What Is the Butterfinger® Blizzard® Treat?
What makes the Butterfinger Blizzard so addictive is its signature mouthfeel. The airy, crispy peanut-butter wafer pieces fold effortlessly into the thick soft serve, with some fine crumbs dissolving into the ice cream to flavor every spoonful while larger shards maintain a delightful candy crunch. Unlike denser chocolate-heavy recipes, this treat offers a vibrant peanut-butter note without weighing you down.

Butterfinger vs. Reese's — Which PB Blizzard Should You Order?
- Choose Butterfinger® if you want a lighter, crispy peanut butter crunch with fewer calories (470 cal Small). The wafer-light texture keeps the flavor from being too heavy.
- Choose Reese's® PB Cup if you want full-intensity peanut butter and chocolate. More calorie-dense at 600 cal Small but more satisfying for dedicated PB fans.
Best Time to Order the Butterfinger Blizzard
Because it feels lighter on the palate than fudge-heavy alternatives, the Butterfinger Blizzard is the ideal after-dinner treat following a savory meal. Try ordering a Mini or Small alongside an Original Cheeseburger and hot regular fries to enjoy a balanced, nostalgic DQ feast without going overboard on calories.

Ordering Tips
- First timer? Order a Mini (3.49) — it's 4–5 spoonfuls, perfect for a taste test before committing to a full cup.
- Best size for one person: Small (4.49) at 470 calories hits the sweet spot of satisfaction without going overboard.
- Upgrade option: Ask to blend in a hot fudge swirl for richer chocolate depth, or add extra mix-ins (~$0.50).
- Check the flip: DQ guarantees every Blizzard is thick enough to hold upside down — if your crew doesn't flip it, it's free.
