When you're talking popular ice-cream, you have to put Walls at the top of the list. When I look back on my childhood, Walls ice-cream plays a significant part, reminding me of summer days, holidays and treats. Walls make a huge range of ice-cream products, from cheap and cheerful to reasonably luxurious, and their ice-creams are readily available countrywide.

One of Walls' biggest-loved and biggest-selling products is the Magnum ice-cream lollipop, which comes in various flavours. My personal favourite is the Almond Magnum, and if I had a six-pack of them with me right now I could happily eat the lot without feeling even the slightest bit sick. I LOVE them.

Except I haven't got a six-pack with me right now, or even a singular Almond Magnum, because I can't find them anywhere. I've searched high and low, from corner shops to hypermarkets, and they are nowhere to be seen!

I am therefore writing this op from frustrated but not fading memory?

First, take a standard wooden lollipop stick and insert it into a large shaped portion of vanilla ice-cream. Not any old vanilla ice-cream though. This ice-cream must be rich, creamy and sweet, and jam-packed with flecks of real vanilla which make it taste heavenly.

Second, cover the ice-cream in smooth, thick milk chocolate that contains plenty of sliced almonds.

What you then get is a wonderful cold mixture of smoothness and crunch, with decipherable individual tastes of ice-cream, vanilla, milk chocolate and almonds. As you bite into the chocolate, you must remember to hold your spare hand underneath the Magnum as yummy chunks of frozen chocolate and almond will drop. Then simply tip your head back, throw chunks into gaping mouth and enjoy.

At anything between 90p and £2 per Almond Magnum, it is important to not waste a single bit, and as they are so high in fat and calories that you might as well wear them, you'd better enjoy it too.
r>If only I could find somewhere selling them these days, I'd be enjoying one as I write. If anyone knows where I can get hold of one, please let me know.

Very, very highly recommended and unfortunately quite rare.
