New DQ Blizzards Introduced For Summer
There are two new DQ Blizzards introduced for summer time. Summer also sees the return of a couple of longtime favorites. The famous ice cream chain is known to release seasonal flavors. Get ’em while you can. For summer that means the Oreo Brookie Brownie. It’s pictured below. This one is full of Oreo Cookie pieces. In addition, there are big chunks of brownie cookie pieces. It looks sinfully delicious.
This is one of the two new DQ Blizzards introduced for summer time.
The second new seasonal, summer flavor is Peanut Butter Puppy Chow. This one is full of crispy peanut butter puppy chow pieces, along with peanut butter and chocolate chunks. It’s picture is below and it also looks pretty irresistible.
Puppy Chow Blizzard is new from DQ for the summer only.
In addition to these two new flavors, DQ is brining back some old favorites for a limited time. Those favorites include S’mores, Cotton Candy, and Choco Dipped Strawberry Blizzards. In fact S’mores is the April Blizzard of the month. DQ has been around since 1940. However, they did not introduce this thick, delish treat called the Blizzard until 1985. It is one of the most popular menu items and the best part is you can customize them to your liking.
But when the DQ flavor wizards create these special blends, you almost HAVE to try them. Summer is all about ice cream, cooling down and having fun. If you love sweet treats these are definitely for you.
