Dream Blizzard

Spring was always an exciting time of year.

Not because of spring cleaning, or rain or the blooming of flowers. Spring was special for one reason only: Girl Scout Cookies.

Every spring, Girl Scouts appear out of no where. Like a herd of stampeding cattle they show up on the side of the street, in front of grocery stores, and in your office buildings. At every destination they only have one goal in mind: sell Girl Scout cookies.

When we were kids, my Dad's office was no different and one magical day in March he would come home with boxes upon boxes of Girl Scout cookies. Then, the fight began. My brother and I only liked two kinds of cookies: Tagalongs and Thin Mints. Not trusting one another we would split the boxes evenly and take our portion of boxes up to our rooms and hide them.

There was always one problem: my brother never changed his hiding spot. So, it didn't take me long to find them and once I finished off my boxes I slowly finished his as well....taking one cookie at a time very slowly. Evil, I know.

To this very day I adore Tagalong Girl Scout Cookies. The rich chocolate combined with the crunchy cookie on the bottom and peanut butter inside tastes like a a piece of heaven.

For this reason, you can imagine how excited I was when Dairy Queen announced their Blizzard of the Month was a Tagalong Blizzard. Last night I got my first taste of the new Blizzard. I'll be honest, I am slightly bias. With my love for Tagalongs it was almost impossible for DQ to mess this up.

The Tagalong cookies were crushed up and the pieces of cookie, peanut butter and chocolate were blending in the DQ ice cream beautifully. The peanut butter and crunchy cookie all mixed up into the ice cream tasted even better than the cookie by itself. This was probably one of the best Blizzards I have ever had. In other words, this is a Tagalong lovers' dream blizzard. I'm petitioning DQ to move this Blizzard onto their menu permanently.

The bad news is, it's only here for a short time and once it's gone I doubt I'll be able to steal this Blizzard from my brother.
