Frozen Friday: Magnum - Mini Gold?! Ice Cream Bars

Magnum Mini Gold (stylized as "Gold?!") ice cream bars are a bit of a gimmick with a golden candy coat that shimmers a little when the right light catches it.

Beyond the gimmick and exclamation marks is a vanilla bean ice cream bar with a sea salt caramel swirl dipped in Belgium milk chocolate and then dipped in a golden chocolaty coating.

Review: Burger King - Sausage, Egg, and Cheese Croissan'wich

Burger King Croisan'wich
Burger King's Croissan'wich is one of the few croissant breakfast sandwich options available in fast food land and the first that I ever tried as a kid. The Sausage, Egg, and Cheese version comes, unsurprisingly, with a sausage patty, fluffy folded eggs, and a slice of melted American cheese.
