OKLAHOMA CITY - Dec. 29, 2014 // PRNewswire // - Orange Leaf Frozen Yogurt has teamed up with the legendary Ghirardelli® Chocolate Company to bring the richest, most perfectly balanced froyo to America's chocolate lovers. As part of the partnership, Orange Leaf has created three decadent flavors that will be featured at all of the more than 300 participating Orange Leaf locations from Dec. 29 to March 1. The flavors include White Chocolate Flavored Strawberry made with Ghirardelli, White Chocolate Flavored Raspberry made with Ghirardelli and Chocolate made with Ghirardelli.

Each participating Orange Leaf location will feature at least two of the three "made with Ghirardelli" flavors from now through the month of February. Customers may remember the Chocolate made with Ghirardelli froyo when it was originally introduced as a limited time offer in February 2014 as part of Orange Leaf's "Year of the Flavor" campaign.

The three flavors join the ranks of other customer favorites at Orange Leaf such as Salted Caramel, which was voted by customers as the best new flavor in 2014, as part of its Year of the Flavor campaign. Customers become the chef when creating their own froyo treats, choosing from their local store's customer-driven selection of 16 flavors, taken from the menu of 70 plus, including no-sugar-added, gluten-free, dairy-free and vegan alternatives. These flavors are blended in proprietary machines that create a richer and creamier product than other froyo brands.

"We are excited that the two innovative teams at Orange Leaf and Ghirardelli could come together to create Chocolate and White Chocolate flavored frozen yogurt made with Ghirardelli," said Chris Eklem, vice president of Ghirardelli Chocolate's Professional Products Division. "We look forward to continuing to build this valued partnership".

Customers are invited to invent their own culinary creations with the new "made with Ghirardelli" flavors, like all other Orange Leaf froyo flavors, by mixing, swirling, dividing or building the froyo with any combination of fruit, nuts, candy and other healthy or decadent treats from the do-it-yourself toppings bar. This also allows customers to control their portion size and nutritional value to fit their dietary needs and taste preferences. To inspire customers' creations, Orange Leaf suggests these froyo-topping pairings:

• White Chocolate Flavored Strawberry made with Ghirardelli froyo topped with strawberries
• White Chocolate Flavored Raspberry made with Ghirardelli froyo topped with raspberries
• Chocolate made with Ghirardelli froyo topped with marshmallows, peanuts and Ghirardelli Chocolate Sauce

"Orange Leaf is proud to shine a spotlight on Ghirardelli's rich chocolate paired with our creamy froyo," said Reese Travis, CEO of Orange Leaf Frozen Yogurt. "Ghirardelli's rich history of more than 160 years and its distinctive methods of roasting and processing are just some of the many reasons why America – and Orange Leaf - loves Ghirardelli."

Orange Leaf customers can check their local store's web page, or download Orange Leaf's iPhone or Android app, to check the other flavors available at stores before they visit.
