To celebrate the start of summer, Carvel has introduced a new line-up of ice cream treats made with Ghirardelli chocolate. The partnership between the two brands gives consumers a new way to enjoy their favorite brand of chocolate in the form of a delicious warm-weather treat.
The new Carvel line-up includes chocolate soft serve and hand-scooped ice cream, both of which are made with Ghirardelli chocolate. In addition to ice cream, the chain is also offering a Ghirardelli Shake, an ice cream sandwich called the Flying Saucer and a layered chocolate dessert dubbed the Sundae Dasher. Each of the new treats gives consumers a gourmet option when it comes to indulging in chocolatey ice cream desserts.
The co-branded ice cream line-up demonstrates how brands can work together to reinvigorate beloved food products such as soft serve ice cream.
