Dairy Queen Blizzards Are About To Be 85 Cents

Imagine getting your favorite ice cream flavor blended with your favorite topping for less than one dollar. That's not a bad way transition into the start of fall. Dairy Queen is making it a reality announcing they will be selling their Blizzards for 85 cents for a limited time.

This promotion will start on Monday, September 11. It then lasts for almost two weeks (ending on Sunday September 24), where you can score a small Blizzard for 85 cents. But, why 85 cents you may ask? Well, the blizzard was invented in 1985.

Those interested in scoring this sweet deal must download the Dairy Queen app to get it. You then have to become a DQ rewards member. It could take up to 24 hours for the offer to show in your app.

What type of Blizzard you indulge is up to you. However, you may be interested in the new fall menu Diary Queen unveiled yesterday.

"Fall’s triumphant return ushers in an exciting rotation of seasonal BLIZZARD® Treats, including two major Fan favorites: Snickerdoodle Cookie Dough and classic Pumpkin Pie!" Dairy Queen stated. In addition, Oreo, Caramel Fudge, Hot Cocoa, Cheesecake, Chocolate-Dipped Strawberry, and Reese's Peanut Butter Cup Pie are on the fall menu as well. Lastly, there's also a new Royal Reese's Fluffernutter option.

"Get ready to celebrate the season and make this a flavor-filled fall to remember," Dairy Queen said.

The Blizzard menu is broken into four categories. Signature is where you will find the traditional flavors such as chocolate chip cookie. Candy classics include the likes of Butterfinger, and Snickers. Royal has an additional sweet core filling. Obviously, limited time references the aforementioned specials that were announced for fall.

Regardless of your favorite flavor, the end of summer just got a little sweeter with Dairy Queen announcing Blizzards will be sold for 85 cents for two weeks in September.

Since July is National Ice Cream Month, we thought we would find out where Delawareans like to go for their favorite scoop.

We took to Facebook and simply asked, "Where Do You Go In Delaware For Your Favorite Ice Cream?"  The response was pretty good.  So, why not put a list together to let others know where the locals like to go?   We promise we won't tell too many people.  Wink, wink.  Long lines are no fun when you have a hankering for something sweet.

There were plenty of local shops mentioned in the comments.  Delawareans certainly take their Ice Cream seriously, and not just during National Ice Cream Month.

According to National Calendar Day,  July is National Ice Cream Month.  It makes perfect sense.  July is most definitely one of the hottest months of the year across the country.

Some fun ice cream facts:

We definitely have some clear local favorites here in Delaware.  Amongst the many, many responses, these locations were shown some love, so we didn't want to leave them out.   Tre Sorelle Docle, Rita's, Vanderwende Farm Creamery, Wawa, Charcoal Pit, Uncle Mike's Ice Cream and Water Ice, Friendly's and the Creamery at St. George's.
