Give me some Magnum...

Way better than a Klondike bar... What would you do for Magnum?

... Ice cream. Tsk tsk to all you dirty minded folks! =)

Thanks to Foodbuzz's Tastemaker's Program, I received a coupon for a free box of Magnum Ice Cream Bars. 

Never heard of Magnum before?  Well, if you live in the US, like I do, I'm not surprised that Magnum isn't a brand you've heard of!  Mainly because it was only offered in European countries before this month.  But after finding out that Magnum is now available in my local grocery, I definitely had to rush out and grab a box - and I just had to start with the Double Chocolate variety.

Andy loves any excuse to eat some ice cream!

Magnum Ice Cream bars come in 6 different flavors:

• Classic - silky vanilla bean ice cream dipped in a thick layer of Belgian milk chocolate
• Almond - silky vanilla bean ice cream covered in a thick layer of Belgian milk chocolate w/ crunchy almonds
• Double Chocolate - creamy chocolate ice cream enrobed in a luscious chocolatey coating, rich chocolatey sauce and thick Belgian milk chocolate - SUPER YUM!
• Double Caramel - silky vanilla bean ice cream enrobed in a luscious chocolatey coating, rich caramel sauce and thick Belgian milk chocolate
• White - silky vanilla bean ice cream dipped in a thick layer of Belgian white chocolate
• Dark - silky vanilla bean ice cream dipped in 60% cacao Belgian dark chocolate

My local grocery (Kroger in the Highlands) only offered 2 of the varieties - classic and double chocolate.  So of course, we just had to do the double chocolate.  And it did not disappoint.  It was creamy, chocolatey, and crunchy - the way an ice cream bar should be.

Loaded with chocolatey goodness!

 My only complaint is that only 3 ice cream bars come in a box.  But for a retail price of $2.99 a box (at least at my grocery, that was the price) - that's only a $1 per bar - which is what the ice cream truck that drives around charges for an ice cream bar, right?  So yeah, well worth the 3 bucks... just be prepared to buy more than one box so you have plenty in stock!
