Fan-Favorite Trick or Treat Blast Returns to Sonic for Halloween

ByMaria Hayes

Sonic Drive-In is kicking off the spooky season with the return of a beloved candy-filled dessert. The Trick or Treat Blast – a fan-favorite ice cream treat packed with Halloween candy – is back on the menu by popular demand. This means you don’t have to wait until October 31st to indulge in trick-or-treat flavors; Sonic is bringing the Halloween fun early with this festive limited-time treat.

What Is the Trick or Treat Blast?

Sonic’s Trick or Treat Blast is essentially a candy-packed ice cream dessert that combines multiple sweets in one cup. It’s part of Sonic’s line of Blast treats (think of it as Sonic’s version of a Dairy Queen Blizzard) that mix soft-serve ice cream with tasty add-ins. As the name suggests, this special-edition Blast throws a whole trick-or-treater’s stash of candy pieces into the mix, creating a fun, crunchy twist on the classic sundae.

Key ingredients and features of the Trick or Treat Blast:

  • Soft-Serve Base: A choice of vanilla or chocolate soft-serve as the creamy foundation.
  • Candy Mix-Ins: Three kinds of popular candies are blended in – Heath toffee bits, M&M’s Minis, and Oreo cookie pieces.
  • Toppings: It’s finished with extra pieces of those candies sprinkled on top for an added festive crunch.

The result is a sweet, crunchy treat that delivers a little bit of everything in each bite – chocolate, cookies, toffee, and ice cream all together.

When and How Can You Get One?

If you’re eager to try this treat, here’s the timeline. Sonic gave early access to the Trick or Treat Blast via the Sonic App starting on September 22, meaning you can order it through the app before anyone else. It will then launch at Sonic drive-in locations nationwide on September 29 for all customers.

Keep in mind this dessert is a limited-time offer for the Halloween season – it’s only available through the end of October, after which it will likely vanish from the menu. In other words, once Halloween passes, so does your chance to get this treat (at least until it potentially returns again in the future).

Price: A medium Trick or Treat Blast costs around $6.39 (plus tax) on average. Pricing may vary by location, and of course you can expect smaller or larger sizes to adjust the price, but roughly six to seven dollars is what you’ll pay for a mid-sized Blast loaded with candy.

Why Fans Are Excited

Sonic fans have been craving the return of the Trick or Treat Blast, and it’s easy to see why. This dessert packs in three of the most popular candy mix-ins at once, covering all the bases from crunchy chocolate candy to buttery toffee and chocolatey cookie pieces. It’s basically Halloween candy in ice cream form, which hits that nostalgic sweet spot for anyone who remembers digging through a trick-or-treat bag as a kid.

It’s no wonder social media is already buzzing with excitement – after all, who could resist an indulgent ice cream overflowing with Oreos, M&M’s, and Heath bar pieces?

A Treat That Also Gives Back

Sonic’s Halloween dessert isn’t just about indulging your sweet tooth – it’s also contributing to a good cause. Through the chain’s Limeades for Learning initiative, a portion of every Trick or Treat Blast purchase is donated to support public education programs. Since 2009, Sonic has donated over $30 million to local schools via this program. So while you’re treating yourself, you’re also helping support teachers and classrooms – a win-win Halloween treat!

In summary, Sonic has brought back the Trick or Treat Blast to delight ice cream lovers and Halloween fans alike – but remember, it will only be around for a short time. If you love candy in your ice cream, this is the ultimate seasonal treat to try. Be sure to swing by a Sonic (or fire up the Sonic App) to trick-or-treat yourself to one of these Blasts before they disappear again after Halloween!
