Dairy Queen’s Butterscotch-Dipped Cones Are BACK and Better Than Ever

There are a lot of things to love about fall, namely the warm and toasty flavors that come with the season. We’ve already gotten our hands on every PSL you can imagine, and even though we’ve been stuffing our faces with Pillsbury pumpkin spice rolls, there’s still something we’ve been missing. Well, until now.

Dairy Queen is switching up your sweet treats this year in the best way possible—by bringing back the flavor we’ve all been craving since its debut. Dairy Queen’s butterscotch-dipped cone is officially back on the menu!

Here’s What You’ve Been Missing

Just when we thought Dairy Queen couldn’t treat us to anything sweeter than the Dreamsicle-dipped cone, they announced the return of the butterscotch cone. Fans went wild for the flavor at first bite, so when it disappeared from menu boards, some devoted DQ lovers actually made a petition to get the treat back in stores. It must have worked, because Dairy Queen announced the butterscotch cone’s return just this morning via Twitter.

The crisp air and changing leaves mark the return of our favorite fall color, Butterscotch. The sweet and creamy Butterscotch Dipped Cone is available again nationwide! #HappyTastesGood pic.twitter.com/yBCQqrcQLk

The cone is packed with classic vanilla soft serve, complete with the trademark swirl, and coated in a crunchy layer of butterscotch. It’s the perfect treat to enjoy every day this fall and comes in all sweet tooth sizes—small, medium and large.

Here’s something on the DQ menu for your four-legged friend, too.

Get to DQ Right Now!

There’s no telling how long this fan favorite will be around. Fortunately, if you have a Dairy Queen in your neighborhood, chances are you’ll see it on the menu. This time around, DQ is sharing the love and bringing the butterscotch-dipped cone to participating locations nationwide instead of the handful of stores we’re used to. Make sure you don’t miss out on this once-in-a-lifetime (or twice, if you’re lucky) chance to get a bite of your favorite frozen treat!

Aunt Ruth's Famous Butterscotch Cheesecake

Aunt Ruth was our nanny when I was little and made this cheesecake often. Since it had to chill overnight, it was torture when my sister and I had to wait until the next day to have a piece. When I visited my old neighborhood and stopped by her house, she offered me a piece of that wonderful cheesecake. I made sure to leave with a copy of the recipe! —Trisha Kruse, Eagle, Idaho
