a Doritos bag that plays music<\/a> and Dairy Queen for the Guardians Awesome Mix Blizzard Treat.<\/p>\nI think Frito-Lay got the better end of the integration stick, even though everything about the Guardians Blizzard sounds fantastic. I mean what\u2019s not to love about mini brookies (brownies and cookies baked together), caramel, and choco chunks blended with creamy vanilla soft serve? <\/p>\n
Brookies are pretty frickin\u2019 awesome! Except when you can\u2019t really taste them. <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
I should have suspected that it would be a hodge-podge of unidentifiable sweetness when the received treat looked nothing like hero shots featuring healthy chunks of brookies. My Blizzard looked more like chocolate chip ice cream and it tasted that way. It was good, but if I wanted plain chocolate chip ice cream, I would have just gone to the supermarket for a pint.<\/p>\n
As I continued to eat, I would occasionally get a bite of rich, delightful fudge – guessing that was from the brookie. Unfortunately, it was a fleeting delight that quickly faded back into the sugary indistinctness. I want bigger chunks, dangit! I think a brookie sundae in DQ\u2019s Hot Desserts section would have been much more satisfying.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
Also, I couldn\u2019t taste the caramel. I could see the remnants lining the cup, but no warm caramel notes at all – just cloying sweetness. As the cherry on top, said sweetness was paired with a strange artificial aftertaste. I couldn\u2019t tell if it was coming from the soft serve, the caramel, or the brookie?!<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
Even though all the mix-ins were a bit too blended for my liking, I did enjoy the texture. The soft serve was creamy and the mix-ins broke up the monotony of vanilla soft serve. I kept thinking that Cold Stone Creamery would make a killer version of this.<\/p>\n
Don\u2019t get me wrong. The Guardians Awesome Mix Blizzard isn\u2019t bad. It just isn\u2019t awesome. <\/p>\n
