Dairy Queen is making sure fans have plenty of options to beat the summer heat. The beloved ice cream chain is chilling down its menu with six new frozen treats, D officially unveiling its new Summer Blizzard Treat Menu. According to the chain, the six new flavors “represent the best parts of the season.”
First on the list is one that anyone hoarding a few extra boxes of Girl Scout cookies will love: the Girl Scout Thin Mints Blizzard. First appearing on menus several years ago, the treat boasts Girl Scout Thin Mints cookie pieces and cool mint that are blended with vanilla soft serve. Keeping up with the beloved treat theme, the chain has also added a Drumstick with Peanuts Blizzard, DQ’s take on the favorite ice cream dish. The blizzard blends chocolate-covered Drumstick waffle cone pieces with chopped peanuts and soft serve.
