\"\"<\/p>\n

Reviewing Dairy Queen Blizzards is not easy. You might think I just go down to my local DQ, order a Blizzard, snap some photos, and write up a few hundred words about said Blizzard. OK, so that\u2019s exactly what I do, and it\u2019s pretty easy. The hard part is coming up with a rating. Because unlike some of the wild food items we review (the Archie McPhee Lobster Candy<\/a> comes to mind), any mixture of vanilla soft serve and candy, cake, brownie, or other sugar-packed ingredients is going to be good. The question is: How good? Well, the new Reese\u2019s Caramel Craze Blizzard might be the best of the best.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Not to be confused with the Summer Blizzard menu that has two new concoctions, the new Reese\u2019s Caramel Craze is the August Blizzard of the Month. It contains Reese\u2019s Peanut Butter Cups, along with salty caramel-filled truffles and chocolatey shavings.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

I\u2019m going to assume you know what a Reese\u2019s PB Cup Blizzard tastes like. For me, it\u2019s a solid 8, maybe even approaching a 9 if the DQ mixologist goes a little overboard with the PB cups. What makes the difference here is the truffles. They are truly glorious. I guess the truffles are added at the end of the mixing process, because while the PB Cups in my Blizzard were pulverized, the delicate truffles were all perfectly intact. When you bite into one, you can taste the chocolate coating and then the luscious caramel oozes out with just the right touch of saltiness. It might not look like much in the close-up photo of a single truffle, but that little thing is packed with goodness (and according to the DQ ingredient list, soy lecithin, whatever that is).<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

DQ has used salty caramel truffles a few times in the past, including with the Caramel Cannonball Blizzard back in 2019<\/a>. I gave that one a 10, and I\u2019m giving this one a 10 as well. Since I barely remember last week, much less six years ago, I can\u2019t tell you which is better. But what I can tell you is that if you like peanut butter cups and caramel, then you should make a trip to DQ sometime this month. I\u2019ll also be asking you to sign a petition I\u2019m working on to have DQ pledge to use salty caramel truffles in more Blizzards.<\/p>\n
