For some time I've been a fan of Lidl's own version of Cornetto, the chocolate and vanilla is lovely, not quite so keen on the strawberry, but that might just be me?

Anyway, at around £1.50 for 6, when "proper" Cornetto's are £1 each when bought singly,you can't go wrong.

However, they have a new flavour, salted butter caramel! Mr P bought me a box as a treat, and they are absolutely yummy!

I had one after supper last night, and I'm rather ashamed to admit that I had another one halfway through the film!blush

that's exactly why i no longer buy them i just can not resist!!! lol

Salted caramel seems to be the 'in' flavour at the moment and I can't argue with that!!

Aldi do a lovely version of Lindt's dark chocolate with salted caramel.

Sounds good phoenix I'll look out for them on my next trip to Lidl. You should have seen DH's eyes light up when I told him about them grin

I wish I hadn't read this thread.

Salted caramel icecream is delicious .....

Had a slice of salted caramel cheesecake the other day, very nice.

Oh no, I wish you hadn't told me that!!! Now I'll be buying them when I go to Lidl's next shock

Oh...my....goodness!! DH came back from town today with box of the aforementioned salted caramel cones from Lidl. I am still drooling an hour after eating one, great value as well!!

Guess what! I was all despondent on coming home from work today, thinking that due to my gluttony (see previous post) there would be no ice cream treat tonight, only to find that Mr P had gone to Lidl and bought another box!! Plus one of the chocolate ones too, as I had said that I still wasn't sure which I liked best!

grin grin grin

All together now, "Oh happy day........"

Katek Mon 09-May-16 20:59:14

Happy day indeed! Collecting another box tomorrow........or maybe two......

They are gorgeous, aren't they, katek!

Peanut brittle delivers the same delicious combination of 'evil':- salt and sweet.

The one I can't stop eating is Lidls Pistachio lollies. They are so morish, I can eat 3 on a hot afternoon (at 327cals per lolly, yikes that's a days worth). Good job there are only 4 in a box. They have milk and white chocolate over the icecream with pistachios. I hope the sun comes out sun I've got to have a reason to eat the last one. wink

Oh, it's chocolate Heaven you're talking about! I can go with that. Must try these....

Craftycat Tue 10-May-16 13:48:58

Try Morrisons version of Cornetto too. It's the only thing I go in there for- except their Flat Iron steaks.

sue01 Tue 10-May-16 14:50:45

I discovered Hagen Daz salted caramel ice cream last weekend... and have only just recovered the power of speech !! It is beyond delicious !!

GrannyGrypton Tue 10-May-16 15:30:58

Try Lidl's almond Magnum lollies too, they're fab as in reeeally fab :-)

patd Tue 10-May-16 15:57:45

Love lidls version of cornettos and admit they are really moresome lol

pennylope Tue 10-May-16 16:12:39

Lidl chocolate is amazing too and so cheap compared to other brands

chrisw Tue 10-May-16 20:37:58

Aldi's are v. good too.

phoenix Tue 10-May-16 21:08:43

I never ceased to be amazed at the quality and price of some of the products that the "cheap" supermarkets can produce, Lidl's ice creams and chocolate being just one example.

Their Scottish rib eye steak is fantastic, and consistently good, and the "proper" parmesan is way cheaper than most other places.

Long live choice and competition!

I've had to stop going to Lidl because I can't walk past the chocolate and pecan/maple syrup danishes.blush.

I REFUSE to read this thread any more. . . . ?

Perleeeese, stop, I'm diabetic and all your recommendations, plus those TVads for Magnum ice creams are driving me crazy.
