Dairy Queen Blizzard Recipe

Posted by Grandma Jeanne on January 7, 2009

Recipes from Grandma

1 Health candy bar
1/4 cup milk
2-1/2 cup vanilla ice cream
1 teaspoon fudge topping

Freeze the Heath bar.

Break the candy into tiny pieces with a knife handle before removing form wrapper.

Combine all of the ingredients in the blender and blend for 30 seconds on medium speed.

Stop the blender to stir the mixture with a spoon; repeat until well mixed.

Pour into a 16-ounce glass.

Your homemade blizzard may not be as thick as its commercial counterpart. If you would like a thicker treat, after pouring the mixture into your cup, simply place it in the freezer for 5 to 10 minutes or until it reaches the desired consistency.

VARIATIONS: Try substituting different candies.
