Just in time for the hot summer days ahead, Burger King has launched new BK Blasts in Canada.
The new BK Blasts are similar to the popular frozen ice cream desserts sold by another major fast food chain. Each one consists of a creamy and crunchy combination of vanilla ice cream and candy or cookie pieces. The Oreo BK Blast features crushed up Oreo cookie pieces, while the Smarties BK Blast features a blend of soft serve and Smarties candies – a Canadian candy that consists of a colored candy shell filled with milk chocolate.
Currently, the BK Blasts are only offered in one size and can be found at participating Burger King locations across Canada for just a limited time.
