Choc ice
Definition
A choc ice is a bar of ice cream coated in a thin layer of chocolate, sold wrapped and usually without a stick. A long-standing British classic.
A choc ice is a rectangular block of vanilla ice cream with a thin chocolate coating, wrapped in foil or paper. Unlike a lolly it usually has no stick, so you peel back the wrapper and eat it from one end. It has been a staple of British cinemas, kiosks and vans for generations.
The difference between a choc ice and a chocolate-coated lolly is mostly the stick and the shape. Both are pre-wrapped, quick to serve and easy to keep frozen. Choc ices are not listed on our standard menu. If you want a wrapped chocolate option, the Magnum is on our lolly range, and you can ask us about other wrapped products for your event.
