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](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/confetti-cookie-dough-mcflurry) 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.
