11 Popular Sonic Blast Flavors, Ranked Worst To Best

If you've ever been to a Sonic Drive-In, then you know that a large portion of their menu is made up of snacks, fun drinks, and milkshakes. Yes, you can definitely get a full meal at Sonic, but one of their most popular menu offerings isn't a meal at all, it's a dessert. The Sonic Blast is an ice cream treat, featuring Sonic's vanilla soft-serve ice cream, with some kind of dessert or candy mixed into it. If you're thinking that sounds an awful lot like the Dairy Queen Blizzard, then you'd be correct. The Sonic Blast is just Sonic's version of the Blizzard, but with some of their own unique twists on it as well.

There are quite a few Sonic Blast flavors the fast-food chain offers, so it can definitely be overwhelming. But seeing the most popular Sonic Blast flavors ranked worst to best, can help you decide which frozen treat is worth buying. Because after all, why waste time and money on something that isn't all that great? And unfortunately, some of the Sonic Blasts just aren't that great.

While Sonic Drive-In definitely offers different flavors of Sonic Blasts, they will sometimes come out with new options. The Triple Chocolate Sonic Blast was introduced in 2020 and is definitely a chocolate-lovers dream. At least, it sounds like it would be. The blast seems identical to the Master Blast of 2014 and features vanilla ice cream mixed with chocolate syrup, chocolate chips, and soft brownie pieces, according to Brand Eating. Yes, it's still made with vanilla ice cream despite being called the Triple Chocolate Sonic Blast, and as any chocolate lover knows, simply mixing vanilla ice cream with chocolate syrup just isn't the same.

Additionally, there was really only one resounding flavor throughout the Sonic Blast, as one review pointed out, and it was the chocolate chips. Again, chocolate chips aren't exactly the best or most delicious chocolate-flavored thing out there, and the fact that they kind of overwhelm the rest of the treat is kind of disappointing. Even if you adore chocolate, you're better off skipping this one.

Another flavor that Sonic has introduced in their lineup of Sonic Blasts is the turtle pecan Sonic Blast. The Turtle Pecan Sonic Blast is pretty good, although there are some areas where the frozen treat could certainly improve.

First of all, the Blast is made up of vanilla ice cream salted caramel syrup, chocolate chip pieces, and pecans. And while all that might sound good in theory, Sonic fails to incorporate all those flavors together in a delicious way. According to one review of the Blast, the caramel flavor is way too subtle, and there aren't a lot of pecans in the Blast, either, so it's almost just a vanilla chocolate-chip Blast with a few pecans and a slight caramel flavor. If the caramel syrup were incorporated better, and there were more pecan pieces, then it might be a lot better. Unfortunately, that isn't the case and so this Sonic Blast is definitely one of their worst offerings.

It might seem like simply adding crushed-up candy to soft-serve ice cream is a pretty boring and simple idea, but there are certain candy brands that really just work when blended into ice cream, and Butterfingers are one of them. The Butterfinger Sonic Blast is exactly what you think it is, just Butterfingers crushed up and blended into vanilla soft serve, but it's also seriously tasty.

As one review of the Blast put it, it was surprisingly decent. "The vanilla ice cream was fairly mellow and not too artificial tasting while the Butterfinger pieces weren't stale, remaining nice and crunchy." Basically, the Butterfinger Blast is super tasty, and the texture is also seriously impressive. The flavor from the Butterfingers also nicely disperses throughout the soft serve, meaning that the entire Blast will have a good amount of peanut butter flavor, even just from the candy. So, if you're a true peanut butter lover, then the Butterfinger Blast is probably going to satisfy you a lot more than the Reese's version.

The absolute best candy-based Sonic Blast is without a doubt the Snickers Blast. The Snickers Blast is obviously just Sonic's vanilla soft serve blended with Snickers bars, but it's actually one of their better offerings of the sweet treat.

One review of the Snickers Sonic Blast described the dessert as being pretty darn good and showed off the sizeable chunks of Snickers bars throughout the soft serve. Perhaps the reason why the Snickers Sonic Blast is the best candy-based Blast from the fast-food joint is that Snickers bars in general are very complex and have a ton of variety. Snickers have peanuts, caramel, nougat, and a milk chocolate coating, so when they get crushed up and blended into vanilla soft-serve, there's going to be a ton of different flavors and textures throughout the dessert to keep things interesting. This is definitely one of Sonic's better Blasts, so give it a go, especially if you're a Snickers fan!

Sonic Drive-In has come up with some pretty clever and unique flavors for their Sonic Blasts, but one of the best is actually one of the most classic flavors.

The Sonic Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Blast is definitely one of Sonic's best options in terms of desserts. Obviously, the Blast is simply just Sonic soft-serve vanilla ice cream blended with chunks of chocolate chip cookie dough. It sounds pretty low-key, but it's honestly better than any chocolate chip cookie dough ice cream you can get at the store. Because Sonic's soft-serve vanilla ice cream is so creamy, rich, and delicious, it pairs perfectly with the little bites of chocolate chip cookie dough, and brings out the flavors of the cookie dough, too. Additionally, the texture of the cookie dough works so well in the ice cream because it's already so soft and the tiny little chocolate chips provide just the right amount of subtle crunch.
