Dairy Queen's summer snack options just keep on getting better and better!

According to Instagram foodie Snackolator, the ice creamery is adding a third type of special topping to its lineup, joining the new Confetti Dipped Cone and Cherry Dipped Cone that are already in stock.

Now, customers can also try out the new Not-So-Secret Peanut Butter Brittle Crunch Cone, which, according to the brand, features a "peanuty flavor, a satisfyingly crunchy texture and colorful sprinkles throughout." And, of course, "beneath that coating is the world-famous DQ® soft serve you know and love."

It's a playful new option that seems to be based on a hack that previously went viral on social media, making the "secret menu" item official—at least for now.

The cone appears on DQ's online ordering system, so it seems to be ready for enjoyment in stores, much like the rest of the latest editions to the beloved dessert provider's menu.

For the summer, Blizzards are getting a tune-up with the return of limited-time flavors Frosted Animal Cookie, Brownie Batter, and Cotton Candy, as well as three brand new flavors: Peanut Butter Cookie Dough Party, Picnic Peach Cobbler and Ultimate Cookie.

"For decades, we’ve kept our more than 170 delicious Blizzard Treat flavors sealed in the DQ FREEZER for safekeeping. Thanks to our fans, we are opening the doors for the very first time to bring back the Blizzard Treats they never forgot for a limited time,” said Maria Hokanson, executive vice president, marketing at ADQ, in a statement.

So, if any of the above tickle your fancy, we suggest getting your hands on one sooner rather than later, because who knows the next time they'll be released from the proverbial vault.
