MAGNUM Ice Cream Brings Indulgent Dipping Bar Back to New York

MAGNUM Ice Cream, one of the world's leading ice cream brands and an authority on premium Belgian chocolate indulgence, returns to New York City this summer with an indulgent dipping bar in SoHo.

The MAGNUM dipping bar experience allows guests to create custom MAGNUM bars by selecting silky vanilla bean or rich chocolate ice cream bars to be hand-dipped in their choice of dark, milk or white chocolate, each made with real Belgian chocolate. Ice cream enthusiasts can then choose three toppings from a selection of 18 premium ingredients such as the classic culinary rose petals, dried raspberry, and hazelnut croquant, as well as new additions for 2018 including dark chocolate crispy caviar, mini peanut butter chips and salted caramel coated biscuits.

MAGNUM's first pop-up in the U.S. opened in SoHo in the summer of 2016, followed by the Meatpacking District in the summer of 2017. In 2018, MAGNUM New York is one of 24 pop-up MAGNUM locations opening across the world. New stores will also be opening in Shanghai, Tel Aviv, London and Sydney, among others.

"This year, MAGNUM New York goes above and beyond the dipping bar with new experiences that MAGNUM fans will love," said Bruno Francisco, Marketing Director of Ice Cream at Unilever. "For instance, our new aroma bar invites users to experience our premium ingredients including vanilla, roses, and cocoa, on an elevated level."

Guests can customize their own MAGNUM bars from 11 a.m. to 8 p.m. Monday through Saturday and 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. on Sunday throughout the summer at MAGNUM New York at 132 Spring St. Custom bars are $8, including tax.

The MAGNUM New York experience might require a trip to New York City, but for those who want to experience the pleasure of MAGNUM at home, the complete MAGNUM product line-up is available nationally. New this year, MAGNUM Tubs offers ice cream lovers a first-of-a-kind experience, featuring signature MAGNUM ice cream with thick premium shards of MAGNUM chocolate, encased in a cracking chocolate shell. MAGNUM Tubs are available in Milk Chocolate Vanilla, Dark Chocolate Raspberry, Milk Chocolate Hazelnut and White Chocolate Vanilla.
