The Dairy Queen system began blending simple combinations of chocolates, nuts, cookies, candies and fruits with DQ soft serve in 1985 to create the signature Blizzard Treat. The iconic treat has created the served upside-down Blizzard culture and since then, one-of-a-kind flavors such as Chocolate Candy Shop, Midnight Truffle and Confetti Cake have delighted Dairy Queen fans as part of the featured Blizzard of the Month program, which began in 2003.
Many Blizzard Treat flavors, including Choco Peanut Butter Brownie, also can also be made into delicious DQ Cakes, perfect for birthdays, Mother’s Day and holidays such as Memorial Day. They are a great way to make any celebration extra special, which is why DQ Cakes are America’s favorite.
The incredible popularity of the Blizzard brand is what led the Dairy Queen system to initiate the Blizzard Fan Club in 2005 and the Dairy Queen Facebook fan page in 2008. Today, the Fan Club is 3.4 million members strong while the DQ Facebook fan page has more than 5.8 million friends.
