To help consumers celebrate the Fourth of July and to beat the sweltering summer heat, Dairy Queen has debuted a colorful new treat called the Star-Spangled Blizzard. Dripping with patriotism (and rock-candy), the new treat is the perfect way to celebrate Independence Day.
The new Star-Spangled Blizzard is an Americana-inspired treat that combines creamy vanilla soft-serve with red rock-candy, and then another layer of vanilla soft-serve and some blue rock candy. The whole thing is then topped with a DQ Stars & Stripes StarKiss Frozen Treat for an extra patriotic twist. The frozen dessert even comes in a mini size so that kids can get in on the celebrations as well.
For those who want to dial up the celebrations even further, the chain is also offering an equally glorious Oreo Firework Blizzard as it the July Blizzard Treat of the Month.
