[New for Dec 2019] The Peppermint Hot Cocoa is back, and that's a good thing, because apparently I forgot to review it in 2019 or 2020. It seems like it's right up my alley, so let's take a spoonful of...
Dairy Queen Peppermint Hot Cocoa Blizzard
peppermint candy cane pieces, choco chunks, cocoa fudge blended in soft serve
Boy that's a pretty blizzard! I can't wait to dive in!
I am a sucker for minty things, especially peppermint things when the cold months hit.
This blizzard is just fun. Plain and simple.
I can't say the cocoa flavored soft serve is amazing or anything, but on the whole, yeah, this is just a fun winter blizzard.
random thought: why has DQ never done a white chocolate blizzard? so say this blizzard, but with white chocolate instead of cocoa fudge to flavor the base. Would that be H-D Peppermint Bark good? One can dream.
Anyway, yeah, I enjoyed this blizzard for sure. I don't know if I'll get it next time we go, but I might. It had enough peppermint flavor, and there were enough bits (today anyway), but I kind of feel like I'd dig a bit more texture to this one (aka something more like the Candy Cane Oreo blizzard)
Warning: as with all DQ blizzard reviews, your mileage may vary.
On Second Scoop: We were back at DQ today and I decided to give this one another chance, but this time in a small size. Man, they made it perfectly. Last time it tasted fine, but today it tasted so very good. It's been four hours and I'm still thinking about it constantly. Now I want another one.
Verdict? fun at a minimum, fantastic as a maximum
Buy Again?probably yes!
Buy Again?
My three kids and I all loved this one. Looks like they really jazzed up your whipped topping too! They forgot my whipped cream, but I noticed and made them add it. But no candy cane pieces on top. I'm with you on texture....maybe brownie or oreo tossed in??? Or how about a chocolate filled truffle? I like the caramel filled ones when they are added to blizzards.
