Cotton Candy Dipped Cones

Dairy Queen is Testing Out a New Pink Cotton Candy Cone

Dairy Queen's dipped cones are one of its most popular menu items and now it looks like there might be a new Pink Cotton Candy Cone option for fans to try.

According to the food new influencer Snackolator, Dairy Queen is currently testing a new Pink Cotton Candy Cone. The new menu item was actually introduced four years ago as a Cotton Candy Dipped Cone in a baby blue hue. This time around, the cone features a pretty pink shell.

Unfortunately for cotton candy fans, details about the new Pink Cotton Candy Cone are sparse. All that's known is that Dairy Queen is currently testing the new product in select markets right now, which means you'll have to keep your eyes peeled if you want to try this sweet treat.
