\"\"<\/p>\n

For Halloween 2023, Sonic is offering revamped Trick or Treat Blasts, which include Mini M&M\u2019s, Heath candy pieces, and Oreo cookie pieces, all mixed together in soft-serve ice cream. They are available in vanilla and chocolate.<\/p>\n

If you don\u2019t have a lot of time, I\u2019ll sum it up quickly: This is basically an M&M\u2019s shake. There, now you can go to the pumpkin patch (or the haunted house or the apple orchard or whatever else you\u2019re doing this time of year).<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Instead of eating it in my car in the stall at Sonic, I opted to get the chocolate version in the drive-through, then took it home and enjoyed it in the autumn afternoon.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The Mini M&M\u2019s were by far the most noticeable element of the Blast. Since cold M&M\u2019s are crunchy, I was crunching my way through the entire treat. There were M&M\u2019s in almost every bite, even when I took a small bit of ice cream in my spoon. I liked them, and I\u2019m glad they were there, but sometimes I just wanted a moment without them. (Is that what it\u2019s like having kids?)<\/p>\n

The Oreo pieces were slightly softened from the soft serve. If you\u2019re a reader of this site, you probably know what it\u2019s like to have Oreo cookies in ice cream, so I don\u2019t need to elaborate on what they were like.<\/p>\n

The Heath pieces were least noticeable to me. Since the M&M\u2019s were already crunchy, it was hard to notice if I was crunching on toffee instead. I did have one bite where I thought, \u201cOh yeah, I can definitely taste the toffee here!\u201d<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

As for the soft serve, it was enjoyable but unremarkable. The abundant M&M\u2019s really overpowered the flavor. My Blast wasn\u2019t very well mixed, and I didn\u2019t notice much difference between the vanilla (before I mixed it) and the chocolate (after I mixed it).<\/p>\n

I enjoyed the Trick or Treat Blast, but I just didn\u2019t find it that interesting. It was too similar to other products. And as a sucker for anything holiday related, I wished it had a stronger seasonal connection. I don\u2019t think I ever got a Heath bar or Oreo cookies in my trick-or-treat pillowcase. And if Sonic wasn\u2019t going to add any flavors more interesting than chocolate, it at least could have added some spooky colors somewhere.<\/p>\n

The Trick or Treat Blast is, well, not much of a blast. It\u2019s tasty, but I don\u2019t think it\u2019s worth going out of your way for it.<\/p>\n
