Returning to the Blizzard Treat lineup this summer is the classic S’mores Blizzard Treat. Featuring marshmallow-filled DQ chocolate bars and graham cracker swirled together with world-famous DQ vanilla soft serve, this fan-favorite couldn’t stay off the menu for too long.

The Cotton Candy Blizzard Treat is back as well with its signature purple and pink swirl. This summertime favorite has cotton candy sprinkles mixed into world-famous DQ soft serve, making each red spoonful sweeter than the last. 

“Texans look forward to the summertime Blizzard Treat lineup every year,” said Lou Romanus, CEO of the Texas Dairy Queen Operators’ Council. “As the temperatures warm up, DQ Fans get excited to see what new and returning flavors will appear on our menus for the summer.”
