If you’ve seen the overtly sexual Magnum (“for pleasure seekers”) commercial on TV or seen the Magnum boxes in your grocer’s freezer and wondered if they were any good and/or worth the extra money, I can tell you quickly… yes and yes. The Belgian chocolate is delicious and the ice cream inside is really good, high quality ice cream. This is not ice cream you buy for your kids. If you’re looking for an adult ice cream indulgence, this is the ice cream for you. They coat the ice cream in a softer Belgian milk chocolate then they coat it in the chocolatey shell. Trust me, it’s delicious. Everything about these bars is heavenly.
The maker says “The super-premium ice cream bars are delicately crafted from only the finest ingredients, combining silky vanilla bean or rich chocolate ice cream with thick, crackling Belgian chocolate” and I wouldn’t dispute a word of it. I only tried Classic, Almond, and Double Chocolate but it’s also available in Double Caramel, White, and Dark.

I’m pleased to announce that we have three new writers coming on board Candy Addict. Ali, Amy, and Jennifer will begin posting this week. Here is some info about each of them.
Hi, Candy Addicts! I’m Ali. I’m mom to four kids and three doggies and wife to one hubby (not in any particular order of love or affection because that varies hour to hour). Candy is my ultimate BFF: she’s there when you need her, she’s a great listener, she doesn’t judge, and she doesn’t offer unsolicited advice.
I’m super-duper excited to join the Candy Addict team. I love to write and I’m addicted to the sweet stuff – both high qualifiers for the job as it involves writing and eating sweet stuff! As an added benefit, I’m looking forward to using my kids as guinea pigs on some yucky candy or even yuckier candy. Yep, easily amused. :)
Hi! My name is Amy, and though I’m a writer and editor, I’m a first time candy reviewer. I have to admit, I didn’t realize they reviewed candy, but if they can review pig’s knuckles from Sweden on the Travel Channel — well, I’d much rather read about candy. I look forward to exploring new and old candy alike and sharing my discoveries with you.
Hi! My name is Jen and I’ve been addicted to candy for 37 years (seriously can’t remember anything before age 2) and am still an active candy addict. In my house there are many, many candy stashes. I have my own which must be protected. There’s one for the kids and an extra stash with the kids stash so my husband can steal from their stash and not my stash!
Anyway, I’m happy to be an official “Candy Addict” and I look forward to sharing all my candy experiences with you!
With three new writers on-staff, you can expect more of the candy reviews and articles that you’ve come to love and expect from Candy Addict!
It’s not often that I get to review a local candy but I got an email recently from a chocolate company that just happens to be local to me – Red Light Chocolates. After a couple of emails, I was in possession of a beautiful box of their artisanal chocolates to try.
Red light Chocolates use the finest, freshest ingredients they can find. All of their flavorings are natural – pure fruit purees, organic mint leaves, and Madagascar vanilla beans to name a few. All of their artisanal chocolates are handmade in small batches. They don’t use preservatives, so they encourage you to enjoy the chocolates within two weeks of receiving them. Sounds delicious, doesn’t it?
Today, February 1, 2011 marks a big day for Candy Addict. We can now reveal to you something we have been working on for a bit – our new candy search engine. We loaded up the contents of 14 different online candy stores (soon to be more) and made their stores all searchable in one place. We currently have 18,512 items in there but that will be growing all the time as we add more stores and candy. The database will be kept up to date so that if you find it in a search, it should be available to buy.
