You know that stuff that most people make around the holidays with Chex cereal, chocolate, peanut butter and powdered sugar? It's impossible to not eat the whole bowl. Yeah, that's Puppy Chow. To get your Blizzard to take like it, start with vanilla ice cream. Ask for the graham cracker pieces, chocolate fudge and peanut butter. Don't forget the whipped cream!
8. Take the cheesy fries even further

Okay, one person recommended Cheeseburger Cheese Fries, and now we can't stop thinking about it. Basically, get the fries with the cheese sauce, but also add shredded lettuce, chili, pickles, shredded cheese, and ketchup. Sounds incredibly messy, and yes, we will eat the whole thing.
9. Cheesecake!

Whether you want classic NY cheesecake, chocolate, or raspberry, we've got you covered! For chocolate, get vanilla ice cream with chocolate fudge, cheesecake pieces and additional chocolate chunks.

10. Triple Cheeseburger

If you're feeling extra hungry and want to rack up that protein, try this Triple Cheeseburger from the secret menu. Pretty simple, just a double cheeseburger with an extra patty. But you can ask for a Macho Meal when you order this. It was an old school DQ menu item, so most employees know it's a triple cheeseburger!
11. Just trust us on this one
Image Source: Reddit
Okay, so this secret menu item has no official title, but everyone who's tried it says it's a must-have. It's a Kit-Kat Blizzard with caramel and banana. As you may guess, just get vanilla soft serve with Kit Kat pieces, caramel, and sliced banana for a flavorful treat!
12. Raspberry and Strawberry Cake
Image Source: Facebook
If you love DQ ice cream cakes (who doesn't), then try this fun twist. Get a vanilla base with strawberry and raspberry purée in the middle. The top later will be a raspberry/strawberry Blizzard mix. You can get it decorated with strawberry drizzle and vanilla frosting. We think the cookie crunch layer would still work here too. Yummy!
13. Cinnamon Toast Crunch

Anyone else absolutely destroy the roof of their mouth with the Warhead candies back in the day? Yet, we couldn't stop eating them! If you want that same flavor in a less painful experience, try a Misty Slush with cherry, blue raspberry, and strawberry-kiwi.
15. Key Lime Pie Blizzard

18. Jack & Jill Sundae

This is a classic with a small twist. Get vanilla soft serve with hot fudge, and then add marshmallow topping or marshmallow crème. The marshmallow goes on one half of the sundae and the chocolate on the other. Hence the name, Jack & Jill. It's simple but yet incredibly yummy!
19. PB&J Blizzard
Image Source: Reddit
Honestly, after some of the others on this list, this one seems pretty basic. But if you're looking for a more classic combo, try getting vanilla ice cream, strawberry preserves and peanut butter mixed in. Add in some pie pieces, and it'll taste like nostalgia!
20. Pup Cup!
Image Source: Reddit
If you're a dog parent, you know the bombtastic side-eye that your dog will give you if you get a treat without them. So be sure to ask for a Pup Cup next time you're at DQ. This is a small (dog-friendly) cup of vanilla soft serve topped with a doggy biscuit.
21. Oreo Cotton Candy
Image Source: Reddit
We can't quite picture how this one would taste, but people say it's delicious. Get vanilla ice cream with Oreo pieces and cotton candy syrup mixed in. Tastes like childhood apparently! If you loved either or both of these desserts as a kid, why not try mixing them together?
22. Cinnamon Soft Pretzel
Image Source: Yelp
DQ's soft pretzel sticks are pretty tasty all on their own, and you can get them with a side of melted cheese. But if you want a sweet option rather than savory, try this cinnamon sugar pretzel. Get the sticks cut open and filled with butter and snickerdoodle base, then melted in the oven. We can already feel our cholesterol rising!
23. Frozen Hot Chocolate

So this one is pretty perfect for those summer nights. You basically just ask for chocolate milk, add whipped cream, chocolate syrup and have it blended with ice. People say it tastes like frozen hot chocolate in the best possible way. If you want to take it a step further, add some marshmallows!

41. Top tips for ordering at Dairy Queen: decide what you want before you reach the register
image source: windsor.ctvnews.ca
So as well as knowing what you want from the secret menu, there are some great hacks for making the most out of any visit to Dairy Queen! So a great hack for a smoother experience - for yourself and for the other people waiting - is to know exactly what you want
before you get to the register.
42. Check their blizzard of the month!
image source: reddit.com
Dairy Queen will always have a 'blizzard of the month', which will be a flavor unavailable for the rest of the year - so if it's something that's going to have your favorite flavors, you definitely don't want to miss out that month! Always check what their blizzard of the month is before you go.
43. Don't go to the drive through if you don't know what you want
image source: reddit.com
We know that sometimes you do roll up to a fast food drive thru and take a minute just to quickly look at the menu or ask about something - usually it's fine, but because the Dairy Queen menu is so extensive, you're risking lines of cars behind you if you take too long!
44. Double check their food menu before you go
image source: reddit.com
If you're traveling to a new Dairy Queen in an area you've never been before, it's important to remember that not all Dairy Queens are built equal! Some don't serve fried food at all, so if you're used to that at your local place, check before you go to a new one expecting the same - because they might not do it, and you don't want to be disappointed!
45. The menu isn't gospel
image source: reddit.com
Now we've let you know about all the amazing secret menu items, you're probably realizing this on your own, but if you're looking to order something off the menu, you also don't need to be shy about asking for one or two things to be changed. Workers there will happily substitute an ingredient for another off the menu!
46. Don't order an entire cake through the drive through
image source: reddit.com
Sure, Dairy Queen do sell cakes and you might not think anything of ordering it through the drive through instead of going instead. But while a slice of cake is no issue, if you're ordering a whole cake to pick up (which Dairy Queen do offer) it's a bit tricky to fit the whole thing through the window (and the window of your car) without a messy accident!
47. You can get a free ice cream if workers don't flip your blizzard!
image source: reddit.com
This entirely depends on whether you want to bring up a mistake that a worker has made - when, granted, you're still getting your blizzard and all its ingredients. But blizzards are supposed to be flipped upside down as the final step, so if you notice your server doesn't do this, you can actually get your next one for free if you say something!
48. Respect the workers!
image source: reddit.com
This might seem like an obvious one, but if you're a first-timer to Dairy Queen you might think workers are responsible for things they actually aren't. Sometimes things get taken off the menu which some customers might complain at the workers about, but it's not their fault - and not their decision!
49. Mute your phone during the drive through!
image source: reddit.com
This one isn't too hard if you only have your physical phone, but a lot of cars are hooked up to Bluetooth these days for you to be able to answer calls while you're driving handsfree. So if you take a call going through the drive through, it can cause confusion when the workers are trying to talk to you through the speaker - and they can hear you even before you reach it!
50. Help out the cashier with your money
image source: reddit.com
Dairy Queen is a very fast-paced ordering system, so to avoid any hold ups and to really help your cashier out, give your money over by handing the change over first and then your bills. Some people give them a screwed up bunch of bills with the change instead which can make everything take longer!
