Ice Magic
Ice Magic : Ice Magic was runny chocolate sauce in a mint or orange flavour in a mountain shaped container with a coloured mountain top cap. You used to squirt (loads of) it on ice cream and it'd go hard and they you could either pick it off or crack it up with your spoon. Ice Magic was fab but just encouraged you to muck about instead of eating your food! We used to squeeze a whole load of it into a tablespoon wait for it to go hard and then just eat it like that...a whole little block of Ice Magic... gorgeous!

The original fiendishly difficult puzzle,
now with solution guide
The original fiendishly difficult puzzle, invented by Erno Rubik in Hungary and one of the biggest toy crazes ever. In 1982 Hawkin's Bazaar was the first to bring a few cases of the Rubik's Cube to England. Unfortunately 25 years ago we were very small and it wasn't long before a much larger company had the exclusive rights to distribute in the UK. We are very pleased to be offering it again! And now includes a new seven step solution guide.

Also remembered...
These little nobbly mint flavoured tasted really nice. Though I can only recall buying them from the ice cream van along with those massive Snooker ball chewing gums. They were cheap. Two a penny. Literally!

Ice Magic was the tops!! I liked the standard chocolate flavour and would put it on top of a plain digestive biscuit and leave in the fridge for a while to make chocolate digestives or I would squirt it on vanilla ice cream and mix it really quickly before it hardened and would make chocolate ice cream with chocolate chips! Yummy!!!!!! You can currently get a product similar to Ice Magic called Nestle Monster Crackin' Sauce, in a variey of flavours, but it don't taste the same!!!!

This was absolutely gorgeous!! I first tried it at a friend's birthday party, and from then on, well... no ice cream was complete without a thick crust of Ice Magic. The Chocolate Orange flavour was nicest (in my opinion)!! I also seem to remember that the advert for it involved a skier skiing down a mountainside to escape a tidal wave of Ice Magic - which then hardened (so I presume the skier must have escaped) Ha, ha ha!!

Yum-o-rama! Wow, I didn't realise how much I missed/loved this stuff til I read these memories. I want some! Seems like I am not the only one who'd have more Ice Magic in my bowl than ice cream!

How I harped on for ice magic - the wonderful flavours, the bottle with the gloopy shaped lid, the fun watching it go hard on the ice cream. It seemed revolutionary at the time, though I was never allowed any. Mam said choc ices were cheaper and just as good. I can almost see her logic now that I'm a sensible grown up.

this was in a squeezy bottle, chocolate sauce for sesserts, ice cream, you squirted it out it was runny then it went hard and crisp, like choc ice choclate, could get it in different flavours.

It's still one of my little vices to this day. It's so damn hot here in summer so vanilla ice cream and chocolate ice magic make summer a tad more bearable. I loved the ad a lot when I was little too. The bit about 'or perhaps my sisters braaaaaaain'. :D

I remember when this first cam out. I used to like the mint flavour.

It didn't work! It never set properly! In the ad on TV the spoon would crack through the crisp topping. Never in real life! It was delish, though!
