Maybe I can now be one of those people who can taste &#8220;notes of honeysuckle&#8221; in a glass of wine because I&#8217;ve become a flavor detective? It would be nice to think I got something out of this experience.<\/p>\n<p>I had this twice and had a different reaction the second time. The first time, the brownie bits were missing chocolate flavor, and I was complaining that it was too bland. The second time, the brownie bits seemed much more flavorful. Was my palette fatigued the first time, or maybe I just got a few bigger brownie chunks in my mix the second time? The second event sounds more likely. When I properly tasted them, the brownie bits had a satisfying unctuousness and chocolatey bitterness.<\/p>\n<p>Moving on to the Snickers, I think this would have worked if the candy bar pieces were a little bigger, but as it stands, it&#8217;s hard to discern much flavor. I didn&#8217;t taste major Snickers components like nougat and peanuts; there was caramel flavor, but it was kind of muted. The caramel did stick to my teeth though, so at least it was definitely present.<\/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\/2022\/09\/dqsnickbrownbliz2.jpeg?resize=500%2C500&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Dairy Queen Snickers Brownie Blizzard Spoon\" title=\"dqsnickbrownbliz2.jpeg\" border=\"0\" width=\"500\" height=\"500\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The DQ description states that the Blizzard has &#8220;caramel topping,&#8221; which in this case means that the topping was mixed into the vanilla soft serve ice cream. This manages to make the soft serve even sweeter than normal, but it doesn&#8217;t really register as caramel flavor; it just amps up the vanilla.<\/p>\n<p>Because of the brownie bits&#8217; chewiness and the caramel&#8217;s sticky nature, there was textural variation, so the treat has that going for it. It&#8217;s just a little underpowered in the flavor department. This is the first Blizzard I can remember having where I felt the vanilla soft serve, bolstered by the caramel bits in the mix, completely overpowered any other flavors.<\/p>\n<p>Look, Dairy Queen has a lot of Blizzards on its menu, and most of them are pretty darn good. Everyone has an off day once in a while, and I have compassion for that. I allow Dairy Queen a swing-and-a-miss, and that&#8217;s what we have here. If you want a Blizzard and are tempted to get this, unless you&#8217;ve got a real yen for brownie bits, you may want to get an Oreo Blizzard instead. In that treat, the bitterness of the chocolate contrasts with the vanilla soft serve in a truly delightful way, consistently. I&#8217;m actually sitting here feeling kind of cheated because I could have got an Oreo Blizzard (twice!) but got this instead.
