There is a product at Dairy Queen known as the Crunch Cone. It is a simple soft serve ice cream cone covered in a topping known as Crunch Coat. Crunch Coat is made up of sprinkles, crushed peanuts, and magic crunchy things that can’t be explained. It is a fantastic treat and rare find.
You see, if a Dairy Queen franchise does offer the Crunch Cone, it usually can’t be found on the menu. You need to special order it, like you’re a celebrity. And the majority of Dairy Queens don’t even carry Crunch Coat any longer.
So, my mission is clear. To find the Dairy Queens across the Twin Cities metro area that carry the Crunch Cone. Calling and asking if they have the Crunch Cone is cheating. I will go there, ask, purchase, and take a picture with this magnificent and little known dessert.
If you have found a Dairy Queen that carries the Crunch Cone, feel free to take your own picture and add it to the Flickr group. I’ll spread the word.
Let’s get to work, people. Summer is winding down!

Not listed on the menu you have to ask for the holy grail.
Not a DQ, but have a small soft serve shop in west cntral Illinois and we serve crunch cote.

I am a fellow crunch cone nut – pun intended – and have been missing this since they discontinued it YEARS ago and freaked out when I got a tip that it was still available.
I got a 6 lb box. They recommend freezing it because it’s a nut product, which I did. It has lasted me a long time.
I had a relative get it for me from the following. This is a wholesale supplier, so they don’t normally sell to the public.
The official product is Sprinkle King Almond 42394 – 6 lb box:

I had a large vanilla crunch cone last night is Lima, OH at the DQ! Both Lima locations carry crunch cones!! I recommend the vanilla over the chocolate. Delicious!
