In the interest of full disclosure:
- The true answer to The Ultimate Question of Life, the Universe, and Everything is not 42, it is in fact, peanut butter.
- Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups are the George Washington of the Candy Mount Rushmore.
- Brownies make cake their bitch.
That should put in perspective how excited I was for the latest Royal Blizzard, and why I hope you heed my warning. Dairy Queen took the awesome Reese’s Peanut Butter Cup Blizzard, tossed in average brownie pieces, and added a glob of what I can only imagine Mr. Peanut’s excrement must taste like — an incredibly cheap, artificial tasting peanut butter that is salty enough to make a 60’s Star Trek salt vampire reach for a glass of water.
The Blizzard certainly makes a good first impression with both peanut butter cups and brownie pieces giving you their best come hither from the top of the vanilla soft serve. When isolated, the brownie has a slight fudgy quality but is unremarkable in every way.
The Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups are perfection incarnate as always, but the peanut butter core is nothing like the uniform comet shape shown online. Instead, a glob of the creamed legume rested just beneath the surface. This ended up being a blessing in disguise as, to put it bluntly, the poor distribution prevented it from entirely ruining the rest of the treat. A Reese’s-only bite is outstanding, but that entirely defeats the purpose of this Royal Blizzard.
Be aware that while this is the October 2017 Blizzard of The Month, it has been consistently on the menu for a few months now. Regardless, don’t waste your time or extra pocket change on this one, just go with the classic Reese’s only Blizzard and BYOPB (and who doesn’t?) if you really want to add a core.

Or go to yogurtstory and make your own reeses mix in with their new ice cream..its so good
I tried it, it was very good. The reviewer must have been smoking something before trying it.
Wow, two unpleasant, out of place turns of phrase in one review! What a treat!
I bought the blizzard a month ago. So i am surprised this is flavor of the month.
And it did suck…. i will not buy it again. These are not B&J brownies, these are terrible.
I literally felt sad and wished I just bought a plain vanilla (stole some from family). The brownies were just so terrible and so abundant. The plain was superior.
