Essential Dark Choc Ices

What is it?

Eight vanilla ice cream bars sit on sticks and come coated in dark chocolate. They’re sold in a pack of eight from Waitrose’s Essential range, and each bar is a straightforward layered format: creamy vanilla ice cream inside, a thin chocolate shell outside. Compared with more elaborate ice cream bars in the Waitrose lineup, these stay plain and compact. They’re the sort of freezer item that’s portioned individually, so you can take out one bar at a time and let it soften slightly before eating.
