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](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/oreo-snowdrift-blizzard) 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.
