OK, it\u2019s regular vanilla soft serve. Just checking to make sure you are really reading this part of the review.<\/p>\n<h3>How is it?<\/h3>\n<p>It\u2019s good, but this one goes into the category of what I\u2019ll call the Taco Bell-style of Blizzard. While Taco Bell has introduced some new items lately that are actually new, like the Crispy Chicken Sandwich Taco, most of its \u201cnew\u201d introductions are just a slightly different combination of its core ingredients or the same combination from a few years ago that it thinks we forgot about. While Reese\u2019s Pieces are not generally on the standard DQ menu, there have been countless Blizzards with Reese\u2019s Peanut Butter Cups and\/or cookie dough, so I can\u2019t give the DQ folks many creativity points here.<\/p>\n<p>I realize with the seasonal Blizzard menus, the Blizzard of the Month (which is sometimes more than one), and other new Blizzards throughout the year that every Blizzard can\u2019t be a mind-blowing creation, and there\u2019s nothing at all wrong with this one. It\u2019s quite good, but I doubt my opinion is going to sway you on this one.<\/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\/10\/reesespiecesdoughblizzard2.jpeg?resize=600%2C600&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Dairy Queen Reese s Pieces Cookie Dough Blizzard Top\" title=\"reesespiecesdoughblizzard2.jpeg\" border=\"0\" width=\"600\" height=\"600\" \/><\/p>\n<p>If you like Reese\u2019s Pieces (or PB Cups) and cookie dough, then this is going to be a winner for you. If you are not on Team Reese\u2019s, then this probably isn\u2019t for you. I will say that the crunch of the Pieces in a Blizzard is a nice change compared to PB Cups, which have a consistency similar to the cookie dough. Even though there are chocolate chip cookie dough pieces in this, the chocolate flavor gets pushed aside by the power of peanut butter. So if the chocolate part is important to you, then maybe ask them to add in a bit of chocolate fudge topping or chocolate chunks.<\/p>\n<h3>Anything else you need to know?<\/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\/10\/reesespiecesdoughblizzard3.jpeg?resize=600%2C450&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Dairy Queen Reese s Pieces Cookie Dough Blizzard Spoon\" title=\"reesespiecesdoughblizzard3.jpeg\" border=\"0\" width=\"600\" height=\"450\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Assuming that the nutrition info on the DQ website is correct \u2014 which is not always a safe assumption because, in the past, the chain has challenged the laws of both math and science by listing negative numbers for dietary fiber \u2014 this is the highest calorie Blizzard I can remember seeing. The small size has a whopping 900 calories, and the large has 1,710 calories, along with 81 grams of fat and 192 carbs. Wow.<\/p>\n<h3>Conclusion:<\/h3>\n<p>At the risk of hurting the feelings of this Blizzard, there\u2019s nothing special about it.
