MINNEAPOLIS - Minnesota-based Dairy Queen is releasing a special one-of-a-kind blizzard in honor of Major League baseball's Opening Day, except this sweet treat will not be available in Minnesota.

For the first time in 50 years, all 30 Major League teams will play on the same day. To mark the occasion, Dairy Queen will release the “Triple Play Blizzard” featuring a vanilla soft serve base with caramel coated peanuts, caramel popcorn brittle, and chocolate chunks. The treat is topped off with chocolate drizzled caramel corn and pretzel rods.

However, because this blizzard is so special, it is only being released in the 15 cities and locations where the MLB Opening games are being played. The Minnesota Twins begin the 2018 campaign on the road against Baltimore.

States featuring the Blizzard include AZ, CA, FL, GA, KY, MD, MI, MO, NY, TX, WA and Ontario. You can find a full list of locations here.

KARE 11 reached out to Dairy Queen to see if the Blizzard will, at some point, make its way north into the company's home state. A spokesperson responded, "If this special Triple Play Blizzard treat is well received by DQ fans in those 15 stores, we’ll look to bring it back system-wide for spring in 2019!"
