Dairy Queen - Butterfinger Blizzard

Dairy Queen has many treats. One of my favorites is the Butter finger Blizzard. Patty and I just went back the other night. I just had to have another treat. DQ would not disappoint.

The medium sized blizzard was $3.39 and had plenty of ground up butter finger candy bits mixed in with classic Dairy Queen vanilla ice cream.

The mix of ice cream and butter finger candy is almost heavenly.
Don't like Blizzards, not to worry, there are plenty of other options. Dilly Bars, Buster bars, cones, hot fudge sundae's and of course the banana split.

The Grassy Knoll Institute scores 5 out of 5 shots and recommends Dairy Queen Butterfinger Blizzards for dessert.

Dairy Queen Thin Mint Blizzard

Dairy Queen Thin Mint Blizzard

The Blue Plate Special is not always about lunch and dinner. Occasionally it is about dessert. And the Dairy Queen store in North Lima Ohio fills the bill. Don't get me wrong, Dairy Queen Brazier offers much more than ice creams treats. they have cheeseburgers, chilli dogs, chicken, and french fries. But tonight is all about the treats.

The treat on the left is a limited offer Blizzard by Dairy Queen. Basically it is a combination of Dairy Queens special blend vanilla custard and Girl Scout Cookie Thin Mints. Using a special blizzard machine, the custard and cookies are mixed together to form this cool dessert.

I ordered the medium size, which cost $1.99 and I have to say was a perfect portion. If you like ice cream, you will love this treat. The combination of the thin mint cookies and ice cream mix was delightful.

The Grassy Knoll Diner scores 4 out of 5 shots and recommends North Lima Dairy Queen Girl Scout Mint Cookie Blizzards for dessert.

Dairy Queen Dilly Bar

Dairy Queen Dilly Bar

Probably the most well known item Dairy Queen sells is the Dilly Bar. As a child, the Dilly bar was much bigger, more than twice the size and it only cost 10 cents. (Yes, it was back in the 1960's, but still, only a dime.) Today, the Dilly bar is how you see it above. And it costs 79 cents.

I bought this dilly bar from the North Lima Dairy Queen. It was frozen, which is always a bonus. (Sometimes, the bars are not cold enough and melt all over) The taste is as I remember.

The Grassy Knoll Institute recommends Dilly Bars and gives 3 out of 5 shots.
