The Magnum Ice Cream Company expanded its lineup with two innovative treats inspired by timeless candy bars from Hershey’s. These new bars capture the essence of Reese’s peanut butter indulgence and Almond Joy’s tropical coconut delight in frozen form. Shoppers at major retailers can now enjoy these limited-edition flavors that combine high-quality ice cream with familiar candy profiles.[1][2]
Peanut Butter Lovers Get the Ultimate Crunch
Peanut butter enthusiasts will find a new obsession in the Reese’s Crunchy Peanut ice cream bar. This creation features smooth peanut butter ice cream layered with authentic Reese’s peanut butter and scattered peanut pieces for added texture. A generous chocolate coating seals in the flavors, delivering a satisfying snap with every bite.[1]
The bar reimagines the classic Reese’s candy experience as a premium frozen dessert. Magnum’s attention to detail ensures the peanut butter remains creamy while the crunchy elements provide contrast. Early sightings in stores have sparked interest among candy and ice cream fans alike.[2]
Coconut and Chocolate Paradise: Almond Joy Takes the Freeze
What if Almond Joy’s signature combination went chilled? The new Almond Joy ice cream bar answers that with coconut ice cream, rich chocolate sauce, and whole almonds enveloped in a chocolate shell. Made from 100% real ice cream, it offers a creamy base that evokes a tropical escape.[3][1]
This bar stands out for its balanced layers: the subtle sweetness of coconut pairs perfectly with the crunch of almonds and the decadence of chocolate. Unlike traditional novelties, it prioritizes real ice cream quality. Availability matches the Reese’s bar, making it easy to stock up on both.[2]
Availability and Packaging Details
Both bars arrive in convenient 6-count packs, ideal for sharing or savoring over time. They have rolled out to select grocery chains across the United States. Key retailers include Albertsons, Ahold Delhaize, Meijer, and Wakefern banners.[1]
Consumers report spotting them in the frozen dessert aisles, often near other Magnum classics. The packaging highlights the candy bar inspirations, drawing immediate attention from shoppers familiar with the originals. Stock may vary by location, so checking local stores proves worthwhile.
Comparing the Dynamic Duo
These bars cater to different cravings while sharing Magnum’s commitment to quality. The Reese’s option appeals to those seeking bold, nutty intensity, whereas Almond Joy provides a lighter, more exotic profile. Both deliver on texture and flavor authenticity.
