The Royal Reese's Blizzard: The Ultimate Peanut Butter Sensory Overdrive

For dedicated peanut butter purists, standard ice cream mix-ins often dilute the salty, roasted nut character with too much sugar and cold cream. The Royal Reese's® Peanut Butter Cup Blizzard® Treat solves that problem by turning the core into a pure peanut butter volcano. Beginning with Dairy Queen's vanilla soft serve whipped thoroughly with chopped Hershey's Reese's peanut butter cups, the crew fills a central vertical well with warm, liquified peanut butter sauce. Each spoonful transitions from cold chocolate-peanut candy crumbles to an intense, warm burst of rich, nutty peanut butter.
