First we have the tasty and fun looking Magnum Bons Bons. They
come twelve in a tub. The flavors are White Chocolate & Cookies,
Gold Caramel Billionaire, and Salted Caramel & Almond. I would totally devour all three of these flavors.
One thing confuses me though. The news says this is Magnum's first bite sized product, but they already had "ice cream bites" in their European lineup. Granted those were more of a ball shaped treat served in a tray and these are more of a puck shape, but still... Wait. Magnum Bites debuted in Australia and New Zealand in 2022 and they look very similar to these new bon bons. They had a vanilla ice cream filling and came with either a chocolate coating or an almond chocolate coating. Yeah, these new versions are definitely more tempting.

I had totally forgotten about Ben & Jerry's Peaces even though superfan
@sven_and_jerrys
posted about the cookie dough flavor way back in early 2022. Well, those original 'peaces' will be joined by the new salted caramel brownie flavor soon. You get ten in a bag.. so maybe two servings of five?
I'm kind of shocked that peaces haven't made their way to the states yet, but
fingers crossed for 2025.
Lastly, here's a picture of the Yasso Poppables incase you've never seen or noticed them. I took this photo in April 2023 when the poppables made the transition from box to bag (and from 50 calories to 35 calories per poppable).
So, anyone interested in these treats?
Absolutely interested. Very happy to see Magnum doing something again, hoping they'll get her next year. I very much miss their pints, that thick Magnum chocolate is so good.
ReplyDeleteThe B&J ones look interesting enough, as well.
These remind me of the Nestlé Dibs they had when I was a kid. My mom never allowed us kids to eat them as they were hers. To me, I'm not super interested in these type of treats, but if they got a ton of rave reviews I would give them a taste.
ReplyDeleteIt's kind of funny to think that Nestle recently gave up on the bite size dibs and now we have Unilever trying to bring bite size treats back.
Deletefor those not familiar with dibs, here's the Unwrapped segment on how they were made and how popular they were. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z6LNaDrwncA
"It's kind of funny to think that Nestle recently gave up on the bite size dibs"
DeleteGiving up on bite size ice cream sorta IS Nestle's wheelhouse.
I remember Nestle BonBons from back in the 90s. Kinda hard to forget that jiggle... trust me, I've tried!

Oh geez, I totally forgot about those!
DeleteI get a huge kick out of the term "ice cream nuggets".... there was a butterfinger version at one point?? Oh geez. I really miss the old days sometimes.
I recently purchased a box of bon bon size pumpkin spice bites from Target. It was their brand. They were OK. My issue is the amount of food I'm getting for the price. I'm always wanting more. So I'll stick to pints or half gallons. Just give me good mix ins!
