***** Dairy Queen’s Funnel Cake a la Mode.

Simple tale to tell, about an hour ago Jeff Eats stopped by the Dairy Queen located at 2901 North Federal Highway, Pomapno Beach 33064, (954) 943-8390 to treat myself to a Blizzard- and low and behold- I discovered that last month Dairy Queen added a- $4.29 piping hot freshly made funnel cake topped with soft serve to its menu!

Anyway,

I passed on the Blizzard and got me-one of those Funnel Cake a la Mode “things”- and now I’m telling you guys that you gotta try this “thing”- off the chart delicious!

By the way, the Dairy Queen I went to – is open Sunday-Thursday, 11am-10:30pm and Friday-Saturday 11am-11pm.

Printed down below is the 5/31/16 press release that “announced” the Funnel Cake a la Mode’s arrival that Jeff Eats totally missed at the time.

To kick off the unofficial start to summer, the Berkshire Hathaway (NYSE: BRK.A and BRK.B) company is serving up the next big mashup that delivers the fun of the fair and a uniquely DQ® twist with the debut of Funnel Cake a la Mode, which will delight fans year-round as a permanent addition to the menu.

Funnel Cake a la Mode is the newest hot-from-the-oven dessert on the DQ Bakes!® menu. Funnel Cake a la Mode begins with a hot, crispy, golden brown funnel cake that’s dusted with powdered sugar and served with a side of cold, creamy signature DQ soft serve, all drizzled with a choice of hot fudge, caramel or strawberry topping.

“For dessert lovers looking for the next new and novel treat, we have it with a unique DQ twist,” said Barry Westrum, executive vice president of Marketing for American Dairy Queen Corporation (ADQ). “We all love funnel cake, but we may not have had it in a while. For the very first time the DQ system is introducing this beloved treat it to our fans and in a way that only we can offer.”

The Funnel Cake a la Mode is the latest innovation to come from the DQ Bakes! Institute, which was established to further inspire, develop and enhance future innovation coming from the DQ kitchen — ultimately, creating new and unique taste experiences fans can’t get anywhere else.

In addition to the Funnel Cake a la Mode, fans also will find on the DQ Bakes! menu Artisan-style Sandwiches Chicken Bacon Ranch, Chicken Mozzarella and Turkey BLT; Hot Desserts à la Mode of Triple Chocolate Brownie, Apple Tart and Fudge Stuffed Chocolate Chip Cookie; and Buffalo Chicken, Chicken Bacon BBQ and Chicken Quesadilla Snack Melts.

The featured Blizzard®-of-the-Month in June is the Cotton Candy Blizzard Treat, delectable cotton candy topping and colorful sprinkles blended with DQ’s creamy vanilla soft serve to create a sweet and unique treat for fans of all ages craving a taste of childhood. Blizzard Treats are made to order and are offered in four sizes, including the popular Mini.
