A Sweet Shop Crossover
A new concept image has surfaced online, proposing a product that merges the premium ice cream space with classic newsagent confectionery. The design shows a Magnum 3-pack multipack, but the familiar gold and brown branding has been replaced with the vibrant yellow, pink, and blue of a Swizzels Refreshers chew bar. This is a direct and unambiguous brand crossover, a format Magnum has largely avoided in the UK market.
The flavour itself is described in the original caption as “a Swizzels Refreshers Magnum with fizzy lemon sherbet.” This suggests the product would aim to replicate the defining characteristic of the sweet: the sharp, tangy sherbet centre that fizzes on the tongue. The idea moves Magnum away from smooth, creamy textures and into the territory of active sensory experiences, something more commonly associated with children’s ice lollies than a premium stick ice cream. The visual language of the packaging is pure nostalgia, directly targeting anyone who grew up with the iconic chew bars.
Where It Sits In The Range
Looking at Magnum’s current freezer aisle presence, a Swizzels collaboration would be a significant pivot. The brand’s portfolio is built on a solid foundation of core products: Magnum Classic, Magnum White Chocolate, and Magnum Almond are the ever-presents, available in both standard and mini formats. The range expands from there, but within a fairly predictable set of flavour profiles that align with traditional dessert ingredients.
For instance, their fruit offerings include Magnum Double Raspberry and the recent Signature Peach. Nut flavours are covered by the popular Magnum Pistachio, while other classic combinations are represented by Magnum Mint and Magnum Salted Caramel. They even offer a Magnum Vegan Classic. What is entirely absent from this line-up is any kind of partnership with another sweet brand. There are no chocolate bar crossovers, no fizzy drink collaborations, and certainly nothing involving sherbet. A Refresher-flavoured bar would not just be a new product; it would represent a completely new strategy for the brand in the UK, pushing it towards a younger, more novelty-driven audience.
What the real range looks like
The current Magnum range includes core classics like Classic, Almond, and White Chocolate, alongside fruit-led options like Double Raspberry and Signature Peach. A fizzy sweet crossover like Swizzels Refreshers would be a first for the brand, sitting outside its usual profile of nuts, chocolate variants, and fruit.

Frequently asked questions
- What flavour is a Swizzels Refresher?
- The original Swizzels Refresher is a chewy sweet with a lemon and strawberry flavour profile. Its most distinctive feature is the fizzy sherbet centre, which the mockup suggests would be a key component of the ice cream.
- Does Magnum make other sweet brand crossovers?
- Based on their current UK range, no. Magnum’s variants tend to focus on established ice cream flavours like mint, salted caramel, and pistachio, or fruit combinations such as raspberry and peach. A collaboration with a confectionery brand like Swizzels would be a new direction for them.
- Is the Swizzels Refreshers Magnum real?
- No, this is a Snackfish. The image is a mockup created by the online design page UK Snack Attack. It is a concept product and is not available to buy anywhere.
