Any supermarkets/shops have mint choc chip ice cream with actual chocolate chips in it?

Every shop has stopped doing them for some reason and wondering if there are any outliers I might have missed. None of those mint ice creams with chocolate flavouring

Sainsbury's do an own label mint Magnum with chips and a coating that claim to be chocolate. It's pretty good

You can have a crack at making your own : https://jamieoliverdishes.com/jamie-oliver-mint-aero-ice-cream/

Mint Vienneta is there of course.

Mint Vienetta has never had chocolate chips in.

To quote Walls:

Smooth mint flavour ice creams between crisp chocolate flavour layers (11%).

Lidl - Bon Gelati Mint Ice Cream: Mint flavoured ice cream with 8% chocolate chips

There isn’t such in the UK that could legally be called chocolate at the moment, so I’m guessing ice cream is way down on the list for manufacturers to be putting real chocolate in it.

I miss old mint chocolate chip. Nowadays the mint tends to be too weak also and if the ice cream is white, I know to expect disappointment.

Following as I’m interested in the answers I miss mint feasts

I always keep a bag of supermarket own brand chocolate chips (from the baking aisle) in stock to stave off these types of disappointments

Asdas own brand looks like it has actual chocolate in.

It's like the ice cream industry had a secret meeting and decided that 'chocolate-flavored specks' were a valid substitute for actual chips. It's a tragedy, honestly. I've found that some of the 'premium' supermarket own-brands (like the ones in the black tubs) still have some dignity left, but even then, it's a gamble. At this rate, I'll be buying a bar of Dairy Milk and a cheese grater just to get a decent fix. Hope you find the 'holy grail' of minty goodness soon! Or at least something that doesn't taste like toothpaste and lies.

Ben and Jerry's did Minter Wonderland - if that's still a goer?
