10. Snickers Brownie Blizzard Treat

A satisfying combo of chopped Snickers bars and dense brownie pieces delivers layers of caramel, chocolate, and crunch in every bite. The creamy soft serve plays a cool backdrop to the chewy, nutty chaos inside this Blizzard.

Fans of texture will enjoy the wild ride of nougat, fudge, and peanuts colliding. The brownies offer fudgy richness while the Snickers brings that familiar candy-bar hit, making each spoonful a little different from the last.

Still, its unpredictability can be a downside. Some bites feel too sugary, others too dense. It’s bold and sweet, but not the most balanced on the list.

9. Butterfinger Blizzard Treat

The Butterfinger Blizzard leans into nostalgic candy territory, mixing crispy candy bar bits into vanilla soft serve for a texture-packed indulgence. The peanut buttery shards provide a distinctive crunch and a sweet-savory note that sets it apart.

Butterfinger’s iconic flaky texture shines here, adding a caramelized edge to every bite. It’s loud, bold, and not afraid to crumble into delicious chaos across the soft, creamy base.

While satisfying, it can come off gritty for some. The candy can feel overly sticky or crumbly in spots. It’s craveable for Butterfinger lovers, but not the most refined entry in DQ’s arsenal.

8. M&M’s Milk Chocolate Candies Blizzard Treat

Bright and cheerful, the M&M’s Blizzard is a candy-lover’s classic. The colorful milk chocolate candies stay crisp inside the soft serve, bringing both crunch and visual fun to this playful dessert.

As the M&M’s slowly melt, the chocolate blends into the vanilla base for occasional waves of rich sweetness. It’s a clean, simple combo with mass appeal that kids and adults both enjoy.

That simplicity is its strength and its weakness. With no sauce or mix-in variation, it can taste a little flat after a while. It’s safe and satisfying—but not the most exciting flavor in DQ’s rotation.

7. Mint Oreo Cookies Blizzard Treat

Mint fans will find a lot to love in this frosty twist on a classic. Cool mint flavor mingles with Oreo cookie crumbles in a pairing that feels both indulgent and refreshing in equal measure.

The peppermint hits quickly, then softens into creamy sweetness as the cookie pieces lend texture and depth. It’s like eating a frozen, minty sandwich cookie with every spoonful.

Its bold flavor makes it stand out, though that same intensity may limit its appeal for some. It’s not an everyday Blizzard, but when the mint craving hits, it delivers something special you won’t soon forget.

6. Oreo Cookies Blizzard Treat

No Blizzard lineup would be complete without this icon. Crushed Oreo cookies folded into creamy vanilla soft serve make this simple combo an enduring favorite across all ages and seasons.

The cookies soften just enough to mimic the feel of dunked Oreos while still holding their chocolatey crunch. Every bite is perfectly familiar—sweet, creamy, and nostalgia-packed.

It may lack the novelty of newer flavors, but what it offers is consistency and universal appeal. There’s a reason this one’s stuck around for decades. It’s reliable, timeless, and exactly what you expect in the best way possible from Dairy Queen.

5. Royal New York Cheesecake Blizzard Treat

Dairy Queen gets decadent with this one. Real chunks of rich cheesecake are mixed into soft serve along with graham cracker crumbles and a sweet strawberry filling at the center.

The cheesecake brings velvety texture, while the fruity core cuts through the richness with bright bursts of berry. Combined with the soft crunch of graham, it echoes a slice of strawberry cheesecake—only colder.

Its only downside is density—this is a heavy dessert that might be too rich for some. But if you’re craving something indulgent and dessert-forward, few Blizzards deliver the same luxurious payoff with every loaded spoonful.

4. The Chocolate Covered Cherry Blizzard

Channeling the flavor of a classic candy box, this Blizzard combines cherry topping and chocolate chunks to recreate that beloved chocolate-covered cherry taste in frozen form.

The fruitiness brings a sharp contrast to the dark chocolate pieces, giving it an almost romantic richness. It’s sweet without being syrupy and manages to stay light despite the bold mix-ins.

That said, it’s definitely a niche flavor. If you’re not a fan of fruit-chocolate combos, it may feel a little offbeat. But for those who adore the duo, it’s an underrated gem that blends classic confectionery vibes with DQ magic.

3. Reese’s Peanut Butter Cup Blizzard Treat

Peanut butter lovers, this one’s for you. Chopped Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups are blended into vanilla soft serve, creating a salty-sweet dream that’s both rich and creamy.

The chocolate melts slightly while the peanut butter stays bold and nutty, delivering contrast in every bite. It’s comfort food in dessert form and one of DQ’s most popular choices for good reason.

It’s not flashy, but it doesn’t need to be. The power of peanut butter and chocolate speaks for itself. If you want a sure thing, this Blizzard rarely disappoints and always satisfies that peanut butter craving fast.

2. Royal Reese’s Brownie Blizzard Treat

Take everything you love about the original Reese’s Blizzard and crank it up a notch. This version adds brownie pieces and a ribbon of peanut butter core running through the center.

It’s richer, gooier, and more indulgent—ideal for those who like their dessert layered and extra. The peanut butter middle ensures every few bites explode with creamy, salty intensity.

Some might find it a bit much for everyday snacking, but as a special treat, it’s nearly unbeatable. Texture, flavor, and richness all align in one Blizzard that really earns the “royal” title it proudly wears.

1. Dipped Strawberry Cheesecake Blizzard Treat

This flavor is a balancing act of creamy, fruity, and chocolatey done right. Real cheesecake chunks are mixed with strawberry topping and choco-dipped pieces, creating a trifecta of flavor.

The tartness of the berry cuts through the sweet cream, while the chocolate adds crunch and contrast. Every spoonful feels like a dessert course with layers of taste and texture.

It’s fresh, indulgent, and surprisingly well-rounded. Unlike some limited-time flavors, this one doesn’t rely on gimmicks. It earns its top spot by being as delicious as it is dynamic—an instant classic that feels new every time you taste it.
