This indulgently named Butterfinger Blizzard hides a guilt-free ingredient that is high in protein and low in added sugar!
A poignant memory from childhood includes myself, my dad, and Dairy Queen’s Butterfinger Blizzard.
Slurp! I can almost taste the creamy goodness!
It would be just the two of us, as my brother, who is ten years my senior, was away in the military.
Butterfingers have been my favorite candy bar for as long as I can remember.
I used to love biting off the chocolate layer first and then eating the crisp, peanut butter-y candy, which would often get stuck in my molars.
I’ll admit that calling this recipe a Butterfinger Blizzard is a bit of a stretch, but that’s honestly what it reminds me of!
Full-fat Greek yogurt is mixed with peanut butter and maple syrup, flaked by chocolate and then frozen for a time. It’s heaven!
Instructions
Nothing complicated, just mix everything together and freeze!
Recipe tips
Add a bit of stevia if you’d like it sweeter.
Ways to reduce the sugar even more
- Use a combination of one teaspoon maple syrup and stevia
- Use a higher percentage of chocolate (Pascha makes 85% chocolate chips)
- Use 2% yogurt instead of full-fat

This looks so good! I’m featuring it at the TFT party today. 🙂
Thank you, Pam! 🙂
My goodness, I don’t know how I managed to stumble across this recipe but it is amazing! I’ve never heard of a Butterfinger Blizzard. The picture looked so good so I thought I’d try it with a few tweaks (I’m dairy intolerant). The coconut greek yoghurt added a tangy flavour, no extra sugar needed and used dairy free dark chocolate. My kids are fussy eaters and they ask for this over ice-cream! I can’t stop eating it! Thank you so much for sharing your recipe ❤️
I’m sorry, I think this tastes like peanut butter and maple syrup. I don’t taste any Butterfinger flavor. I’ve made the mock butterfinger candy with melted candy corn that does taste like Butterfinger but I understand this is supposed to be a healthier version of a Butterfinger Blizzard. It doesn’t have any of the crunch of a Butterfinger either. A few crumbled corn flakes would help. This tastes good but not like a Butterfinger IMO.
