Actually, it\u2019s the September Blizzard of the Month (sharing the stage with the return of the Pumpkin Pie Blizzard) and part of the fall Blizzard menu, which presumably means it will be available beyond September since most of the month is technically summer. Calendar confusion aside, this is a new offering from Dairy Queen and includes gooey brown sugar pie pieces, crunchy pecans (is there such a thing as non-crunchy pecans?), creamy caramel topping, and vanilla soft serve with whipped topping.<\/p>\n<h3>How is it?<\/h3>\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\/2021\/09\/pecanpieblizzard2.jpeg?resize=600%2C600&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Dairy Queen Pecan Pie Blizzard Pie Piece\" title=\"pecanpieblizzard2.jpeg\" border=\"0\" width=\"600\" height=\"600\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Remember in grade school when someone would say, \u201cIf you love it so much, why don\u2019t you marry it?\u201d The \u201cit\u201d in question could be anything, from a pudding cup to an embarrassed classmate. In this case, let\u2019s say it is the gooey brown sugar pie pieces. Yes, I would marry them, all of them. Just don\u2019t tell my wife. Seriously though, the little square pie pieces in here alone are worth the price of this Blizzard, both monetarily and physically for the higher-than-usual calorie count of this concoction compared to most other varieties.<\/p>\n<p>I had never heard of brown sugar pie prior to this, and now it\u2019s one of my new favorite things. The ingredients are basically flour, eggs, sugar, molasses, caramel, and sugar, which is probably what a kid in grade school would use if you asked one to make a pie, and maybe that\u2019s why it\u2019s so good. The pieces are really more chewy than gooey with a wonderfully satisfying sweet taste and texture, just like pecan pie filling.<\/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\/2021\/09\/pecanpieblizzard3.jpeg?resize=600%2C600&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Dairy Queen Pecan Pie Blizzard Spoon\" title=\"pecanpieblizzard3.jpeg\" border=\"0\" width=\"600\" height=\"600\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Now that I\u2019m done deifying the brown sugar pie pieces, the rest of this is pretty good too. The caramel topping does a great job of adding flavor to the soft serve, and the pecans are just fine. Mine had a few big ones on top for show and a lesser amount mixed into the Blizzard. The pecan flavor was there, but perhaps pushed aside a bit by the pie pieces and caramel. It would have been nice to have a few more pecans in there, but overall it\u2019s hard for me to find much fault with this Blizzard.<\/p>\n<h3>Anything else you need to know?<\/h3>\n<p>Even if you are not a fan of pecans, I would encourage you to give this a shot, and why wouldn\u2019t you follow the advice of some random guy on the internet? Even if you can\u2019t stand pecans, maybe try getting this without them. It will be worth the strange look you get for ordering a Pecan Pie Blizzard with no pecans.<\/p>\n<h3>Conclusion:<\/h3>\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\/2021\/09\/pecanpieblizzard4.jpeg?resize=600%2C800&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Dairy Queen Pecan Pie Blizzard Full\" title=\"pecanpieblizzard4.jpeg\" border=\"0\" width=\"600\" height=\"800\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Anything with the words pie and Blizzard in it is likely going to be good, but this was a surprisingly special treat.
