Protein Butterfinger Blizzard

Protein Butterfinger Blizzard – This indulgently named recipe hides a guilt-free treat that is high in protein and low in 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.

I loved being with my dad and talking to him. I miss him so much all the time.

February 26 will mark 23 years since he passed, so I guess I’m thinking a bit more about him right now.

On a happier note, 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 mixed with peanut butter and maple syrup, flaked by chocolate and then frozen for a time.
