Maxibon is a brand of ice cream sandwich made by Froneri. It consists of a block of ice cream containing small chocolate chips with one end covered in chocolate, and the other sandwiched between two biscuits.
History[]
The Maxibon is an ice cream sandwich produced for the first time in Italy by Motta (Italgel) in 1989 and then brought to international markets by Nestlé starting from 1993 when the latter acquired Italgel. Since 2016, the brand has been owned by Froneri, a joint venture between the English R&R Ice Cream and Nestlé itself.[1]
The Maxibon bar is available in Europe, Canada, Australia, Chile, Egypt and New Zealand and can be purchased from 'Maxibon Zone' stands in European cities, such as Madrid. There are three available variations of Maxibon in Europe including vanilla, white chocolate and original flavour. There are also specials released from time to time, with unique flavors as well.
