Low calorie treats: size first
Every DQ treat comes in several sizes, and the smallest one is the easiest way to cut calories without giving up the treat. A Kids' Cone (160) or Kids' Dipped Cone (200) is a third of a Medium Blizzard; a Small Hot Fudge Sundae has 300. Skip the malt and the extra toppings — each adds to the count.
