Maxibon is a super cool ice cream treat! It's like a yummy sandwich made of ice cream. This frozen dessert has small chocolate chips inside. One part of the Maxibon is covered in chocolate, and the other part is held between two tasty biscuits. It's made by a company called Froneri.
The Story of Maxibon
Maxibon first came out in Italy in 1989. A company called Motta created it. Later, in 1993, a big company called Nestlé bought Motta. This helped Maxibon become popular all around the world!
Since 2016, Maxibon has been owned by Froneri. This company is a partnership between the English company R&R Ice Cream and Nestlé. So, Nestlé is still involved in making these treats!
You can find Maxibon in many places like Europe, Canada, Australia, Chile, Egypt, and New Zealand. Sometimes, you can even buy them from special 'Maxibon Zone' stands in European cities, like Madrid. In Europe, you can usually find vanilla, white chocolate, and the original flavor. They also release special, limited-time flavors sometimes!
In 2022, Nestlé stopped selling Maxibon in the UK.
