Updated: Jun. 29, 2021
Yep, the Frosted Animal Cookie Blizzard is back on the menu.
Summer’s here, which obviously means it’s time for pink lemonade cocktails, new Dunkin’ Refreshers and more. DQ kicked off spring by bringing back the Dreamsicle Dipped Cone, and they’re set to make summer even better with their new Summer Blizzard Treat Menu! There’s a mix of fan favorites and brand-new flavors available, and we’re seeing a delicious new Blizzard of the month in July.
There Are SIX Summer Blizzards!
You read that right. Dairy Queen released six Blizzard flavors for the summer season, and forever fan favorite Frosted Animal Cookie Blizzard is one of ’em. Each one is just as mouthwatering as the last, and some are even returning hits. The menu has something to satisfy all fruit fans and chocolate lovers, so no one is left out:
- Girl Scout Thin Mints: Your favorite cookie pieces are blended with refreshing mint paired with DQ’s signature soft-serve for a cool treat that’s perfect to beat the heat. This one is a DQ store exclusive!
- Raspberry Fudge Bliss: The classic tang of raspberry combined with chocolate chunks and fudge pieces we can’t wait to nibble on this summer.
- Frosted Animal Cookie: Our favorite nostalgic childhood treat is back with a hearty scoop of vanilla soft serve, animal cookie pieces and pink confetti frosting.
- Nestle Drumstick with Peanuts: Another childhood favorite gets the DQ treatment with crispy, chocolate-covered Drumstick waffle cone pieces and chopped peanuts blended with soft serve.
- Cotton Candy: An ice-creamy twist on the popular fair food with pink and blue sprinkles hidden throughout layers of that trademark soft serve.
- Brownie Batter: This flavor is perfect for chocolate lovers, with soft serve blended with brownie batter and fudgy brownie dough pieces.
When Can I Get ‘Em?
Luckily for us, they’re already available at your local Dairy Queen. You can complete your sweet haul with the Nestlé Toll House Chocolate Chip Cookie Blizzard Treat, aka July’s Blizzard of the Month. The Blizzard is based on our favorite childhood snack, cookies ‘n’ milk, and includes soft-baked cookie pieces, chocolaty mini morsels and DQ’s signature vanilla soft serve. It’ll be available at all participating locations nationwide starting June 28.
These decadent Blizzards are sure to satisfy your sweet tooth and keep you cool as we move into warmer months. Keep in mind the summer menu is a limited-time-only deal, so you’ll have to swoop in to scoop up all this goodness ASAP.
