Please keep my mother in your thoughts and prayers.
She has Stage 4 Breast Cancer and it is growing again.
Medicine stopped working and it has spread far.

She will now be permanently on chemo.

She seems, understandably, sad.

She has diabetes...under control.
Her heart condition is going well.

Magnum!



We tried the three flavors of Magnum Ice Cream Bars that are carried at our Walmart. I do not know how much the single bars are...but the three-packs are $3.28 where we live.
---I have read other reviews and noted that the three-pack can be priced as high as $4.99.
---According to my Google search, Magnum Bars are carried at Target. We will have to see if more flavors are carried.
---There are many varieties of Magnum sold around the world. I think it would have been interesting to dine at the Magnum Cafe.

My tasting experience:
---My fave was the Dark Chocolate. This is what I was looking forward to in the first place. I was surprised at how much I enjoyed this. The chocolate covering was not at all dry like some bars of this type.
---Second favorite for me was the Double Caramel. I knew that I would either really enjoy this or find the caramel/sweetness really overdone. The Double Caramel tasted great and wasn't messy.
---The bar I was leery of was the Double Chocolate. Most of the time, I do not like the way chocolate ice cream tastes when hard frozen. While I enjoyed the ice cream when it was softer (fresh from the car), this bar was surprisingly still pretty good to me when frozen.

Drawbacks:
---Sometimes, either after eating or at the very end, it seems like there is a little too much there and it causes a chocolate aftertaste.
---I wish that our Walmart carried the Almond.

Packaging:
---For some reason, I like the box that they come in.
---Gold wrapper :-)
---Short stick

Thanks to my online friend Tammy for recommending these. We will definitely be having Magnum bars again during the summer heat.

The above is advertising I am experimenting with....NOT necessarily things that are endorsed by me.
