What Kinds of Sweet Treats Does Magnum Offer?

Magnum has three categories with over 40 products in four different kinds of chocolate. They have milk, dark, white, and ruby chocolate in bites, sticks, or tubs. What’s more, depending on where you live in the world, they offer specific flavors to that region.

They had flavors named after Jimi Hendrix, Cherry Guevara and Candy Warhol, among many others.

Bites
