Magnum Bars

While traveling in southern Africa a few years ago, our family discovered Magnum Bars. These are truly deluxe ice cream bars – I’d have to say they give Dove Bars a run for their money. Our favorite was chocolate ice cream with dark chocolate covering. And they didn’t skimp on the coating.

Last night I had a hankering for ice cream – I hadn’t had any since arriving in Turkey. I knew where was a gelato shop but I wasn’t up to heading out to the mall on a bus. I remembered that the little corner store had an ice cream cooler outside the front door so I decided to check out their selection. You can imagine my delight to find Magnum bars – only 3 or 4 but they were there. And get this. Pistachio ice cream covered with chopped pistachios embedded in a thick dark chocolate coating. Now there’s a gourmet ice cream bar!

  1. So funny. They are totally an African thing for me! As if we needed more reasons to visit Turkey :).
