Magic Shell: Cupcake Flavor
I’ve never really been interested in Magic Shell toppings for my ice cream because I’ve never been fond of the crunch; I like my ice cream soft, with some chocolate syrup and totally non-crunchy! However, in recent months, I’ve seen Magic Shell at my grocery store now available in cupcake flavor.
I’ve put off buying a bottle for a very long time, but intended on getting some for my daughter’s birthday, as an excuse to try it out. Luckily, it was also on sale that week, so I picked up a bottle.
If you’re not familiar with Magic Shell, it is a liquid ice cream topping that freezes almost instantly when poured on top of ice cream to a slightly crunchy texture. It comes in a variety of flavors, including the usual chocolate, as well as caramel, cherry, and s’mores.
But how is the cupcake flavor, you ask? It is quite sweet! While it might remind one of a cupcake, it tasted more like a sweet white frosting to me.
The cupcake flavor comes with its own built-in assortment of sprinkles, as well.
In summation, I liked it! My 2-year-old son does as well, but my 4-year-old says she definitely prefers her ice cream plain. :)
Interesting…I’m not sure if I would like that although I do like the Magic Shell caramel flavour so it might be okay. I’m a purist and like my ice cream plain like your daughter. I love your site though (a new reader) and I look forward to many more reads…
I am curious about this topping, but like you… I just keep passing it in the grocery store. Now I’ll just take your word for its goodness.
I just picked this up at the store the other day, they finally started selling it around here! I love cupcakes so I just had to try it! It’s actually pretty good, but definitely has a very artificial taste/flavor too it. I still prefer the regular chocolate shell though.
we tried this the other day… i like some of the magic shells like the chocolate peanut butter is my favorite and it can be gone in 2 days if were particularly ravenous, this one still sits in our pantry 2 months later
its way too sweet for me and just tastes like those white candy melts
If you like Chocolate Ice cream, try the Cupcake Magic Shell on it. IT IS ALSO ESPECIALLY DELICIOUS!!! FYI it’s on the label that way!!
