Dairy Queen Peanut Buster Parfait - How Many Calories?

Dairy Queen has a way with gooey hot fudge, peanuts and vanilla ice cream. They're so good at this combo, they figured out a way to serve it up on a stick with their delectable Buster Bar treats.

But the Buster Bar cowers in the shadow of the towering DQ Peanut Buster Parfait.

Ever had one? Soft serve ice cream layered with yummy hot fudge and crunchy whole peanuts. You'd better be hungry or good luck finishing this dessert.

Really, it's a meal in itself. So how many calories are in DQ's Peanut Buster Parfait?

If you guessed 700 calories, you're right. Beyond bursting with calories, that Peanut Buster Parfait is loaded with 30 grams of fat (16 g saturated), 94 g carbs and 16 g protein. Although DQ's thorough nutritional calculator says if you take away the peanuts, you'll save 110 calories. But then this treat just wouldn't be the same, would it?

If you're now craving ice cream, Dairy Queen Miracle Treat Day is today, August 13. Buy a Blizzard at participating DQ locations to benefit a Children's Miracle Network hospital in your area, and then plan for some extra exercise to burn off some of that treat!
