so the chocolate and more subdued mintiness of the cookie is still there.<\/p>\n

\"Dairy<\/p>\n

Thin Mints also have a great texture for Blizzards, as they are not too crunchy but firm enough to hold up well in the ice cream. I was a bit surprised how much I liked this, especially given my neutral stance on Thin Mints.<\/p>\n

Anything else you need to know?<\/h3>\n

I really cannot fully explain why my Blizzard was more gray than green, although the green color in the DQ advertising is somewhat muted, so the color difference was not that great after comparing the two. Plus, my Blizzard did get a bit greener as I got toward the bottom, so an uneven mix was likely at play too. But I don\u2019t buy a Blizzard to look at it, so if it tastes good, I don\u2019t care what color it is.<\/p>\n

Conclusion:<\/h3>\n

If you really dislike Thin Mints, then take a gander at the five other options on the summer menu, but if you like Thin Mints even a little bit, then I think you\u2019ll give this one a big thumbs up. And if you really love Thin Mints, you might even use both thumbs.<\/p>\n
