Summer and Dairy Queen blizzards go together like late nights and pizza slices. There's nothing like digging a red plastic spoon into vanilla soft serve mixed with cookie dough after a long day at the beach. This summer, DQ is releasing three new Blizzard flavors and bringing back two fan favorites.
The new blizzards include the Jurassic Chomp, TWIX and Summer Berry Cheesecake. The first, you might have guessed, is in partnership with the new "Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom" movie coming out this summer. It includes fudge topping mixed with DQ's largest mix-in candy ever, chocolate dipped peanut butter bites.
The TWIX Blizzard is is an exciting new addition that mixes chopped TWIX cookie bar pieces and caramel. Honestly, surprised this is the first time we're getting a TWIX-flavored Bliz.
The Summer Berry Cheesecake flavor is definitely the most "summer," using ingredients naturally in-season during the warmer months. It mixes real raspberries, blackberries and blueberries with pieces of legit cheesecake.
While all three new to the menu Blizzards are sure to be a hit, the two fan favorite Blizzards coming back, S'mores and Cotton Cand, are quintessential summer flavors. S'mores combines marshmallow filled chocolates and graham cracker pieces, while Cotton Candy combines cotton candy pieces and sprinkles. The best part: no need to wash your hair of the smokey smell post-bonfire, or look for a bathroom to wash your sticky cotton candy hands at the fair. You can enjoy these flavors anywhere, straight from a cup.
You can try the new Blizzards at Dairy Queen now through the end of the summer. Try one or try them all. Well actually, just to be safe, maybe try them all—especially that Summer Berry Cheesecake Blizzard.
#SpoonTip: If you're in NYC, you can take your Blizzard eating experience to a whole other level on May 23 by visiting DQ Blizzard Rooms. There will be five experiential rooms, each designed for a different Blizzard flavor, by celebrity interior designer Nate Berkus. The event runs from 5-7 pm at Big Screen Plaza, and DQ will be collecting donations for Children's Miracle Network Hospitals.
