1 piece (medium) of Chocolate ice cream bar (60 g) has 162 calories. That works out to 270 calories per 100 g. It contains 17.4 g of carbs, 2.5 g of protein, 9 g of fat and 1.3 g of fiber. Its 0.2 µg of B12 covers 10% of the Daily Value. Its glycemic index is 45 (medium), so it raises blood sugar at a moderate pace.
A chocolate ice cream bar pairs a frozen, chocolate-flavoured dairy centre with a coating of chocolate, served on a stick for easy eating. Its creamy middle contrasts with the firmer shell, which cracks as you bite into it. It is a familiar grab-and-go dessert in many places, especially in warm weather; enjoy it straight from the wrapper, or serve it after a meal when you want something cold and sweet.
It is relatively high in sugar and fat, with 270 calories per 100 g, and is more of a treat than a filling snack. For a lighter serving, choose a smaller bar or pair it with fresh fruit rather than another rich dessert.

An EatBetter score computed from fiber, protein and calorie density. A high score means staying full longer on the same calories.
Both scores are calculated per 100 g and do not change with the selected portion. The satiety score is EatBetter's own calculation, not a clinical measure.

A chocolate ice cream bar usually has a frozen milk-based ice cream center and a chocolate coating. The center may be flavored with cocoa or chocolate, while the coating hardens into a shell around the ice cream.
You can make a chocolate ice cream bar by freezing chocolate ice cream in molds with sticks, then dipping the frozen bars in melted chocolate. Work quickly so the ice cream stays firm and the coating sets into a thin shell.
The coating on a chocolate ice cream bar can crack when it is handled roughly or when the ice cream and chocolate change temperature at different rates. Let the bar sit briefly before biting, rather than bending or squeezing it straight from the freezer.
Keep a chocolate ice cream bar in its wrapper in the freezer, away from the door where temperatures fluctuate more. Close the package tightly after opening to help protect the bar from air exposure and freezer odors.
No, you should not refreeze a fully melted chocolate ice cream bar. Refreezing can leave it icy and unpleasant, and a bar left warm for too long may not be safe to eat.
Yes, a chocolate ice cream bar may contain a small amount of caffeine from its cocoa or chocolate. The amount varies by recipe, and it is generally much less than you would get from a cup of coffee.
A chocolate ice cream bar can soften unevenly because its chocolate shell and frozen center warm at different rates. The thin outer coating may soften or become sticky before the middle of the bar has thawed.
A chocolate ice cream bar usually needs only a few minutes at room temperature to soften slightly. Leaving it out much longer can make the coating messy and the ice cream too soft to hold on its stick.
Yes, a chocolate ice cream bar is generally safe during pregnancy if it has been kept frozen and handled hygienically. Choose a product made with pasteurized dairy, and ask your healthcare professional if you have specific dietary restrictions.
Yes, you can eat a chocolate ice cream bar with a sore throat if the cold feels soothing to you. It will not treat the cause of the sore throat, and you can let the bar soften first if cold foods irritate your throat.
