What Is the Dairy Queen REESE’S Peanut Butter Cup Blizzard Treat?
The REESE’S Peanut Butter Cup Blizzard Treat is a thick frozen dessert made by blending chopped REESE’S Peanut Butter Cups into Dairy Queen’s vanilla soft serve.
The combination works because the peanut butter and milk chocolate in the REESE’S cups cut through the sweetness of the soft serve. You get a rich, nutty, chocolate flavor in every spoonful. Dairy Queen has been serving Blizzard Treats since 1985, and the REESE’S flavor has stayed one of the most requested on the menu year after year.
For families with kids, this is a crowd-pleasing pick because peanut butter and chocolate is one of the most universally loved flavor combinations. For peanut butter fans, it delivers that deep, salty-sweet contrast that plain chocolate desserts cannot match. For casual treat-seekers, it is one of the most satisfying Blizzard flavors available at any Dairy Queen location.

Full Nutrition Facts by Size
The REESE’S Blizzard contains peanuts, milk chocolate, and soft serve, so every size carries meaningful amounts of fat, sugar, and protein.
The Large size contains 1,000 calories, 42g of total fat, 21g of saturated fat, 1g of trans fat, 136g of carbohydrates, 118g of total sugars, 3g of dietary fiber, and 25g of protein. It has 510mg of sodium and 80mg of cholesterol. Based on a standard 2,000-calorie daily diet, the Large alone covers half a day’s calories.
The Medium sits at 750 calories, making it the most popular choice for a solo full-dessert order. The Small at 570 calories is a solid middle ground for most adults. The Mini at 370 calories is the most portion-controlled option on the menu.

The REESE’S Blizzard has more protein than most Blizzard flavors because of the peanuts in the REESE’S cups. The Large delivers 25g of protein, which is notable for a dessert. That does not make it a healthy food, but it does explain why it feels more filling than a standard ice cream treat.
What Is Inside the REESE’S Peanut Butter Cup Blizzard?
The REESE’S Blizzard contains two main components: vanilla reduced fat ice cream and real REESE’S Peanut Butter Cups.
The soft serve base is made from milkfat and nonfat milk, sugar, corn syrup, whey, mono and diglycerides, artificial flavor, guar gum, polysorbate 80, carrageenan, and Vitamin A Palmitate. The REESE’S Peanut Butter Cups blended in contain milk chocolate, peanuts, sugar, dextrose, salt, TBHQ, and citric acid. The milk chocolate coating specifically includes cocoa butter, chocolate, skim milk, milk fat, lactose, soy lecithin, and PGPR.
TBHQ is a preservative used to maintain freshness in the REESE’S cups. PGPR stands for polyglycerol polyricinoleate, an emulsifier used in the milk chocolate coating to control texture and flow. Both are approved food additives, but knowing they are present is useful for anyone monitoring food additives in their diet.
Confirmed Allergens:
Milk — present in the soft serve base and REESE’S chocolate coating
Peanut — present in the REESE’S Peanut Butter Cup filling
Soy — present via soy lecithin in the chocolate coating
May Also Contain:
Egg
Tree Nuts
Wheat
The “may also contain” allergens are due to shared equipment or facility cross-contact at production level. Anyone with severe allergies to egg, tree nuts, or wheat should treat this product as a high-risk item and consult Dairy Queen staff before ordering.
Which REESE’S Blizzard Size Should You Order?
The right size depends on who is eating, their appetite, and their calorie awareness.
For young kids, the Mini at 370 calories is the safest pick. It is the smallest portion and keeps the sugar and fat load manageable for a child. It still delivers the full peanut butter and chocolate Blizzard experience in a kid-friendly amount.
For families sharing one dessert, the Large at 1,000 calories makes sense split between two people. Each person gets roughly 500 calories worth of treat, which is comparable to ordering two Smalls separately. It can also be a more cost-effective option, though prices vary by location.
For peanut butter fans wanting the full flavor experience solo, the Medium at 750 calories is the sweet spot. It gives you enough REESE’S pieces throughout without the calorie commitment of the Large.
For casual treat-seekers grabbing something quick and satisfying, the Small at 570 calories is the most balanced single-serve option on the menu.
| Who Is Ordering | Best Size | Calories |
|---|---|---|
| Young child (under 10) | Mini | 370 |
| Solo casual treat-seeker | Small | 570 |
| Peanut butter fan / full dessert | Medium | 750 |
| Sharing between two people | Large | 1,000 |

REESE’S Blizzard Facts Most People Don’t Know Before Ordering
Most articles about the REESE’S Blizzard stop at calories. They skip the details that matter most to real customers.
First, the “may also contain” allergens. Every competitor article lists Milk, Peanut, and Soy as the allergens. None of them mention that this product may also contain Egg, Tree Nuts, and Wheat due to shared equipment. For anyone with severe allergies beyond peanuts, this is a safety-critical detail that is missing from nearly every article online.
Second, TBHQ and PGPR in the REESE’S cups. No competitor article explains what these ingredients are or why they are in the product. TBHQ is a synthetic antioxidant that preserves freshness. PGPR is an emulsifier that replaces some cocoa butter in the chocolate to control consistency. Both are standard in commercial chocolate products but worth knowing if you track food additives.
Third, the protein advantage. The peanuts in REESE’S cups give this Blizzard a higher protein count than most other flavors. The Large delivers 25g of protein. No competitor article points this out, even though it is a genuine differentiator for this specific flavor.
Fourth, the Blizzard Cake option. Dairy Queen also offers a REESE’S Peanut Butter Cup Blizzard Cake. It features soft serve, a fudge layer, a crunch center, and REESE’S pieces. It is a separate menu item from the Blizzard Treat and is available at participating locations. If you are planning a birthday or celebration, it is worth asking your local DQ about availability.
Fifth, the calorie gap between official data and third-party sources. Several websites and AI tools report different calorie figures for this Blizzard. The official Dairy Queen numbers used in this article are: Mini 370, Small 570, Medium 750, and Large 1,000 calories. Any source showing significantly different figures is not using official DQ data.
Conclusion
The REESE’S Peanut Butter Cup Blizzard is one of the most iconic treats on the Dairy Queen menu. It comes in four sizes from 370 to 1,000 calories, so there is an option for every appetite. The Mini works for kids, the Small for solo visits, the Medium for full indulgence, and the Large for sharing. Check allergens carefully if peanuts, soy, or milk are a concern.
