It is an absolute necessity to stock the freezer with ice cream, to get us on scorching summer days, and who can say no to the satisfactory crack of a chocolate -covered number?

Of course, Magnum is the best chocolate -covered ice cream brand in England. However, instead of buying supermarkets, you can save some savings by purchasing their own labeled ice creams – but how do they pile to a Magnum Classic?

The supermarket, which matches Magnum’s rating, was none other than M & S chocolate bars. Both ice cream was ranked as 82% and said that they liked the balance of the flavors of Tizters, chocolate and vanilla and the creamy texture of the ice cream in the chocolate shells.
