Magnum ice cream. Despite their chocolate shells that might break in the wrong direction when you eat them, I find myself loving them more and more. I started with Magnum Gold and tried all the other flavours after that. Double caramel was my all-time favourite even though it could get sickeningly sweet. But I love caramel, and it was just the perfect blend of caramel and chocolate. I'd crave for it everyday, especially after watching the advertisement starring Eva Longoria.
When Magnum came out with 2 new flavours, labeling them Magnum Temptation, I wasn't quite interested at first.
I mean, they seem okay, but not tempting enough. I loved double caramel, I wasn't budging on that stance.
Until one day I caved in and bought a hazelnut temptation. Both are the same size, and the brown one is filled with hazelnut bonbons, while the red one is a fruit-based ice cream with Fruit of the Forest syrup and cranberry pieces. It comes in a sleek sexy box with a shiny gold interior. Magnum Gold in certain countries also came in the same sleek gold box (I never spotted those in Singapore, only in other countries).
The shape is also slightly different than usual, the new version has a sexy curve that makes it look very enticing. And when I bit into it, I think I found a new love.
The hazelnut bonbons go very well with the vanilla ice cream and chocolate shell. It also has caramel syrup to please my caramel cravings, and it is not too sweet unlike the previous versions. Magnum has really come up with a winning formula with this combination of hazelnuts, vanilla and chocolate without either one overpowering the other. I think this has pretty much become my new favourite Magnum ice cream.
One last thing left for Magnum: please make a mini version! I love having the sweet taste and less of the calories!
*Magnum Temptation is sold at most supermarkets and convenience stores. I bought mine at S$4.20.
