The 11 Best Blizzard Flavors, Ranked
Long before brain freeze can set in, a different kind of mental anguish takes over: Figuring out which glorious, mix-in-laden Blizzard to order at Dairy Queen. There are so many flavors (and don't even get us started on the Blizzard of the Month).
If you've ever started to order, paused, changed your mind, went back to your original order, then called an audible and went completely rogue-only to experience a mild case of DQ FOMO over the flavors you didn't try-we wanted to help you out. After a taste test and more debating than the average presidential election, these are the fast food chain's absolute best flavors.
11. Snickers
The candy bar pieces are so finely ground up that you only get the faintest crunch of peanut. Still, Snickers fans and picky eaters alike will love this inoffensive vanilla treat.
10. Banana Split
It's as close to a fruit cup as you can get while still shoveling in 290-780 calories per serving, thanks to its blend of pineapples, strawberries, bananas and chocolaty topping in vanilla soft serve.
9. M&M
Don't you dare call it a McFlurry.
8. Turtle Pecan Cluster
Milky vanilla soft serve flirts with its decadent side: Each Blizzard is swirled with pecan pieces, chocolate and ribbons of buttery caramel.
7. Strawberry Cheesecake
It tastes just like someone dumped your favorite diner cheesecake-complete with the requisite, semi-gelatinous-yet-still-delectable strawberry topping-in a blender with a few scoops of ice cream.
6. Chocolate Xtreme
This Blizzard is the Dairy Queen equivalent of a Powerthirst ad: "HEY, do you want to eat So. Much. Chocolate?! Try the Chocolate Xtreme, a Blizzard for people WHO NEED GRATUITOUS AMOUNTS OF CHOCOLATE." The sugar high is also like adding chocolate to an electrical storm.
5. Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough
As if chewy orbs of cookie dough weren't enough, this Blizzard includes fudge. Fudge.
4. Salted Caramel Truffle
Imagine tiny bonbons filled with gooey, salted caramel, floating in ice cream with toffee pieces, fudge and chocolate chunks. Then stop imagining and get thee to a DQ, because the end result is even better than your daydreams.
3. Oreo
Cookies & Creme is a crowdpleaser, and this one doesn't disappoint.
2. Butterfinger
It's so simple, yet so delightful: The Butterfinger bits don't get soggy in the ice cream, and they add a nice chocolate-peanut butter flavor (not to mention crunch!) to each bite.
1. Brownie Batter
Though this Blizzard is technically made with vanilla soft serve, you'd never know it. The brownie batter overtakes everything-as it should-providing you with a otherworldly treat that's as if a delightfully clumsy baker dropped a pan full of micro-brownies into a vat of chilled batter. And you can eat it all without worrying about salmonella.
