While the countdown to summer drags on, Halo Top have brought out the perfect creation to keep us looking forward - ice-cream on sticks. Step aside Magnum, there's a new choice in town.
If you're desperately dreaming of BBQs in the park and ice-creams in the garden, Halo Top have got just the thing. Introducing, Halo Top sticks, which have hit the shelves in four flavours; the new Strawberry Cheesecake, Peanut Butter Swirl, Birthday Cake, and Sea Salt Caramel.
The brand’s new sticks contain just 80-100 calories and 7-10 grams of sugar each, and will be sold in Tesco stores in multi-packs of three.
The strawberry cheesecake flavour is described "for those who want to have their (cheese) cake and eat it too, this strawberry cheesecake-flavoured ice cream gets even better with a biscuit swirl."
As for sea salt caramel? "Britain’s best-loved flavour balances sweet and salty with luscious caramel swirls and a touch of sea salt". Meanwhile, peanut butter swirl is an "irresistible treat for peanut butter fiends blends peanut butter ice cream with a swirl of silky peanut butter for extra decadence."
And birthday cake offers a "birthday feeling in a bite, with this celebratory treat full of colourful sprinkles and the taste of homemade birthday cake."
Everyone's clicking on...
Speaking of the new creations, Doug Bouton, President & COO at Halo Top Creamery, said:
"We love ice cream in all forms and these sticks seemed like the next logical place to take our brand. At just 80-100 calories and only 7-10 grams of sugar each, they’re the perfect feel good treat and contain less calories and sugar than what’s currently out there. We can’t wait to hear what our UK fans think!"
We're interested.
Halo Top sticks will be available from mid-March in select Tesco stores nationwide.
