yet undeniably decadent.<\/p>\n<p>Foodies are taking a fresh buttery croissant, slicing or hollowing out the flaky pastry inside, sliding an entire stick-bound Magnum ice cream into the middle, pulling out the wooden stick, and eating the whole thing like an ultra-indulgent ice cream sandwich.<\/p>\n<p>It has become a full trend where people are using different types of Magnum ice creams and croissants to try different flavours of the treat. <\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"poster-img\" src=\"https:\/\/content.api.news\/v3\/images\/bin\/d74c91c7f2ffa8ab93c5f6e2f7056068\"
