The Dairy Queen Treat Heart Cakes have been unveiled by the dessert brand just in time for Valentine's Day to offer consumers an alternative offering to pick up for their sweet heart. The heart-shaped cakes come in two size options to make them ideal for two or more people and feature a Double Fudge Cookie Dough flavor. This draws inspiration from the new Blizzard of the Month February 2020 flavor that includes real chunks of chocolate chip cookie dough along with chocolate chunks and cocoa fudge that's blended with the brand's signature soft serve.
The Dairy Queen Treat Heart Cakes are part of the continued expansion of QSR menus to include foods specifically with holiday traditions in mind.
