Hold em’ upside down and devour ’em – A DQ Blizzard is the ultimate indulgent treat. The DQ changes up their Blizzard menu all the time, but did you know there are secret menu Blizzards available at Dairy Queen?
When Dairy Queen first launched the Blizzard in 1985, they sold over 100 million in the first year, and it became a solid staple of their treat-filled menu.
If you’re bored of regular old Oreo or Butterfinger flavor Blizzards though, read on for some creations you’ve never heard of and how to order them.
DQ secret menu Blizzards
Remember as with any secret menu, when you go to order these items from your local Dairy Queen, be sure to tell your server what goes in the Blizzard, and don’t just expect them to know the recipe – not everyone is in on the secret.
Butterbeer Blizzard
This one is for all the Harry Potter fans out there. Although no one knows exactly what this fictional drink tastes like, according to DQ fans, ordering a vanilla Butterfinger Blizzard with butterscotch mix-ins is pretty close.
If no butterscotch is available, you can substitute that for caramel sauce.
Sneaky ninja Blizzard
A sneaky ninja on a secret menu, this one must be highly classified. This Blizzard actually originated from a game played by DQ staff wherein they would make a vanilla Blizzard with cake crunch, fudge, marshmallow creme, and one secret ingredient mixed in.
Order one of these and leave the fourth ingredient up to your server’s discretion for a surprsing flavor combo.
Tropical sunrise Blizzard
This secret menu item can be made a couple of ways, however, one version was actually a limited-edition menu item a few years ago, so we’ll go with that one.
All you need to do is order a vanilla Blizzard, and add in pineapple, banana, and coconut. This tastes kind of like a pina colada, and technically has fruit in it.
Cookie Jar Blizzard
Now, the Blizzard that Dairy Queen just released is similar to this one in that it’s jam-packed with cookies, but this one varies slightly.
To order this one, order a vanilla Blizzard mixed with Oreo cookies, cookie dough, and hot fudge. This was the special menu flavor of the month back in April 2019, but why not have it anytime you like?
Sugar cookie Blizzard
This one is perfect for those of you with a sweet tooth who aren’t massive chocolate lovers. Who doesn’t love a freshly baked sugar cookie?
Simply order vanilla soft serve Blizzard with rainbow sprinkles, marshmallow creme, and graham cracker pieces. If there’s no graham crackers left, you can substitute with pie pieces.
Caramel pie delight Blizzard
Pie mixed into an ice cream? Sign us up. Beware with this one though, as the pie pieces inclusion is famously elusive and Dairy Queen frequently runs out.

To order this one, go for a vanilla Blizzard mixed up with caramel, fudge, chocolate chunks, and pie pieces. No pie pieces? Substitute with Nilla Wafers.
Samoa Blizzard
Girl Scout cookies and Dairy Queen is the collab that we’ve all been waiting for. The original cookies are shortbread topped with toasted caramel, coconut, and chocolate drizzle.
To order, go for a Twix Blizzard with chocolate cone dip and coconut added in. If they don’t have any Twix pieces, order it with fudge, caramel, and Nilla wafters instead.
Birthday cake Blizzard
This Dairy Queen secret menu Blizzard will make every day feel like your birthday. Although there is no actual cake batter mix-in, this can be substituted.
Order a vanilla Blizzard with extra vanilla syrup, rainbow sprinkles, and cookie dough. The vanilla in this one can be a little overpowering, but it really does taste exactly like cake batter.
Banana bread Blizzard
Banana bread may be a healthy-ish treat, but this Blizzard blows any healthiness out of the water – in a good way.
To order this one, for the neutral vanilla Blizzard base and then mix in banana, chocolate chunks, and graham cracker pieces.
Banana cream pie Blizzard
This banana cream pie Blizzard is a take on a classic dessert that is perfect for banana lovers. This Blizzard was a fan-favorite back in 2012 (so much so that there’s a petition to bring it back), and it lives on forever in the secret menu.
Order a vanilla Blizzard, mix in banana pieces, pie pieces, and whipped cream. The whipped cream should be mixed in and on top.
Puppy Chow Blizzard
This is a beloved regional snack in the Midwest, and don’t worry, it isn’t made from actual dog food. Traditional Puppy Chow is Rice Chex cereal covered in peanut butter and melted chocolate, and then sprinkled with icing sugar.
To order it in Blizzard form, go for a vanilla Blizzard with fudge pieces, peanut butter, graham cracker and whipped cream all mixed in. If you do want a treat for your dog, you can order a puppaccino from Dairy Queen.
PB&J Blizzard
Another American classic that is only made better by mixing it into ice cream. This Blizzard is so nostalgic in it that it would make you cry.
Order a vanilla Blizzard with peanut butter, strawberry sauce mix-in, and pie pieces to give it that extra toasty flavor. If the super-sweet strawberry isn’t your thing, the tangier raspberry might be more your speed.
