Dairy Queen is helping consumers keep cool during the tail end of summer with the launch of its new Reese’s Pieces Cookie Dough Blizzard.
As you might have guessed from the name, the new Reese’s Pieces Cookie Dough Blizzard combines the best of the brand's signature Reese’s Pieces Blizzard and Cookie Dough Blizzard into one hybrid dessert. The rich and indulgent new flavor starts with creamy soft-serve ice cream blended with Reese’s Pieces candies, a nutty peanut butter topping, and chewy chocolate chip cookie dough pieces.
The new Reese’s Pieces Cookie Dough Blizzard follows the other seasonal Blizzard flavors released earlier this year, including the Picnic Peach Cobbler Blizzard, Peanut Butter Cookie Dough Party Blizzard, Frosted Animal Cookie Blizzard, and more.
