After Eight chocolate Ice Cream Cones!

Advantages: Chocolate, mint and ice cream
Disadvantages: The cone is a bit chewy

...This past week I just found an amazing dessert/snack treat that I just had to share with everyone so if you love chocolate and mint and ice cream then read on. According to various articles I have read, "Rich in British heritage, After Eight is known as England's finest mint." After Eight's now produce an ice cream cone with After Eight mint chocolate included. I found a pack of 6 ice cream cones for £2 in Sainsburys which I though was an absolute bargain as generally one ice cream cone from a van or a speciality shop costs £2 or more. Made by Nestlé, the original After Eight chocolates were mint-flavoured thins designed and advertised as an after-dinner mint, hence the product's name. Each cone is 100g. Now this is actually quite small but after eating one you did feel like you'd had a nice dessert without pigging out...

Review of After Eight Ice Cream Dessert

Summertime ice cream

Advantages: Chocolate and ice cream
Disadvantages: None

...in milk chocolate but it is way more than that. Firstly the Magnum classic comes on a stick so you do not end up with chocoalte or ice cream all over your hands as you would do a choc ice. The Magnum is lovely because it consists of lovely thick vanilla ice cream which is rounded at the top and the bottom of the bar. Then, the ice cream is covered in quite a thick layer of chocolate which I really like. With some other ice cream bars you really only get a thin layer of chocolate but this layer is lovely and crunchy and great to bite into. You do get bits flaking off when you bite into it so you do need to be careful but if you are a chocolate lover then this is definitely a bar for you. Each of the bars are individually wrapped and so when you take off the wrapper you can leave it at the end of the stick just in case to catch any drops...

Review of Wall's Magnum Classic Ice Cream

I used to dislike ice cream!

Advantages: SEE REVIEW
Disadvantages: SEE REVIEW.

...Ben & Jerry's Dairy Ice Cream, Chocolate Fudge Brownie You would have rarely seen me eating ice cream. My parents used to take me to ice cream parlours when I was a child, for most children it would be a dream come true... for me it was a bloody nightmare! I never enthusiastic about going, however, all the family seemed to be rather excited to tuck into different flavoured ice cream with fancy decorations and juices! Ice cream is typically eaten when people are distressed; a tub of ice cream seems to ease the pain! However, not for me! Ice cream equalled brain freeze, and agony (I must have had sensitive teeth). Anyway, after so many recommendations from friends to just give it a try, because apparently it was not like any other ice cream, I thought I may as give it a go, nothing to lose just a few pounds and I?m not talking about...

Yummy Mars Ice Cream

Advantages: Taste great, good value for money.
Disadvantages: None

...caramel, wrapped in a coating with milk chocolate - " the true taste of mars" Guided Daily Allowance * Calories - 143 which is 7.2% of the "GDA" * Fat - 8.3g which is 11.9% of the "GDA" MY OPINION I first tried these when my mum bought them in for a change from what she usually gets and i remember assuming that i would not like them because i do not like ordinary mars bars. These however surprised me. I like the packaging they come in, they are all wrapped individually and easy to open and with these you can, "most often" avoid the annoying inevitable thing that seems to happen with a lot of ice cream's and lolly's where they end breaking in half and drop on top of you or on to the floor before you even get to finish them. I love that when you open the packaging you see a lot of chocolate first which is always good and that when you...

Your ice cream and chilli will Ask for this Chocolate Treat

Advantages: Will liven up those pudding plates
Disadvantages: A little bit naughty............................but nice!!

... ASKEY?S ?TREAT? MILK CHOCOLATE FLAVOUR DESSERT SAUCE What could be nicer on a nice warm day than a ice cream cornet, covered in chocolate sauce and nuts, all dripping down your hand and begging to be licked off? With this curvy bottle of dessert sauce you can have this ? and lot?s, lot?s more besides. ASKEYS You may think you do not know of this company, but I can guarantee that you do really. If you have had a cornet or a wafer off an ice cream man, chances are that the wafer or cornet you ate was actually made by Askeys. The firm have been going now for 100 years since the Italian Ice Cream specialists, Laurens Tedeschi, opened their business in Kensal Road, London in 1910. Today the company is owned by the Silver Spoon Company, (the British sugar beet company) and they produce millions of wafers...

Oranges In An Ice Cream Tub?!

Advantages: Tastes Great/ Good Quality
Disadvantages: Fattening!

...I think almost everybody has heard of 'Terry's Chocolate Orange', and the phrase 'It's not Terry's - It's mine!'. I also think that pretty much everybody knows of the Ice Cream making company 'Carte D'or'. Well I come with good news for you if you enjoy the taste of both chocolate orange and ice cream. Carte D'or and Terry's have teamed up to produce this interesting ice cream, which is if you haven't somehow guessed by now - Carte D'or ice cream mixed with Terry's chocolate orange! The tub's exterior is quite attractive as far as ice cream tub designs go. The Terry's Chocolate Orange logo resides in the center, and the Carte D'or logo rests directly above it. The tub mainly mimicks the Chocolate orange's wrapper design colour scheme wise, as it sports blues, oranges and browns. There are images of chocolate oranges brken in to...

Review of Terry's Chocolate Orange Ice Cream

Chewy ice cream!!

Advantages: Yummy sweet ice cream taste, Good value
Disadvantages: Has quite a lot of sugar, Hard to get hold of

...***CHEWITS*** Chewits are yummy chewy sweets available in a range of different flavours and different sized packs. You can buy these in single stick packs which come in flavours such as Blackcurrant, Fruit Salad, Orange and Strawberry. You can also buy these in packs of 5 which are available in mixed fruit and citrus flavours. Also according to their website they also sell sour flavoured Chewits in apple and tutti-fruity flavour. ***ICE CREAM CHEWITS*** I bought this 5 pack of Chewits in WHSmith for a bargain price of 69p which were labelled half price. I haven?t seen the ice cream Chewits around for years and they were my favourite flavour as a child, so I just had to have a pack of these. These come in light cream plastic packaging with the look of an ice cream on the front as the bottom half of the packet is coloured and looks...

Review of Chewits Original Ice Cream

Iceland 30 Party Ice Cream Chocolates

Advantages: Delicious
Disadvantages: Mucks up that diet

...Oh no!! the Atkins diet has gone to pot just because of 30 tiny chocolate ice creams. They are called Party. If you like ice creams, after the first bite I am afraid you are in great danger of getting hooked. Inside the pack these small bite-size ice creams are huddled together in three trays, 15 vanilla flavoured dairy ice creams with stawberry sauce and 15 chocolate flavoured dairy ice creams with caramel sauce covered in milk chocolate. They are absolutely delicious. For Atkins converts each Vanilla one is 3.6g of Carbohydrate and the Chocolate one 3.8g. Not too bad, but I challenge you to eat only one. Calories are 37 and 36 respectively. The price when I bought them was £1.99 per pack, but there was an offer of "any 3 for £5". They would be terrific for dinner parties, but it's nice to sit and scoff a tray...

Review of Iceland Ice Cream Chocolates

I scream for Mars Ice cream

Advantages: Much nicer flavours and textures than the chocolate bar version
Disadvantages: Expensive; too small

...Right now, there was nothing more satifying than tooking into one of my favourite chocolate bars, ice cream style on such a sticky hot day. Mars ice cream is, of course, supposedly the same as a Mars Bars (i.e. Chocolate, caramel and malty nougat) with the nougat ommited and replaced with ice cream instead. However, I think the tastes and textures are different (disregarding the ice cream). Okay, they come packaged in the standard black wrapping as is tradition of the Mars Bar. The fornt is really appealing. 'Mars' is written in that new floaty red writting and then 'ice cream' written underneath is the same front but a pale creamy colour. Then there is a big swirly 'underline' of delicious looked pale ice cream and CG chocolate chunks and golden caramel chunks. The ice cream 'underline' is outlined is a golden orange like...

Review of Mars Ice-Cream

A diabetic ice cream that tastes brilliant!

Advantages: Tastes glorious, not too expensive
Disadvantages: None for me I love this

...I will start by saying that, although I am a diabetic, I rarely buy ?diabetic? products as I know from the research done by Diabetes UK that they are generally not worth the money. It is usually better to eat the ?ordinary? equivalent but in moderation. In fact if you eat some diabetic products such as chocolate the sweeteners used in them can have a quite severe laxative effect as I have discovered to my cost! It is much better to eat a generally low fat, low sugar diet with an occasional treat. I have, however, tried vanilla ice cream that has been specially made for diabetics on a couple of occasions and found it to be white, watery, tasteless stuff so when I saw Franks Diabetic Ice Cream in the freezer at Tesco?s I was in two minds whether to even bother trying it to be honest. Anyway Dave suggested that it might be worth a go...
