DQ’s Chocolate Dilly Bars
Life is like a box of chocolate …
~ Forest Gump
Believe it or not, last week I bought a total of 72 Dilly Bars! It is a good thing that Dairy Queen had a BOGO (buy-one-get-one) promotion or else it would have costs me quite a bit. I bought them as a treat for all the people in Best Buy who had so kindly paid for my farewell lunches. I think they all liked it.
This is my blog on the famous Dilly Bar from DQ.
The Dilly Bar is a delicious vanilla ice milk dipped in chocolate flavoured coating. Did you know that the Dilly is celebrating it’s 50th anniversary this year. Yup, it was first made in the year 1955.
Each box of Dilly Bars come with twelve 100ml bars. A box normally costs $16 (tax included). Effectively, with the BOGO, each box is about only $8. It’s a good thing they have a promotion at this time!
Most people does not know this but the Dilly Bars are made on the premises of each Dairy Queen. That sort of explains the twirly deal on each bar. It’s the twirly deal that makes the Dilly Bar so famous.
Oh, all this blogging is making me want one. Bye for now … gotta to get one from the fridge!

Hi Sandy: Thanks for the tip! I’ll be there on Monday and pick up a few packs on the way back from work. How did you know of the 1-for-1 deal? I can’t find it on the DQ website.

Hi just came across your Dilly bar blog. I think it’s neat that you like them so much. I also have a fondness for them as my Dad invented the dilly bar when he was just a boy in Kansas and named it too, not too many know that fact. He use to ride his horse down to the Dairy Queen in the evenings to get them both a ice cream cone. Well the owner of the Dairy Queen liked my Dad and his horse, so one evening he was watching the owner cleaning out his soft serve machine and tossing out all the ice cream, well that gave my Dad idea, why waste good ice cream. So he asked the owner if he could try something and he said sure. So my Dad got a cookie sheet tray and placed blobs of ice cream on the cookie sheet and then place it all in the deep freeze, as the ice cream was stiffing up he took the tray back out and stuck popsicle stick into each one and back to the freezer they went. The next evening my Dad showed back up with his horse and went inside to check on the ice cream. He pulled them out of the freezer and the owner asked now what? That’s when my Dad went over to the hard chocolate dipping sauce and dipped one of the bars in pulled it out and took a bit, looked up at the owner and said that’s one dilly of a bar, and that’s how it all started.
