15 Lesser-Known And Unofficial Dairy Queen Menu Items

You know the classics, but Dairy Queen hides a playful side in plain sight. With a few simple add ons and swaps, you can build flavors that taste like bakery desserts or candy aisle favorites.

Most crews know these combos even if they are not on the board, so asking confidently goes a long way. Ready to level up your order and feel a little smug about it too?

1. Butterfinger Blizzard, extra Butterfinger

Sometimes the mix feels shy, like the candy pieces dodged your spoon. Asking for extra Butterfinger puts that crunch front and center, turning every bite into peanutty, chocolate packed goodness.

You will get more texture, more caramelized-peanut notes, and fewer bland pockets.

The trick is simple: say extra Butterfinger when you order your Blizzard. The pieces blend into the soft serve and stay crispy enough to keep each mouthful interesting.

It is the upgrade you expected the first time, finally done right.

If you like mix ins heavy, start here. It is budget friendly and instantly satisfying.

You will probably never go back to the default portion after this.

2. Oreo Blizzard, add peanut butter

If Oreo ever felt a little icy or one note, peanut butter fixes it fast. Ask to add peanut butter, and suddenly it tastes like Oreo peanut butter pie.

The salty nutty swirl deepens the chocolate and smooths the edges.

It is a tiny tweak that makes the Blizzard feel premium without getting fussy. You will notice thicker spoonfuls and a dessert vibe closer to bakery filling.

The balance of creamy, crunchy, and salty sweet lands just right.

Great move when you crave richer flavor but not extra toppings everywhere. Ask for a good peanut butter ribbon mixed in.

You might call it your new default Oreo order.

3. Reese’s Blizzard, add banana

Reese’s and banana is a quiet power couple. Adding banana brings that soft, fruity sweetness Elvis fans swear by with peanut butter.

Ask for banana mixed into a Reese’s Blizzard and you get creamy, candy studded spoonfuls with a mellow tropical lift.

The banana pieces soften the density of the peanut butter cups, making everything taste rounder and more like a composed dessert. It is basically a sundae idea carried into Blizzard form.

Less drippy, more scoopable.

If you like banana splits but want more peanut punch, this nails it. It is friendly to warm weather and shares great.

Expect a flavor that feels familiar yet surprisingly complete.

4. Strawberry cheesecake-style Blizzard (custom)

Order a Cheesecake Blizzard, then ask for strawberry topping mixed in. Suddenly it tastes like a chilled slice with sauce dripped over the top.

The cheesecake bites keep their tender texture while strawberry brightens each bite.

This combo gives you bakery vibes without needing a sundae build. The strawberry ribbons cut through richness and add that diner style color pop.

It is sweet, creamy, and slightly tangy in a way that feels complete.

When you are craving a fork and plate moment but want something cold, this is the move. It feels classic without being heavy.

Simple order, big payoff.

5. Chocolate-covered strawberry Blizzard (custom)

Ask for strawberry topping mixed into a chocolate based Blizzard or chocolate soft serve. You will get a flavor like chocolate-dipped berries, candy shop simple and satisfying.

The strawberry adds brightness that cuts through the cocoa.

It is not complicated, just dependable. The contrast looks pretty and tastes balanced, with little hits of fruity jam in creamy chocolate.

The spoonfuls feel special without going overboard on sweetness.

Perfect date night treat or solo win after errands. If you love boxed chocolates with fruit centers, this scratches that itch.

Order it once and you will remember how easy it is.

6. Cookie Dough Brownie Blizzard (custom)

Start with cookie dough, then ask to add brownie pieces if your store carries them. The result is dense, fudgy, and wildly snackable.

Dough gives buttery chew, while brownie adds deep chocolate and a little cakey texture.

It is heavy in the best way, like eating chilled batter and brownies together. You will probably slow down halfway and still keep going.

This combo is a crowd pleaser for anyone who wants maximum dessert per scoop.

Ask for extra mix ins if you like a chunk fiesta. It is dangerously easy to finish the cup faster than planned.

Consider sharing, or do not and enjoy every bite.

7. Banana split Blizzard (custom)

Ask for banana, pineapple, strawberry, and a bit of chocolate topping mixed into vanilla. It mirrors the classic banana split, only thicker and frostier.

You get fruity brightness, chocolate depth, and creamy balance in each spoonful.

The pineapple tang prevents the flavor from getting flat, while banana keeps it sunny and mellow. Strawberry adds familiar nostalgia.

It is a smart way to channel a sundae without juggling multiple toppings at the counter.

Great for sharing because every scoop hits differently. If you love the original but want less drip, this is your answer.

Order confidently and enjoy the retro charm.

8. Turtle Blizzard (custom)

Go vanilla base, then ask for pecans, caramel, and chocolate topping mixed in. You will get that classic turtle candy experience in cold, spoonable form.

The pecans bring buttery crunch while caramel adds sticky richness.

Chocolate ties it together and keeps bites from leaning too sweet. It feels like a box of turtles melted into ice cream, but tidier and more balanced.

The textures alternate between chewy caramel and crisp nutty bits.

Perfect when you want a grown up sweet that still tastes playful. Order extra pecans if you love crunch.

One of the most reliable off menu wins around.

9. Thin Mint style Blizzard (custom)

Order mint Oreo if available, or mint with chocolate cookie pieces. The vibe is pure Thin Mint without being cloying.

Cool mint lifts the chocolate so it tastes crisp, not heavy.

It is the kind of treat that feels refreshing even when it is ultra rich. The cookie bits keep texture lively, and the mint keeps you going back for another spoonful.

Perfect after a salty meal when you want clean flavors.

If your store lacks mint Oreo, ask for mint added to a chocolate cookie Blizzard. The result is similar and just as satisfying.

Simple, sharp, and nostalgic.

10. Mocha Blizzard (custom)

Ask for coffee flavor or mocha syrup mixed with chocolate. Not every location has it, but when they do, it is a sleeper hit.

The coffee adds roast and cuts sweetness, making the Blizzard taste more grown up.

You will notice a slightly firmer feel and a café aroma. It is the perfect bridge between milkshake comfort and latte cravings.

Add chocolate chunks if you want more texture.

When you are tired of standard chocolate, mocha brings complexity without weird extras. It pairs well with brownies or Oreos too.

Worth asking about, even if it is not on the board.

11. Chocolate cone dipped in cherry shell

Some stores carry cherry dip quietly, and it is a fun twist on the classic dipped cone. Ask for chocolate soft serve dipped in cherry shell if available.

The snap of the shell against cold chocolate feels delightfully retro.

Flavor wise, cherry brings a candy like layer that cuts through the cocoa. It is simple pleasure, the kind that makes a quick stop feel special.

No fuss, just color, crunch, and nostalgia.

If cherry dip is missing, vanilla with cherry is still great. Ask what dips are on deck that day.

You might find a new favorite without changing your routine.

12. Soft serve float (custom)

Ask for soft serve added to a soda or soda poured over soft serve. It is the old school float experience in a fast, portable cup.

The carbonation lifts the cream, making a light, foamy crown.

Cola gives caramel notes, while lemon lime soda makes it brighter. Either way, it is surprisingly refreshing and not as heavy as a full Blizzard.

Stir gently to catch the creamy-fizzy sweet spot.

This order is great when the weather is hot and you want something playful. Kids love it, adults do too.

Simple instructions, big smiles, minimal mess.

13. Root beer freeze style drink (custom)

Think float turned drinkable. Ask for root beer blended with vanilla soft serve, like a freeze.

It is creamy, foamy, and tastes like a root beer float that never separates.

The blending smooths the bite of the soda and amplifies vanilla. You get a consistent sip from top to bottom with a nostalgic soda fountain vibe.

It is less messy than a float and easier to sip in the car.

Perfect when you want classic flavors with better portability. Add a malt shot if they have it for extra depth.

Easy order, big comfort factor.

14. Extra thick shake (custom)

If you like spoon thick shakes, just ask for it extra thick. Many crews can tweak ratios for a denser pull.

The result is a shake that sips slow and tastes creamier than the standard.

It is perfect for long drives or when you want a milkshake that doubles as dessert. Chocolate, strawberry, or vanilla all work.

Thicker texture also softens sweetness and extends flavor.

Pro move: request a wide straw, or grab a spoon. This order rewards patience, and the last inch is the best.

Simple adjustment, huge upgrade.

15. Double stuffed Blizzard (custom)

Ask for extra mix ins and a thicker blend. Not every store uses the name, but the idea is clear: more chunks, less soft.

It is basically the maximalist version of your favorite flavor.

Because the blend is thicker, pieces stay intact and every bite hits. You will scoop fewer plain ice cream pockets and more candy or cookie.

It is satisfying, heavy, and perfect when you want a treat to linger.

Be ready for a slower spoon and a fuller cup. Pick sturdy mix ins like Oreos, brownies, or peanut butter cups.

The result feels deluxe without needing a new menu item.
