About this deal

Let’s be honest for a moment. It’s not a Twix, is it? It’s a Twix ice lolly, which takes some elements of a Twix, but then turns it into an ice cream version of itself. Like a normal Twix’s cousin that’s from somewhere foreign. They’re under the same name, but in no other way are they similar. As a separate entity, they’re not bad. The biscuit is usually quite soggy, but still a nice change from the standard chocolate / ice cream combination we’re used to. The caramel never looks how it does in the advertised image above, but it’s still delicious. The main issue is that if your Twix ice lolly hasn’t already been broken or dented before you get to consume it, one bite ruins everything as it splits down the middle and shatters into a thousand messy pieces. Still tasty though.

For such a reasonable price, I'm impressed by the quantity but the quality really isn't there. I won't be buying them again. Whether you call it a lolly ice, or an ice lolly, you're bound to have your favourite and you certainly can't beat those childhood classics like a Twister, Fab or a Calippo. But most supermarkets have their own versions too and this week we thought we'd see how they compare to the big name brands we've been demolishing for years. I'm usually more of an ice cream girl, but on the rare occasion I have an ice lolly, I usually opt for my favourite - a Fab. However, I love fresh orange juice, so when I spotted the Specially Selected Valencia Orange Ice Lollies at my local Aldi, I couldn't resist buying them, as I imagined they'd taste like frozen orange juice.Fruit lollies: So many options here... apples, peaches, berries, bananas - whatever you fancy, peeled and cored, then blended with some fruit juice or plain yoghurt I don't often buy ice lollies (and despite living in Liverpool for 13 years, yes, that's what I'll continue to call them) as I much prefer ice cream but when I do, I usually opt for a Twister or some sort of decadent chocolate creation. Controversy, good evening and welcome to the game. The hill upon which I am willing to die is that Magnum ice creams are incredibly disappointing. A plain Magnum, white or milk chocolate, is boring. Sure, the chocolate is good quality and there’s a hefty amount of it to work through, but is the ice cream underneath really and truly a good finisher? It’s a sombre end to an experience that could’ve been great. A smattering of chocolate chips, biscuit, nuts or various other items within the ice cream portion of all Magnums would take them to a much higher level, but until such time as the manufacturers wake up and give us a truly lavish treat, they will remain outside the top ten list of ice lollies. Sometimes tough love is the only way. We recently tried supermarket own brand ice creams and were surprisingly impressed with the results, which you can read here - but will the ice lollies fare just as well? Take a look at our verdict below: Discover a feast of flavours, including sweet bubble gum, fizzy cola, sharp lemon and lime, ripe banana and sugary nougat, plus tangy sherbet and fruity milkshake.

Pureed fruit (peach, raspberry, banana) or fresh juice ( watermelon, grapefruit) both work on their own, sweetened or gussied up with added bits. Minimalist Baker does blueberries, satsuma segments and chopped-up peach in orange juice. Mark Grossman simply dips frozen banana halves in melted, buttery chocolate then adds sprinkles to freeze.Here we go. Now we’re into the good stuff. This is the Ballon d’Or territory of ice lollies. Cornettos are like a fancy 99 ice cream. They’re structurally sound, they offer a good balance of flavour and they reward you with a little chocolatey gift when you reach the end of your journey. Obviously the strawberry Cornetto is the best, followed by the mint and then vanilla flavour. You can even get a few fancy varieties on holidays, but the strawberry Cornetto is never going to let you down. It’s a reliable win every time. The chocolate at the bottom is inspiring. Go out there and be the chocolate at the bottom of a Cornetto that you want to see in the world. Namaste. If you prefer tubs to share under the stars on a summer’s evening, our huge range of ice creams are waiting to be discovered and added to your basket today.
