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

Summertime ice cream

Advantages: Chocolate and ice cream
Disadvantages: None

...Summer summer summertime and that only means one thing, ice cream! I love it when it's hot outside as i now have a good excuse to eat ice cream, as if you really need an excuse, but anyway. One of my favourite ways to eat ice cream is in bar form and in my opinion one of the best ranges around is the range from Magnum! Magnum is an ice cream brand is owned by the British/Dutch Unilever company. They have quite a lot of different flavours that they produce now, including the ones that they have released the last couple of years such as Mayan Mystica, Ecuador Dark and Colombia aroma but I have to say that my favourite is actually the original version, now known as the Magnum classic. The Magnum Classic first came out in 1989 and was just called Magnum but was later rebranded. It can be likened to a choc ice, ie vanilla ice cream covered...

Yummy Mars Ice Cream

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

...PACKAGING "The things that caught my eye about the packaging where" The peel back lid in the centre which is similar to that of McCain microwave chips and the lid can be resealed.The inviting picture of a Mars bar which looks sort of like it has been cut in half and only half of it is being shown, "revealing all the ingredients inside" including the ice cream and the delicious caramel centre. On the cover it tells you that in the box there are four individually wrapped bars. The part written on top of the picture of the mars ice cream says that its made of "Real Dairy Ice Cream". I also noticed how well designed the box is and that the lid is "very easy" to open. The recognizable mars design that anyone who has ever tried their products will be well acquainted with.The message which says " Real dairy ice cream " and deliciously soft...

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...

Baskin Robbins Ice Cream

Advantages: Tasty, variety of flavours, not sickly, range of milkshakes, provide lighter options, can take home
Disadvantages: Sometimes hard to find, Unhealthy, Price

...~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ About Baskin Robbins ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Baskin Robbins is the world's largest chain of ice cream. Baskin Robbins was founded by Burton Baskin and Irvine Robbins. They have been providing ice cream for 62 years to more than 5,800 shops in 34 countries, proving how popular it really must be.

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

We all scream for ice cream!!

Advantages: Great flavours, great choice, taste testers, and more!!
Disadvantages: Not much choice here in the UK!

...Baskin Robbins sell the most amazing, delicious ice-cream in an array of wonderful flavours. Most Baskin Robbins are joint with Millie's Cookies and probably nearly every town has got at least one! ***HISTORY*** Baskin Robbins was created by two brother in laws (Burton "Burt" Baskin and Irvine "Irv" Robbins) who dreamed of creating an innovative ice cream store. They both had a mutual love of old fashioned ice cream and the desire to provide customers a high variety of flavours. In 1945 a snowbird ice-cream shop was opened in California by Irv, which featured 21 flavours in his store. One Year later Burtons Ice Cream was opened by Burt in Pasadena, CA. By 1948 they both had 6 stores between them, which eventually grew into Baskin Robbins. In 1949, there were more than 40 stores in Southern California, which is when Burt and Irv...

Perfect Pistachio Ice Cream

Advantages: Tastes absolutely wonderful
Disadvantages: Have to have an ice cream maker

...I just love ice cream it's just one of those things that is easily eaten and quite refreshing. Even at this time of year I can eat ice cream! Cold yes but lovely and sweet. I'm a fan of most flavours except vanilla. Fortunately my craving paid off and I bought myself an ice cream maker! Oh the joy! Yes the novelty has eventually worn off but it's still used regularly to make ice cream and it is thoroughly enjoyed by all the family. The recipe is an Italian recipe (what else!) and is absolutely lovely! Gelato simply means frozen in Italian. The art of making the Italian frozen dessert extends beyond the literal meaning of the word. Gelato has become a generic Italian word for ice cream, though true gelato contains no cream. The same word is commonly used in English speaking countries to refer to "ice cream" that is prepared in...

Review of Recipes for Ice Cream and Sorbets

Cookies and Ice Cream

Advantages: Great taste,lots of cookie dough and chocolate throughout
Disadvantages: Fairly Expensive

...I love Ben & Jerry's Ice Cream, it's the ultimate treat,so I used the latest half price offer at Tesco to stock up on my absolute favourite flavour, Cookie Dough. This was at £2 a tub rather than the usual price of £4 a tub. Now, at these prices it is definitely a now-and-then treat for me rather than a must have on my weekly shopping list. I'm not a fan of chocolate ice cream, which tends to restrict what Ben & Jerry ice creams are available to me. Their famous flavours such as Phish Food and Chocolate Fudge Brownie contain Chocolate ice cream. Cookie Dough is vanilla ice cream with chunks of chocolate and, as you would expect, cookie dough. The vanilla ice cream is the best that I have tasted, really smooth and creamy. The chunks of chocolate are also sizeable. The chunks of cookie dough are also quite big and soft. As you...

Review of Ben & Jerry's Cookie Dough Ice Cream

I scream for ice cream!

Advantages: Tasty, fairly cheap, not to high in calories/fat
Disadvantages: Not very healthy

...I am quite a dessert person! Wheather its a simple vanilla yogurt, or if it's a triple chocolate brownie "delight", i'm happy! When I was young, my favourite dessert used to be something like a chocolate mousse- I used to love when I went to stay with my Auntie and Uncle in Edinburgh, they'd buy luxury belgian chocolate mousses for us, and then chop up mars bars and pop mini peices into the mousse to create a taste explosion! When I started high school I developed a taste for things like strawberry cheesecake and apple pies- I still have that taste to this day, but sometimes I like something a little more plain, and a little less heavy! Last Thursday I had a sudden craving for ice cream in the car, on our way back from the doctors surgery. My mum needed to pop into Asda to get some more Branflakes, so when she wandered off to...
