The Oreo Blizzard Treat is available in Mini, small, medium or large sizes. Many Blizzard Treat flavors, including Oreo, can be easily turned into DQ Cakes which are perfect for celebrating special events such as Labor Day picnics, birthdays or anniversaries.
The Dairy Queen system began blending simple combinations of cookies, candies, nuts, fruits and DQ soft serve in 1985 to create the signature Blizzard Treat. Since then, one-of-a-kind flavors such as Nutter Butter®, Triple Chocoholic, Midnight Truffle, Turtle Oreo® and Confetti Cake have delighted Dairy Queen fans as part of the featured Blizzard of the Month program, which began in 2003.
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 4.3 million members strong while the DQ Facebook fan page has more than 5.2 million friends.
