Blended Candy QSR Desserts

The Burger King Blasts are Arriving in Canada in Two New Options

— May 18, 2023 — Lifestyle
The Burger King Blasts are being added to the brand's menu at participating locations in Canada as an ice cream-based treat arriving to coincide with the upcoming summertime season in mind. The dessert starts off with a base of soft serve ice cream that's blended with candy to give each bite a creamy, textural profile that's great for enjoyment in place of traditional cones. The treat is being launched in two varieties including the Oreo Blast and Smarties Blast, which both put their namesake treat in the spotlight to satisfy fans of all kinds.

The Burger King Blasts are perfect for enjoyment with a spoon to make them ideal for sharing and are arriving as a permanent menu item.
