We pulled over at a rest stop gas station, I considered my options and decided to give in to my craving. After all, I had been cooped up in a hot van for the past 6 hours, rolling through endless miles of farmland and nothingness. I felt I deserved a bit of a treat, something to lift my spirits before continuing with the rest of the 12 hour journey.
Now that I'm quite sure I've successfully drawn most of you in...I should probably inform you of one thing. I am referring to ice cream. Magnum Gold?! ice cream bars to be exact :-)
As I combed the freezer section looking for the perfect frozen treat. I saw the Magnum bars and grabbed one. It wasn't until I opened the package that I realized this was something different. It's described as "Silky vanilla bean ice cream swirled with sea salt caramel and covered in a golden coating made with Belgian Milk Chocolate". I was surprised to see that the golden coating is actually golden. A semi-sparkly metallic-ish gold. Like it had been painted with luster dust (for all you cake decorating folks).

| The gold doesn't translate very well in the photo. Much more of a golden shimmer in person. |
As for the taste, well...it is a Magnum bar. Needless to say, it was devoured down to the stick in about 5 minutes flat.
My thoughts altogether: This is officially the diva of all ice cream bars & I will probably break down during a future grocery shopping trip and buy a box.
Have you tried these yet? If not, pick up one the next time you're out and let me know what you think!
And just because I came across it, here is the commercial for these things. It's beyond completely random & kinda Mission Impossible-y. But, it's starring Joe Manganiello (Alcide Herveaux from True Blood). Yeah...Him. I don't think I need to say much more ;-)
Enjoy!
