Graeter's Ice Cream's limited-time Frozen Hot Chocolate flavor.

Graeter's Ice Cream has announced the second of five limited-time bonus flavors and this one is a delicious chocolate treat.

The local favorite French pot ice cream maker is releasing five secret bonus flavors this year, and it has just unveiled the second: Frozen Hot Chocolate.

Graeter's describes the flavor as a “decadent combination of rich milk chocolate ice cream, marshmallows and a hint of spice.”

Each bonus flavor remains a secret until the day of its release, and will only be available for a limited time. Graeter's says "once the flavor is gone from scoop shops and online, the flavor is retired for the year."

The first flavor of this secret series, announced on May 16, was Strawberry Cheesecake.

Frozen Hot Chocolate is available now at Graeter's ice cream shops and graeters.com.

23 Essential Cincinnati Creamy Whips You Need to Visit This Summer

Whipty-Do! 2529 Montgomery Road, Maineville Whipty-Do! opened its doors in May of 2009, when owners Joe and Kristen Fields turned their love of ice cream into a colorful brick-and-mortar shop. They began serving blue ice cream in 2010, and customers drive from as far as Columbus and Indianapolis to stock up on the stuff with coolers and dry ice in tow.
Cowboy Cones 508 N. Wyoming Ave., Wyoming An HVAC salesman and the owner of Wyoming Heating and Air one day realized that Wyoming was in desperate need of some ice cream. They took it upon themselves to create Cowboy Cones, a cow print-covered ice cream stop that serves up sundaes, shakes, floats, tons of imaginative ice cream flavors, and of course, creamy whips. The shop offers up 14 rotating flavors of creamy soft serve that can be topped or swirled to create the perfect flavor. For those who don’t eat dairy, Cowboy Cones serve a few flavors of soy-based ice cream. Putz's Creamy Whip 2673 Putz Place, East Westwood/Northside Putz’s Creamy Whip has been in the family since the day Constantine and Anna Putz opened their first trolley car walk-up ice cream window in 1938. The Putz as we know it — now in a square concrete structure just down the hill from Mt. Airy Forest — is a scoop of summer nostalgia served with a smile. Not much about this place has changed over the past several decades. Of the current generation, Putz descendant Mindy Borgman has been cranking out cones at the creamy whip for the last few decades — all on the same Electro-Freeze machine. Another tradition? Putz’s is cash-only. Despite the hoopla about the vintage ice cream machine and vanilla soft serve, the pineapple sherbet is a must. It is creamy like soft serve and tangy like, well, pineapple. “Face cones” are also a hot commodity at Putz’s. The soft-serve cones are adorned with Necco wafer ears and mysteriously crunchy candy googly eyes. Piper's Cafe and Ice Cream Bar 520 W 6th St., Covington Piper’s Cafe in Covington serves up 70 soft serve flavors, which can be blended with one to three additional flavors, meaning the menu offers 60,000 possible blends. Their flavors range from the traditional to egg nog, pumpkin pie, papaya, licorice, jalapeno and more. For adults, they have a full bar plus booze-infused ice cream treats, offering everything from the Northern Kentucky ice balls to ice cream floats. Loveland Dairy Whip 611 W Loveland Ave., Loveland A former Dairy Whip and hamburger stand that opened on the Fourth of July in the 1950s, Loveland Dairy Whip now specializes in creamy soft serve ice cream made with a thick and creamy Dairyman's blend. With chocolate, vanilla and twist cones, plus chocolate, cherry and butterscotch dip top — and a cake batter dip top — or sprinkles, the whip offers a taste of nostalgia. They also have a drive-thru. Mt. Healthy Dairy Bar 7840 Hamilton Ave., Mount Healthy While they famously serve two-pound monster cones for dirt cheap, their rotating sherbet flavors are to die for. They offer a farmers market variety of flavors throughout the summer: Wild Mountain Blackberry, Bold Black Cherry, Lucky Lime and Perfect Pineapple to name a few. The Bold Black Cherry tastes uncannily like a cherry Starburst. Silver Grove Dari Bar 5178 Mary Ingles Highway, Silver Grove This little walk-up classic creamy whip in Northern Kentucky has tons of amazing options. If you're a fan of Graeter's black raspberry chocolate chip, opt for one of the Dari Bar's hot fudge sundaes topped with black raspberry. Or a black raspberry blitz — their take on a Blizzard. In addition to soft serve, the Dari Bar offers burgers, sandwiches, coneys, actual footlong footlongs and cheese fries.
