The first day of spring was technically March 20, but today feels a lot more like the real thing because it's the official first day of baseball season. If you were able to snag tickets to Opening Day, count your blessings. But if not, don't worry, you can still have fun watching a game on a screen, especially with Dairy Queen's new Blizzard in hand.
Today, Dairy Queen is releasing a brand new baseball season-inspired treat called the Triple Play Blizzard. This isn't your traditional vanilla + mix-ins cup of delicious goodness—it's even better. The Blizzard mixes caramel coated peanuts, caramel popcorn brittle, and chocolate chunks with vanilla soft serve. Then, it's topped with salty pretzel rod, and chocolate drizzled caramel corn. So, basically this is Cracker Jacks taken to whole other level.
But before you run to your nearest Dairy Queen, know that this is only available in 15 cities. Ughhhh, I know! This year marks the first time in nearly 50 years that all 30 MLB teams will open on the same day, and the Triple Play Blizzard is just as rare. The treat will be available exclusively in one lucky DQ location in each of the 15 home team cities, for a limited time.
There's no saying how long you'll have to try this out, but go quick. "We recommend fans come in quickly because this Blizzard Treat tested off the charts and won’t be available for long,” Maria Hokanson, Executive Vice President of Marketing for American Dairy Queen Corporation, said.
In addition to the Triple Play, Dairy Queen released a new Peanut Butter Cookie Dough Blizzard on Monday. It's also available for a limited time, but in all participating DQ locations, so you can more than likely get your hands on this one no matter where you live. It combines, you guessed it, peanut butter, cookie dough pieces, and chocolate flakes. It might not be the Triple Play, but it sounds a lot like a home run to me.
and worth a trip.
