The chocolate tastes more like an old gimmick chocolate sauce product we used to squeeze out if a bottle that would then form a solid chocolate coating when it hit the ice cream but the quality of the sauce was well not the best.The magnums are not massive but for us they were super sickly. Even the dog turned her nose up when offered a taste as it dripped off the stick.The ones from the Coop are way better. The ice cream is better in my opinion, and even though the chocolate coating is thinner the quality and taste of the chocolate is more luxurious and way less sickly.This is definitely one example of the cheaper unbranded alternative being actually the superior product.
