I have been working at Dairy Queen on and off ever since I was 16 (I'm 20 now) and I have noticed a few delicious blizzards have not been getting the recognition they deserve. Most people tend to stick with their Oreo, Peanut Butter Cup, and Cookie Dough, but there is so much more to blizzards than just those three! Here are some blizzards that a typical customer my not know about:
1. Peanut Butter Crunch
This is geared to the people (including myself) who are obsessed with peanut butter. It's a simple recipe, calling for soft serve (duh), peanut butter sauce, and cake crunch (the crunchy part of the DQ ice cream cakes).
2. Reese's Pieces
That's it. That's the blizzard. It's the most simple blizzard on this list! If you haven't figured out, it's basically just ice cream and Reese's pieces, but the simplicity is what make it so tasty, especially if Reese's pieces are your favorite candies. The only issues with this blizzard is that not all Dairy Queens have the candy for it (the one I work at does, though. It's the one on West Chester Pike in the shopping center with the Burger King and Giant. Come visit!)
3. Georgia Mud Fudge
There's nothing like sitting back and listening to a customer say that they want a "Georgia Mudge Fudge" blizzard. The recipe includes cocoa fudge (intense chocolatey goodness), brownie bites, and pecans.
4. Caramel Waffle Crisp
This used to be one of the most popular blizzards when I first started working, but it has recently fizzled out. I don't understand why though. Who wouldn't want pieces of WAFFLE in their blizzard?! It comes with waffle pieces, caramel sauce, and chocolate chunks. So, it's basically chocolate covered waffle cone with caramel on top, all blended together into one cup of deliciousness.
5. Grasshopper Mousse Pie
This is my all time favorite blizzard. I have no idea why it has the word grasshopper in it, but I have never had a blizzard that's tastier than this one. My mouth is watering just typing this. It's definitely a different blizzard; it's once of those blizzards that no one really thought could be a thing beforehand (it just makes sense for a waffle crisp blizzard, right?). The recipe includes mint sauce, chocolate chunks and graham cracker pie crumbles (the same stuff that is used in the s'more blizzard and honestly, the best flavoring we have). The Grasshopper Mousse Pie has a unique taste, and I urge you to go out and try it!
Next time you go to a Dairy Queen, try one of these! Maybe you'll find a new favorite!
