Food trip: Magnum Chocolate Ice Cream

So I've been seeing this poster at 7-Eleven and I am just intrigued with this new Magnum Ice Cream Bar. So on the hottest day ever recorded in the Philippines for 2012, I didn't let the day pass without satisfying my curiosity on this new dessert treat.

Apparently, Magnum has already been popular in other countries but I haven't heard of it 'til I saw the seemingly impossible-to-miss posters at 7-Eleven's entrance door. When I approached the chiller, I was surprised to see not just one, but three variants of Magnum: the Classic ice cream bar, Almond, and Chocolate Truffle.

The New Selecta Cornetto

I just want to share my experience on the latest edition of the Selecta Cornetto ice cream cone. They now have a White Chocolate variant. I was at a nearby convenience store while searching for the Cornetto flavor I wanted at that time when I stumbled upon this. Wee! Was I excited to try it out! :)

As a lover of white chocolate, this Cornetto version didn't fail my expectations. While its toppings are made of white chocolate sprinkles and melted white chocolate, the ice cream didn't come off as too sweet. If it's vanilla ice cream, then it should be the reason why it isn't too sweet. But if it is white chocolate, they did an uber great job by not exaggerating the taste. I was enjoying the ice cream so much, I just found myself at the end of the cone. And as the traditional Cornetto has a chocolate tip, this has white chocolate tip. :)

I enjoyed eating my Selecta Cornetto white chocolate ice cream cone. Hope you do too. :)
