I tried supermarket versions of Magnums… 38p per treat winner was packed with first-class flavour & chunky chocolate

LICKALIKES I tried supermarket versions of Magnums… 38p per treat winner was packed with first-class flavour & chunky chocolate Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) MAGNUM lollies have long been a favourite summer treat but they're even more popular since Brat pop star Charli XCX was spotted with one at Cannes this month. However, stocking up on them can be expensive as they cost around £3.50 for a pack of three. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 9 Charli XCX was spotted with a Magnum ice cream at the recent Cannes film festival Credit: Splash Last week Aldi launched new ­flavours of its own dupes for around £2.49 a pack. But how do they compare on taste? Laura Stott put stores' own versions to the test and rated them out of five. Classic Magnum, 3 x 100ml, £3.50, Tesco 9 I found the original Magnums to be surprisingly lacking in flavour Credit: Damien McFadden ORIGINAL Magnums – which are made by big-name brand Wall's – are famous for their thick and ­delicious choccie ­coating and they don't disappoint on this front. When you unwrap and tuck in, the shell shatters and snaps in the most satisfying way but the shards of choc I found ­surprisingly lacking in flavour, with none of the creaminess you'd expect considering the generous amount you get. The vanilla ice cream was tasty, nice and thick and it didn't melt too quickly so I had both ice cream and coating on my stick all the way to the bottom of this eat. There is nothing wrong with what you'll find in this box and they are a best-seller for a reason, but that comes at a price. 3/5 Amour Choc Mint, 3 x 110ml, Morrisons, £2.25 9 Morrisons minty ice creams are fresh but have some room for improvement Credit: Damien McFadden LIKE the classic after-dinner nibble but in ice cream form, if you love fresh flavours these will be a good buy. Inside you find three minty ice creams with a thick ­texture, so it doesn't drip if you want to savour it and eat slowly. 'survey reveals what your ice cream eating habits could say about your personality' Nice chocolate around the outside but despite having decent ingredients this perfectly pleasant lolly just lacked a little something to make it really spark. The ice cream perhaps needs a bit more mint coming through and the chocolate on the outside was noticeably ­thinner than on some of the others. The price is excellent, however, and you get a big lolly. If you like mint they are certainly worth a go. 3/5 Gianni's Pink Lemonade, 3 x 90ml, Aldi, £2.49 9 The combination of lemon ice cream and raspberry sorbet will go down a treat Credit: Damien McFadden ALDI'S new Gianni's Luxury Pink Lemonade Chocsticks cost £2.49 for three ­lollies, which shouldn't cause as much of a meltdown at the till as buying a packet of ­genuine Magnums. These certainly look rather flashy, with a fun appearance which is bound to go down well with the kids if you stick a pack in the freezer when doing the family shop. The combo inside of lemon ice cream and raspberry sorbet with an exterior coated in thick white chocolate and ­pieces of popping candy is good fun and has some serious 'by the beach and on holiday' vibes. This was a very sugary-tasting lolly and the citrus flavour of the ice cream middle gets a bit lost with all the competing tastes. But as a warm weather treat it's a bit different and very jolly. Rather like an ice cream sundae on a stick. 4/5 Almond Sticks, 3 x 75g, M&S/Ocado, £2.40 9 I thought the Marks & Spencers ice cream was very bland and thin Credit: Damien McFadden VERY good value from M&S but these own-brand ice cream options were a little disappointing when it came to flavour, despite looking and smelling ­delicious. More of a short and chunky choc ice on a stick but they did seem rather fun-sized compared to some of the other own-brand whoppers and it was hard not to feel a little short-changed when they came out of the box. The taste is inoffensive but I thought the ice cream was very bland and thin, with none of the creamy vanilla richness I was hoping for. A bit of a choc ice of two halves ­however, as the choccie coating was ­delicious, with a great flavour and rammed with nutty nibs. A better ice cream filling would be a real game-changer here. 3/5 Chocolate and Caramel, 3 x 110ml, £1.19, Tesco 9 This pack from Tesco was great value for money and a delicious taste Credit: Damien McFadden A WARM weather bargain from Tesco. This box of three lollies was a winner at the till, coming in at an incredible 38p per ice which is a summer steal, and almost a third of the price of buying the big brand. Flavour-wise I thought they were first class and in the box you get three massive licks which should satisfy the whole family. Each has tasty caramel flavour ice cream in the middle, which is coated with a chunky layer of milk choc, enhanced with Crunchie-style honeycomb pieces. The choccie outer was the best part of this bite, thick enough to ensure you get that lovely snap if you like to nibble off shards to eat first, like I do. There wasn't a huge amount of the honeycomb pieces which some might find disappointing but, for me, any more would have been too sickly, so I was very happy. Great value for money, and a tasty treat. Winner - 5/5 Double Dip Choc Raspberry, 3 x 88ml, £3.25, Sainsbury's 9 The Double Dip Choc Raspberry from Sainsbury's are a real grown-up treat and delicious Credit: Damien McFadden THESE are very fancy choc and fruit-flavoured ice creams which will bring a touch of luxury to your freezer and work just as well as a dessert or garden eat. Inside you get yummy raspberry ice cream which has a thick, creamy flavour and tastes just as delicious and decadent as any posh tub you might buy. There's a double-thickness milk chocolate layer on the outside which delivers the satisfying shatter you want, and to cut through all that richness there's a sparky and zingy raspberry sauce sandwiched in the middle. These are a real grown-up treat and ­delicious, but the cost is rather high. And considering the price tag, the lollies themselves are a bit too dinky. 3/5 Chocolate Almond Coated, 3 x 110ml, Asda, £2.10 9 Asda's chocolate treat was high quality and felt like good value for money Credit: Damien McFadden A WELL-PRICED own-brand choc treat that works well as a keep-everyone-happy summertime snack. More classic in taste than some others, so what you find on your stick is a scrummy vanilla ice cream dipped in a coating of milk choc with tasty roasted almond nibs. For the price I thought these were super quality and you also get a lot for your money as they are very substantial. The vanilla whippy-style middle tasted enjoyable, with an ice cream van- style soft texture, and roasting the nutty nibs gave enjoyable additional taste as well as texture. The choc was a little thin and the lolly did start to ­separate and melt too fast, but that didn't stop me scoffing the lot and then licking my ­fingers! 4/5 Gelatelli Double Caramel, 4 x 85ml, Lidl, £4.49 9 Lidl's ice cream was messy to eat and it felt like there was too much going on Credit: Damien McFadden I WAS surprised at the steep price of these own-brand licks from Lidl, which were the second-costliest I tried after the Wall's original Magnums. That said, they are pretty fancy lollies with a lot of ­flavours packed on to the wooden stick. Inside the chunky milk choc outer you'll find it crammed with nutty nibs, then a thick layer of caramel sauce, ice cream with biscuit, more nut flavours and then more white chocolate, plus biccie pieces. There's an awful lot going on here, which is generous – and if you love a ­toffee-style ice cream cone you'll ­probably think these are fab. I found them a bit messy to eat, and the stick was almost too small for all the goodies attached to it. But if you have a sweet tooth you'll be in heaven. They're overpriced though, and paying less for a more streamlined ice will keep everyone just as happy.
