Dinosaur-Inspired Desserts

You'll Want to Take a Chomp Out of the Jurassic Dairy Queen Blizzard

Now that the release of the new Jurassic Park movie is nearing, Universal Pictures is making the most of co-branded partnerships to entice people to the theater with treats like the new Dairy Queen Blizzard.

This chilled snack called the Dairy Queen Jurassic Smash Blizzard is a combination of peanut butter cookies "smashed together with" chocolate chip cookie dough, peanut butter, chocolate chunks blended in a creamy vanilla soft serve. Although the dessert is far less terrifying than it looks, the treat is still a delicious way to make the most of the upcoming Jurassic World title.

DQ's comical ad for the Dairy Queen Jurassic Smash Blizzard features a guy who cleverly chooses to have his order to stay, while a dinosaur rampage is happening outdoors.
