The new blizzards sound yummy and a great way to beat the heat.  First, we start with sweet, chocolatey, gooey, marshmallow-ey graham cracker-filled S’mores Blizzard.  Second, try the Cotton Candy and Choco Dipped Strawberry Blizzards on the summer menu.

New to the lineup is an OREO Brookie Blizzard that mixes up “OREO^® cookie pieces and brookie pieces (which is brownie & cookie baked together)” with vanilla soft serve.   Finally, there will be a Peanut Butter Puppy Chow Blizzard.  It includes blended with puppy chow (a chocolatey, peanut-buttery cereal-based snack), chocolate chunks and a peanut butter topping.
