Excuse for a Blizzard?
I'm not sure anyone REALLY needs an excuse to have a Dairy Queen Blizzard, but just in case you do, here's a great one: Today only, $2 from the sale of every Blizzard will be donated to the Children's Miracle Network. In our area, that means the money will go to the Carilion Clinic Children's Hospital in Roanoke and Virginia Baptist in Lynchburg.
This is the fourth annual "Miracle Treat Day." The CMN hopes to raise about $20,000 this year. So do your part, as hard as it might be to force down that ice cream blended with chunks of candy.
Mmm, Blizzard. I had the Thin Mint Cookie one when they were promoting it last year and it was awesome.

I was always quite fond of Butterfinger Blizzards myself.

Definitely go for the Thin Mint, that way you're supporting the Girl Scoutss and Miracle Child Network.. totally a win-win, guilt-free treat!

I had a Thin Mint Cookie Blizzard the other day with my boyfriend. I have to say it was totally awesome, but we each got mediums (which I think are a little on the small side) and our total was over $8 with tax for ONLY the 2 medium blizzards. How many gallons of ice cream could I buy for that in the grocery store? They are good, but I think the pricing is ridiculous - especially in this economy. It's even hard to treat yourself every once in a while at those prices.

"Banana split blizzard!!!!"
Are you serious? Such a wondrous delight exists?
I'm so blinded by the Snickers goodness that I never even look at the menu board. I should try one.
