If you love ice cream as much as we do, you’ve been keeping up on Dairy Queen’s menu. The recent announcement about the Mint Oreo Blizzard had us checking the menu to see what else is fresh, and it turns out Cotton Candy Dipped Cones are being served at a DQ near you!
Here’s What We Know
The Cotton Candy Dipped Cone is vanilla soft serve dunked in a sweet cotton candy coating. Right now, the cones are labeled as “Coming Soon” on the Dairy Queen website BUT at least one DQ is already serving up this treat. Check out what’s happening at @augustadairyqueen in Kansas:
Is This Cotton Candy Cone Brand New?
We got a sneak peek at the blue cone last year courtesy of Instagram user @RymalRoadDQ, who uploaded a snapshot of the menu. The post was intended to highlight the Blizzard BOGO deal, but fans were hypnotized by the mysterious new flavor on the board to the left. According to @RymalRoadDQ, the cone was in testing and received very high praise.
With warm weather just around the corner, you’ll want to keep an eye on our Facebook page for the latest DQ menu updates. We can’t wait to share what they’ll be serving for summer 2020!
Copycat Your Favorite Dairy Queen Treats
Inspired by: Original Cheeseburger Signature StackburgerTwo mouthwatering burger patties stacked high with toppings like melted cheese, pickles, ketchup and mustard. Our smash burger recipe is just like DQ's Original Signature Stackburger—and maybe even better.
Inspired by: Reese's Peanut Butter Cup Blizzard TreatThese rich chocolate peanut butter shakes will make you feel as if you're sitting in your local Dairy Queen. But since you're the one whipping it up, you can add as many Reese's cups as you heart desires!
Inspired by: Pretzel Sticks with Zesty QuesoServe up warm pretzel sticks straight from the oven. Don't forget the cheese sauce! To make it zesty just like DQ's, add diced jalapenos and green chiles.
LAUREN HABERMEHL FOR TASTE OF HOME

Inspired by: Chili DogThe very thought of a hot dog dressed in chili makes us giddy. Just add slightly melted cheese to get that straight-from-the-drive-thru taste.
Inspired by: Caramel MooLatteYou can easily indulge in a MooLatte at home anytime. This copycat recipe will give you the extra caffeine to get you through your day.
Inspired by: Crispy Chicken SandwichHere's our take on the Crispy Chicken Sandwich from Dairy Queen. We know everyone says theirs is better than the original, but ours really is.
Inspired by: Banana SplitServe up this classic Dairy Queen staple at home! We promise it's not as intimidating as it looks. Top scoops of your favorite vanilla ice cream with sauce, whipped cream, strawberry slices and bananas. Sprinkle a few nuts on top for good measure, too.
Inspired by: Cheese CurdsDQ's cheese curds are the ultimate in delicious comfort food. Dip them in ranch dressing, ketchup or barbecue sauce for the full experience.
Inspired by: Strawberry SundaeA simple scoop of vanilla ice cream topped with strawberry jam makes for the perfect treat. We like adding a handful of chocolate chips and chopped nuts to our sundae.
Inspired by: Chicken Strip BasketYou can skip the drive-thru and make these golden chicken fingers in your own kitchen. They're finger-licking good!
Inspired by: Strawberry ShakeNo matter what the temperature is outside, there's nothing quite like a cool strawberry shake to finish a meal. Garnish with a dollop of whipped cream for the finishing touch.
Inspired by: Onion RingsThese Dairy Queen-inspired onion rings are a healthy alternative to the deep-fried version. But don't worry, they're still as crispy as ever!
Inspired by: Mint Chip ShakeYup, we even have a copycat recipe for DQ's latest (and limited time) release: their Mint Chip Shake! Ours even uses up a handful of Thin Mints...talk about yum.
Inspired by: Hot Fudge SundaeOur hot fudge sauce always turns out smooth and yummy—just like DQ's. The dark chocolate flavor, with a hint of rum extract, is not overly sweet but will still satisfy a chocoholic's cravings when served over vanilla ice cream.
Inspired by: French FriesThere's nothing like fresh-cut, fresh-cooked french fries. This recipe you can make at home is so much better than any fast-food variety.
Inspired by: Cherry Misty FreezeBlend together a homemade Cherry Misty Freeze for a cool and refreshing treat. It's sure to hit the spot on both warm and cool days alike.
