The classic childhood snack of "dirt and worms" is getting an upgrade in the form of Dairy Queen's new Oreo Dirt Pie Blizzard.
For those unfamiliar, dirt and worms is a kid's snack that combines chocolate pudding with crushed chocolate cookies, and gummy worms to resemble real dirt. Now Dairy Queen has put a spin on this classic dish by combining Oreo cookie pieces, gummy worms, and fudge crumble with creamy vanilla soft serve. The new Dairy Queen's Oreo Dirt Pie Blizzard is part of the brand's seasonal 2022 'All-Star' summer Blizzard line-up. Other treats in the lineup include the Girl Scout Thin Mints Blizzard, the Very Cherry Chip Blizzard, the Drumstick with Peanuts Blizzard, and more.
