I don't care what anyone says, Dairy Queen is life, and even if you think you’ve sampled all of the fast food chain’s offerings, the Dairy Queen secret menu is here to upgrade your Blizzards, drinks (hello, shakes and Misty Slush), cheeseburgers, Dilly Bars, and more.
Just because your favorite seasonal ice cream isn’t on the menu anymore doesn’t mean you can’t customize something similar. DQ has a variety of candies, mix-ins, syrups, toppings, dips, and flavors to make the Blizzard of your dreams. The DQ hacks are limitless. We've scoured Instagram, TikTok, and Dairy Queen Reddit threads — and even added in a few of our own Spoon-approved creations — to compile the ultimate Dairy Queen Secret Menu.
Here are 77 Dairy Queen secret menu items (including 44 secret menu DQ Blizzards) to try on your next Dairy Queen run.
