What Makes the Royal Oreo Different from the Standard Oreo Blizzard
The standard Oreo® Cookie Blizzard is DQ's #1 best-seller. The Royal Oreo takes that exact recipe and adds one element: a warm fudge-filled center. When you eat your way to the middle of the cup, you hit a pocket of hot fudge that is still warm — the temperature contrast between the cold soft serve and the warm fudge center is the point of the Royal lineup. It is a genuine upgrade that earns the ~$1 premium. The Royal Oreo is consistently the most-ordered Royal Blizzard on the menu.
Royal Blizzard Lineup — All Options Compared
The Royal Blizzard lineup includes four flavors, each with a different filled center. Here is how they compare:
- Royal Oreo® — Hot fudge filled center. The most popular. From $3.99.
- Royal Reese's® — Peanut butter filled center. Best for PB fans. From $3.99.
- Royal New York Cheesecake — Strawberry filled center. Lighter, fruitier. From $3.99.
- Royal Rocky Road Trip — Fudge filled center with brownie pieces and almonds. From $3.99.
All Royal Blizzards cost approximately $1 more than their standard counterpart per size.
