Total Fat
A Small-sized Blizzard blended with Reese’s Peanut Butter Cup pieces has 23 grams of total fat, including 12 grams saturated fat.

SUMMARY OF DIETARY FAT PER SERVING
General nutrition guidelines recommended by the U.S. FDA suggest limiting calories from saturated fat to no more than 10% of total calories.
With that in mind, take note that a Small Blizzard has about 110 calories from saturated fat (18% of the total 570 calories per serving).
Total Sugars
One serving of the Peanut Butter Cup Blizzard has 68 grams of total sugars, which includes both natural sugars and added sugars.
Dietary Guidelines for Americans recommend limiting calories from added sugars to no more than ten percent of total calories.
As you can see from the list of ingredients below, sugar is one of the top ingredients in both the ice cream and the Reese’s Peanut Butter Cup pieces. So, although DQ doesn’t breakout added sugars from the total, it’s clear there is a significant amount of added sugars in the treat.
Here is the nutritional information for a Small Blizzard made with pieces of Reese’s Peanut Butter Cup.

What is PGPR?
PGPR is listed as an ingredient in the Peanut Butter Cup chocolate. Polyglycerol plyricinoleate (PGPR) is processed from glycerol and fatty acids such as castor bean or soybean oil.
The additive is generally used as an emulsifier that prevents water and fat from separating in a food product.
It’s also used during the production of chocolate products. PGPR improves the characteristics of chocolate in a way that improves how the product flows through the manufacturing process.
