Gianni's Minis Ice Cream Sticks

What is it?

Miniature versions of the full-size chocsticks, mixing three coatings in one box: four milk chocolate, two almond and two white chocolate. Shrinking a coated stick changes the proportions rather than the recipe. The coating doesn't scale down as far as the centre does, so a mini carries proportionally more chocolate against less ice cream than the full-size bar, which makes the shell the dominant flavour rather than a finish. That's the point of the format. A mini is a portion rather than a smaller version of something, and mixing three coatings makes it a selection rather than a multipack. Eight to a pack, and the almond ones are the only sticks in the box carrying anything beyond chocolate and ice cream.
