DQ Caramel Toffee Cookie Blizzard

[New for Fall 2025]  We've been putting most of our energy in to trying all of the cool local places in Worcester County (and beyond), but there is a new blizzard on the menu, so let's order a....

DQ Superman Cake Batter Cookie Dough Blizzard

[New for June 2025] Who's excited for the new Superman movie? I know I am, as our several people I know. I'm hoping we get back to what makes Superman such a great character. I've just never dug the Henry Cavill / Zach Snyder version of Superman (though I am a huge fan of the Tyler Hoechlin version). Anyway, before the movie comes out next month, the blizzard is here now!

DQ Confetti Cake Blizzard

[Returning for April 2024] You might remember my post from several weeks ago where we went to DQ and I was served the Cotton Candy blizzard instead of the Confetti Cake blizzard. Well, we made it back on 4/26 and I was able to try...

DQ Confetti Cake Blizzard

So, yeah, it's fine...ish, but it just didn't pop in any way. Cotton Candy Blizzard pops. The Sugar Cookie Blizzard popped. This blizzard just went "meh" when I tried it. Maybe I wanted big fluffy chunks of cake rather than small pieces of cake. Hopefully yours will be a bit more exciting.

At least it was better than the Superman blizzard I tried.

Verdict?  meh
Buy Again?  meh

Dairy Queen - April 2025

[New for April 2025] So what's up at DQ? They've got the new Mixing Bowl Mashup Blizzard, the return of the Confetti Cake Blizzard, and...

DQ Dipped Strawberry Cheesecake Blizzard

(choco chunks, strawberry topping, and cheesecake pieces)

You can't see the cheesecake, but it's in there. My wife has been getting a strawberry cheesecake blizzard the last few DQ trips anyway, so this was an easy choice for her and she said it was good.

As for me, I ordered the returning Confetti Cake blizzard, but the person on the radio heard "Cotton Candy" because my voice gave out for a second. I corrected it and they put confetti cake blizzard on my order/receipt. 

Welp, we get our order, drive down the road for a moment and pull in to a parking lot to enjoy our treats, but I don't have a confetti cake blizzard. I have a cotton candy blizzard. I'm sure DQ would have fixed it if I went back, but part of me hates the return process and the other part of me hates wasting, so I just ate it. It's not like the cotton candy blizzard isn't tasty (especially with a side of french fries, which I had).

We will probably head back next week for confetti cake, and then the week after for mixing bowl mashup (though it feels like we've had this blizzard before). Actually, next week is Easter.... but the week after is April vacation, so who knows when the next DQ trip will be.

DQ Orange Cream Shake

[New for 2025] Orange is not a go to flavor for me, but I did need something to go with my French Fries, so I tried....

Dairy Queen Orange Cream Flavored Shake

"a refreshing tart orange shake"

DQ Peppermint Hot Cocoa Blizzard

[New for Dec 2019] The Peppermint Hot Cocoa is back, and that's a good thing, because apparently I forgot to review it in 2019 or 2020. It seems like it's right up my alley, so let's take a spoonful of...

Dairy Queen Peppermint Hot Cocoa Blizzard

peppermint candy cane pieces, choco chunks, cocoa fudge blended in soft serve

DQ Picnic Peach Cobbler Blizzard

[New for Spring 2024] When you heard about the new peach blizzard at DQ, could you imagine what it would taste like? After trying it today, I can say that it probably tastes like how you imagine. At least it did for me.

DQ Frosted Sugar Cookie Blizzard

[New for Late 2022] How did I miss trying this one last year?

Dairy Queen Frosted Sugar Cookie Blizzard

sugar cookie pieces, icing, and festive sprinkles in soft serve

DQ Caramel Fudge Cheesecake Blizzard

[New for 2022] Yes, we are back at DQ! Wait, that probably doesn't make sense unless I mentioned that we were there a week before to get the always enjoyable, annual pumpkin pie blizzard fix. Anyway, we went back to try a blizzard that actually debuted last year. 

DQ Caramel Fudge Cheesecake Blizzard

(thought I saw caramel in the mix too but...)

DQ Cake Batter Cookie Dough Blizzard

[New for July 2023] This latest blizzard is.... fine. Not amazing. Not bad. Just fine.

Dairy Queen Cake Batter Cookie Dough Blizzard

soft serve mixed with cake batter flavor, confetti cookie dough pieces and sprinkles

I don't feel like I have a ton to say about this one. It's got a respectable cake batter flavor without being too strong or too sweet. The sprinkles are cute but inconsequential. The cookie dough is nice and soft, but my wife's blizzard had twice the cookie dough that I did. I was partially counting my cookie dough bits and I'm not sure I made it to double digits. 

Overall a decent blizzard. My wife had the thought of mixing in strawberry so maybe we'll go back and do that before the month is over. 

Verdict?  fine

Buy Again?  probably

DQ Oreo Brookie Blizzard

[New for Spring 2023] After a bit of afternoon shopping, it was food time. The lines were too long at Uhlman's, so we headed over to the nearest DQ to check out....

DQ Under the Rainbow Shake

[New for February 2023, back for 2024] During our Sunday adventures, we did manage to stop by DQ for a lunchtime snack. I didn't get a blizzard, but I did get a....

Dairy Queen Triple Truffle Blizzard

[New for Feb 2023] Doh! I went to DQ on Monday and totally forgot to post about it. Sorry about that. This one is the February Blizzard of the Month and it definitely carries some Valentine's Day vibes in the branding. I haven't had anything nutty in awhile, so fingers crossed that it's good.

DQ Cinnamon Roll Centers Blizzard Treat

[New for Sept 2022] We had a few hours to burn on Saturday, so we decided to stop at DQ and check out the new fall blizzard menu. I decided to go with the September blizzard of the month.

Dairy Queen Pumpkin Cookie Butter Shake

[New for late summer 2020] The Mrs and I finally made it back to DQ for the first time in a very long time (two years!). There wasn't anything in particular that I wanted from the menu, but then I noticed a sign for this shake and I knew we should get one to try.

DQ Cinnamon Roll Shake

[New for early Fall 2019] You know, I've reviewed a lot of shakes for this blog. In all I've reviewed some 123 drink like products and I can honestly say that this one has jumped near the top of the list for me. I adore cinnamon and I could not stop drinking...

DQ Heath Caramel Brownie Blizzard

[New for early Fall 2019] I wasn't really interested in my frozen meal at lunchtime today, and it's definitely feeling like summer out there, so I headed to DQ for....

Dairy Queen Harvest Berry Pie Blizzard

[New for 2019] While Pumpkin Pie is the official blizzard of September 2019 (and probably October 2019 and November 2019), a new friend snuck on to the blizzard board as well. Sure, it feels like it should have been the July or August blizzard, and at first it feels like a riff on the now departed summer berry cake cupfection, but I love me a new blizzard so...

DQ Snickers Peanut Butter Pie Blizzard

[New for August 2019] I feel like I haven't been to DQ very much recently, and I was ok with that, but then Marvo tweeted the August blizzard of the month last night and I instantly knew where I was going at lunch today.

Dairy Queen Snickers Peanut Butter Pie Blizzard

Snickers pieces, peanut butter, and graham blended in vanilla soft serve

DQ Cotton Candy Oreo Blizzard

Have I ever told you that I'm psychic? Ok, ok, I don't actually believe that I am psychic, but I do have a knack for guessing the outcomes of things. Do I have proof? Well, on Sunday I decided to order a Cotton Candy Blizzard with Oreo. I posted it to instagram early Monday morning because I was so stoked about my creation...

DQ Cotton Candy Oreo Blizzard

(how to order: cotton candy blizzard with added Oreo)

It was absolutely delicious. I'm still thinking about it 33 hours later. I'm a big fan of the regular cotton candy blizzard and this took it up a notch. The original is fun but very sweet. The Oreo helps bring both balance and more cookie crunch. Seriously, what's not too love here? Ok, the aftertaste is still pretty potent (in terms of sweetness), but I adored every bite of my creation.

Back to my story: So what comes out Monday afternoon? The Zero Gravity Blizzard. It's Oreos plus cotton candy topping just like my version, but then they add "space inspired iridescent blue and black swirls and galaxy sprinkles". If you've ever wanted a blizzard to give you strangely colored bowel movements like the Halloween Whopper, then this is the blizzard for you!

Say you aren't scared off by the mass amounts of food coloring, then you have another question. Do the added swirls mean that this thing is even sweeter than a regular cotton candy blizzard? or do they back off the cotton candy flavor a bit to balance it out with the two new swirls?

Whatever the answers, I think I am sticking to my version. It was delicious and I'm still proud of my creativity, even if it was probably obvious to some. I tend to go to DQ once a month for the blizzard of the month, but I got inspired and I'm glad it worked out for me (and my insides). If you try my version or theirs, let me know how it goes.

Verdict?  delicious sugar rush
Buy Again?  yes!

Allergy note: peanut oil in the cotton candy topping
