Advantages: delicious,

Disadvantages: expensive

I've been in a bit of an ice cream mood recently and one of the flavours I've been sampling all different versions of is the good old, traditional chocolate! Not only have I been trying regular chocolate ice creams but I've also been trying various different cones and lollies. One version I have tried is Magnum Temptation!

These ice cream products can be found in all supermarkets such as Tesco and Asda however it can also be found in petrol stations as well as some newsagents. It can always be found in the freezer section alongside the other Haagen Dazs ice creams. Often this is in amongst other branded ice creams such as Walls and Haagen Dazs. There are two types of Temptations, the plain chocolate version and the caramel version. I first tried the caramel ones.

The magnum's come in a box which contains 3 ice creams. The box costs £3.45 normally or there about. However often there are offers on where you can get it a bit cheaper or get an offer where you can buy one and get one free. Sadly at the moment there are no offers on though. This price is pretty high and I almost grudged paying it. This worked out as £1.15p per ice cream. This is just as much as you would pay for a Magnum singly in a shop, if not a little bit more. Very expensive!!

The box is very attractive and stands out in the freezers. It is made out of a cardboard similar to all other boxes. The main colour scheme is a luxurious, very "fudgy" looking brown. It is swirled with different shades of brown and looks velvety and gorgeous. On the front is the classic magnum logo as well as the product name which in this case is caramel and almonds. There also is a gorgeous looking picture of the treats inside which just tempt you even more!

When you open the lid you can see the products individually. They each come wrapped in a brown packet much similar to the pattern of the main outer cardboard box. It is easy to open and simply requires ripping the end. Once out of the packaging they look even more delicious. It is a dark brown in colour but not as dark as dark chocolate.

The magnum was really quite delicious. The chocolate coating was very thick and had a nice frozen crunch to it. It tasted very creamy and was a delicious milk chocolate. It coated the back of my throat and made it very thick. The vanilla ice cream was creamy and tasted really quite similar to a caramel ice cream. The caramel sauce was thick and evenly distributed and tasted very similar to the stuff you get to pour over sauce. It was deliciously sweet. The almonds didn't add much to the taste, only a slight aftertaste. For me this was great though.

I would thoroughly recommend however the price Is extortionate.
