[Sonic](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/oreo-big-scoop-cheesecake-sundae) Drive-In is introducing Trick or Treat Blasts for a limited time that combine three beloved mix-ins: M&M’s Minis, [SNICKERS](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/halloweekend-cookies) bar pieces and [OREO](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/exclusive-oreo-items) cookie pieces. The frozen desserts are available in Vanilla Trick or Treat Blast varieties, both of which are made with a base of 100% real vanilla ice cream.

As Halloween celebrations will look different this year, the Trick or Treat Blasts offer a simple way for those with a sweet tooth to indulge in their favorite flavors of the season. Scott Uehlein, vice president of product innovation and development for Sonic, says: "By packing in bites of Halloween favorites in each spoonful, we’ve captured the thrill of digging into a trick or treat haul in one frozen treat, served Sonic style."
