There\u2019s nothing like a warm and sunny spring day to make me yearn for summer. Even though it\u2019s been years since I\u2019ve enjoyed a \u201csummer break\u201d like a kid out of school, it\u2019s still a time I remember fondly.<\/p>\n

In fact, I used to take classes at a dance studio across the street from a Dairy Queen<\/a>. My friends and I would pile together crumpled-up dollar bills and random change and get as many Dilly Bars as we could afford. We\u2019d sit on the grassy area between parking lots, soaking up the sun and wiping chocolate off our faces in between classes.<\/p>\n

This is how summertime and Dairy Queen became inextricably linked in my mind. Sure, I\u2019m not scarfing down Dilly Bars in a leotard anymore, but the joy of that experience remains! Which is why I get very excited every time DQ announces its summer menu\u2014and this year is no different. We are being blessed by a new Dairy Queen Blizzard and the early return of two fan-favorites.<\/p>\n

What\u2019s on Dairy Queen\u2019s summer menu?<\/p>\n

\"DairyTASTE OF HOME, COURTESY DQ<\/p>\n

First, I know it\u2019s barely spring, and this is technically a \u201cCountdown to Summer\u201d menu. I will take anything I can that invokes more daylight and warmer weather. Here\u2019s what you can order from this new menu:<\/p>\n

Strawberry Angel Food Cake Blizzard:\u00a0This is a brand-new Blizzard treat that combines all the things you love about the classic dessert with that creamy DQ soft serve. It has pieces of angel food cake alongside real strawberries, and it\u2019s even finished off with whipped topping.
\nS\u2019mores Blizzard: Yes, I\u2019m editorializing, but this is by\u00a0far the best Blizzard flavor. It\u2019s making a comeback for a reason! Marshmallow-filled chocolate bars and crunchy graham crackers are blended with vanilla soft serve. If Dairy Queen ever sold those little marshmallow chocolate pieces, I\u2019d buy them out of stock.
\nCotton Candy Blizzard:\u00a0At the other end of fun summer flavors is the sweet pink cotton candy Blizzard. It\u2019s full of candy pieces and has that signature airy vanilla flavor that is so\u00a0reminiscent of a summertime carnival.<\/p>\n

When will Dairy Queen\u2019s summer menu be available?<\/p>\n

Perhaps the greatest news of all is that you can get all three of these Blizzard Treats at participating Dairy Queen locations right now. Yes, that\u2019s correct: You are only a quick walk or drive away from having one of these summertime favorites. Whether you want a little post-lunch pick-me-up or are craving a sweet dessert, they are absolutely perfect. There is no telling how long these Blizzards will stick around, but my money says they\u2019ll be here for a while since they were released so early in the spring.<\/p>\n
