The mint-flavored Dippin’ Dots chocolate bar is coming “straight from mint to retirement!”
For six years, the innovative ice cream brand has received “overwhelming customer demand” for a revival of a cool and refreshing taste, they said in a press release. Each cup combines their signature mini balls of mint and creamy chocolate.
“Bringing back this classic flavor is our way of showing how much we appreciate our loyal customers and our commitment to delivering the treats they love,” Dippin’ Dots Vice President of Marketing Kimmra Hingher said in a statement.
“We’re excited to see the buzz from those trying it for the first time and the excitement from those who missed it!”

The returning flavor will be available across the US at locations including theme parks, stadiums, zoos, arenas, Dippin’ Dots storefronts and shopping malls. Mint Chocolate fanatics can also buy this flavor online in bulk.
Among Dippin’ Dots’ many fans are Philadelphia Eagles alumnus Jason Kelce and the brother of Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce. “The best thing about any amusement park isn’t the rides,” Jason, 36, said in a clip from his New heights podcast shared on Instagram in October 2023. “It’s Dippin’ Dots.”
“It’s the ice cream of the future that’s been the ice cream of the future for 40 years and it’s never been made outside of theme parks,” he joked.

Travis, 35, then revealed that Dippin’ Dots had actually made it to his teammate Patrick Mahomes’ house. He has a freezer full of them in his garage, Travis said.
A few weeks after the podcast, Jason was able to secure his own Dippin Dots freezer for the Eagles offensive lineman while he was still with the team. Jason’s favorite flavor is not Mint Chocolate, but Banana Split, according to the brand.
Other popular food chains have resurrected favorite items at the request of fans. Taco Bell has brought back its delicious double-decker taco, which was last available in December 2023, after a fan called the restaurant chain “cowards.”
