There may be no fast-food dessert more beloved than a Dairy Queen Blizzard. The soft serve-based treats are what keep that place in business, and sometimes the regular menu just doesn’t cut it — that’s when the Dairy Queen secret menu comes to the rescue.
Thanks to the Queen’s plentiful options when it comes to assembling a custom blizzard, you’ve got a lot of runway in front of you. Need some starting inspiration? Here are 15 Dairy Queen secret menu items.
