Yes, it has caramel, and a lot of it, with that word appearing three times in what DQ says is a mix of vanilla soft-serve with caramel-coated caramel truffles, toffee pieces, and caramel topping.<\/p>\n<h3>How is it?<\/h3>\n<p>Do you know how in fast food commercials the people eating are always smiling, laughing and generally looking a bit too overjoyed to be munching on a $5 value meal? That\u2019s how I behaved while eating this Blizzard, which was a little strange since I was dining alone. But it was just that good, even great. <\/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\/2019\/04\/Dairy-Queen-Caramel-Cannonball-Blizzard-Spoonful.jpg?resize=600%2C626&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Dairy Queen Caramel Cannonball Blizzard Spoonful\" title=\"Dairy Queen Caramel Cannonball Blizzard Spoonful.jpg\" border=\"0\" width=\"600\" height=\"626\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The caramel topping brings a light brown color to the mix and a subtle flavor to the soft-serve, and the toffee pieces add a nice crunch and buttery taste that pairs perfectly with the topping. But the caramel-coated caramel truffles really complete the mix, even beyond their alliterative brilliance. The coating would have been good on its own, but when you bite into a truffle and release the gooey caramel trapped inside you\u2019ll find yourself furiously digging around for the next one. <\/p>\n<h3>Is there anything else you need to know?<\/h3>\n<p>Another similar truffle, the chocolate-coated caramel variety, has been used sparingly by DQ in past Blizzard concoctions, including the Triple Truffle (along with fudge and peanut butter), and a salted caramel truffle was featured in the not-so-creatively-named Salted Caramel Truffle Blizzard. This version appears to be the first time a caramel-coated caramel one has been thrown into the mix, and I hope it\u2019s not the last.<\/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\/2019\/04\/Dairy-Queen-Caramel-Cannonball-Blizzard-Caramel-Truffle.jpg?resize=600%2C702&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Dairy Queen Caramel Cannonball Blizzard Caramel Truffle\" title=\"Dairy Queen Caramel Cannonball Blizzard Caramel Truffle.jpg\" border=\"0\" width=\"600\" height=\"702\" \/><\/p>\n<p>I must admit that truffle is one of those words I\u2019ve never been completely clear on and been too lazy to seek clarification. I know what the Truffle Shuffle is from watching \u201cThe Goonies\u201d countless times, but I\u2019ve always thought it was a type of mushroom.<\/p>\n<p>It turns out they&#8217;re not, but they&#8217;re a mushroom-like fungus. Not being a fan of mushrooms or mushroom-like fungi, I\u2019ve generally stayed away from them, only to find out that chocolate, peanut butter, caramel, etc. truffles are named simply because of their resemblance to the fungus. The point of that little story is to let any other linguistically-challenged readers rest easy in knowing that there are no mushrooms or fungi in this Blizzard, just sugary goodness.<\/p>\n<h3>Conclusion:<\/h3>\n<p>It\u2019s always tempting to say the last great thing you had was the greatest ever, and with plenty of tasty Blizzard flavors over the years I\u2019ll refrain from crowning this one king (or perhaps more appropriately, queen) of all Blizzardtopia. But for me, this one is a rightful heir to the throne, and with an untimely demise or two from above, I might bow down and say this is my favorite of all-time.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Purchased Price:<\/strong> $2.89<br \/>\n<strong>Size:<\/strong> Mini<br \/>\n<strong>Rating:<\/strong> 10 out of 10<br \/>\n<strong>Nutrition Facts:<\/strong> (Mini) 470 calories, 21 grams of fat, 12 grams of saturated fat, <br \/>0.5 gram of trans fat, 40 milligrams of cholesterol, 250 milligrams of sodium, 64 grams of carbohydrates, 0 grams of dietary fiber, 50 grams of sugar, and 8 grams of protein.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What is the Caramel Cannonball Blizzard?
