Dairy Queen took the awesome Reese\u2019s Peanut Butter Cup Blizzard, tossed in average brownie pieces, and added a glob of what I can only imagine Mr. Peanut\u2019s excrement must taste like &#8212; an incredibly cheap, artificial tasting peanut butter that is salty enough to make a 60\u2019s Star Trek salt vampire reach for a glass of water.<\/p>\n<p>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. <\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"display:block; margin-left:auto; margin-right:auto;\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.theimpulsivebuy.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/Dairy-Queen-Royal-Reese%E2%80%99s-Brownie-Blizzard-2.jpg?resize=447%2C600&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Dairy Queen Royal Reese s Brownie Blizzard 2\" title=\"Dairy Queen Royal Reese\u2019s Brownie Blizzard 2.jpg\" border=\"0\" width=\"447\" height=\"600\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The Reese\u2019s 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\u2019s-only bite is outstanding, but that entirely defeats the purpose of this Royal Blizzard.<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"display:block; margin-left:auto; margin-right:auto;\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.theimpulsivebuy.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/Dairy-Queen-Royal-Reese%E2%80%99s-Brownie-Blizzard-3.jpg?resize=550%2C554&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Dairy Queen Royal Reese s Brownie Blizzard 3\" title=\"Dairy Queen Royal Reese\u2019s Brownie Blizzard 3.jpg\" border=\"0\" width=\"550\" height=\"554\" \/><\/p>\n<p>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.
