Dairy Queen ROLO Minis Blizzard

[New for August 2015] To be honest, I'm not sure if the thought of the August blizzard of the month excites me or not. We had that disastrous Rolo McFlurry four years ago plus I didn't have much luck with my own mini rolo sundae either. I guess I'm not stoked by this idea, but I'm not scared either. I mean, it's a DQ blizzard involving candy, so it can't be that bad.

Dairy Queen ROLO Minis Blizzard

Caramel filled Rolo Minis mixed with caramel topping and creamy vanilla soft serve

I was expecting more caramel coloring, but the bits of caramel everywhere are cool. I take my first bite and it's a fine blizzard. In fact, I finish it without incident. We've got enough Rolo-like caramel flavoring, we've got plenty of intact mini Rolos to chomp on, and I'm sitting here on a beautiful day with a nice breeze keeping me cool. So, I'm not wowwed, but I'm pleasantly full none the less.

I think the secret to keeping this blizzard balanced is are the tiny cups. I was expecting the mini Rolos you can buy at the grocery store, but these are like half the size of those. I don't think regular minis would have worked as well... you may have gotten more broken chocolate chunks all about, but you wouldn't have enjoyed a complete Rolo experience on just about every spoonful.

Alrighty, so, a fine blizzard to try if you like caramel or Rolos. Nothing crazy, just a pleasant way to wrap up Summer (sorry, why did I just say that?).

Side Note: Last Summer, DQ Canada had a peanut butter Rolo blizzard, as in peanut butter filled Rolos, as in why can we not have nice things America? Are we too busy pumpkin spicing everything?

Verdict?  good enough
