New DQ Blizzards Introduced For Summer

There are two new DQ Blizzards introduced for summer time. Summer also sees the return of a couple of longtime favorites. The famous ice cream chain is known to release seasonal flavors. Get 'em while you can. For summer that means the Oreo Brookie Brownie. It's pictured below. This one is full of Oreo Cookie pieces. In addition, there are big chunks of brownie cookie pieces. It looks sinfully delicious.

The second new seasonal, summer flavor is Peanut Butter Puppy Chow. This one is full of crispy peanut butter puppy chow pieces, along with peanut butter and chocolate chunks. It's picture is below and it also looks pretty irresistible.

In addition to these two new flavors, DQ is brining back some old favorites for a limited time. Those favorites include S'mores, Cotton Candy, and Choco Dipped Strawberry Blizzards. In fact S'mores is the April Blizzard of the month. DQ has been around since 1940. However, they did not introduce this thick, delish treat called the Blizzard until 1985. It is one of the most popular menu items and the best part is you can customize them to your liking.

But when the DQ flavor wizards create these special blends, you almost HAVE to try them. Summer is all about ice cream, cooling down and having fun. If you love sweet treats these are definitely for you.

Living in Florida, we're always looking for ways to cool down on a hot day and there's nothing better and more tastier than to do that with some ice cream and one Cape Coral ice cream shop made Yelp's list of the Best in Florida.

When it comes to desserts, my absolutely favorite is ice cream. Asking if I have a favorite flavor is an almost impossible question to answer because with so many stand alone and great combinations, I can't possibly choose just one. And let's also not forget to mention all the varieties from true ice cream, gelato, custard, frozen yogurt, sorbet, sherbet, mochi...it's all delicious to me!

Yelp put together this list of Florida's best by looking at the total number and ratings of reviews from January 1, 2021 through June 30, 2022.

One review mentioned the owners being the kindest people they'd ever met. Another raved about the cookie dough ice cream saying "The cookie dough isn't the hard chunky stuff you might be used to, it's a softer texture and spreads out nice in the ice cream."

Sweet Aloha Ice Cream is a family-owned and veteran-owned ice cream parlor and shave ice shop. One reviewer was impressed with the service saying "My favorite thing about this place is the service. They are always helpful and always smiling which if you've ever worked with the public, you know that's not easy to do."

Unfortunately Joey's Custard was destroyed in Hurricane Ian. But their Instagram page offers a message of hope that they will rebuild!

Regulars rave about Matty's with one mentioning their favorite flavors of stracciatella, cookie butter, cannoli and the chocolate fudge. Another reviewer mentioned the generous portions.

Pecan Jacks describes themselves as an Ice Creamery and Candy Kitchen on the forefront of flavor, committed to crafting
delicious mouth-watering and unique ice cream, southern pralines, brittles, and chocolates. The top Yelp review rates it a 10/10.

At Ice Dreammm Shop, they make all of their ice cream in house themselves in small batches. Some favorite flavors include black raspberry, strawberry shortcake and brownie coffee swirl.

With almost 800 reviews, Cherry Smash is a definite favorite. Reviews mention the look of the place with stuff, including nostalgic items, everywhere you look.

One review calls Cleveland's Old Fashioned Ice Cream an absolute gem. Another says "10/10 100000% my FAVORITE ice cream!!!"
