Choose Cornetto Chocolate if individual wafer cones matter more than a stated cocoa percentage: Tesco Groceries and Sainsbury’s list six 90 ml cones with 3% dark-chocolate pieces, but do not give a comparable cocoa percentage for the coating. If a declared cocoa percentage matters more than serving cones, Tesco Groceries lists a 70% cocoa coating for Magnum Collection Intense Dark sticks. Check the current pack’s ingredients and allergen statements before serving guests.
Cornetto Chocolate offers six 90 ml wafer cones that can be handed out without scooping. Tesco Groceries and Sainsbury’s describe chocolate and vanilla ice creams with dark-chocolate pieces; the pieces are not a stated cocoa percentage for the cone.
Tesco Groceries lists a 70% cocoa coating for Magnum Collection Intense Dark. It is a stick rather than a cone, so choose that format only if the cocoa declaration matters more than the wafer-cone presentation.
Read the ingredient and precautionary allergen statements on the exact current pack before serving. A dark-chocolate description alone cannot establish whether a cone or stick suits a guest’s requirements.
Decide whether the cone format or a stated cocoa percentage matters more for this afternoon tea, then match the pack size and ingredients to your guests.
| Priority | What to check | Your needs |
|---|---|---|
| Cocoa declaration | Look for a cocoa percentage on the exact pack. Tesco Groceries lists 3% dark-chocolate pieces and a 9% chocolate-flavour coating for Cornetto Chocolate; those component amounts are not cocoa percentages. It lists a 70% cocoa coating for Magnum Collection Intense Dark sticks. | I want a stated cocoa percentage, even if that means serving a stick rather than a cone. |
| Servings and format | Compare the number and volume of individual servings: Tesco Groceries and Sainsbury’s list Cornetto Chocolate as six 90 ml cones, while Tesco Groceries lists Magnum Collection Intense Dark as three 100 ml sticks. | There must be enough portions for my guests, and I may want wafer cones that can be handed out without scooping. |
| Hazelnut variation | Sainsbury’s lists Cornetto MAX Hazelnut & Chocolate as four 90 ml cones. Its stated 2% dark chocolate is in the chocolate-ice-cream mix, not a cocoa percentage for the product. | I would consider a hazelnut-and-chocolate cone if its ingredients suit everyone I am serving. |
| Allergens | Read the current pack’s ingredients and may-contain statements for the exact variant. Check any relevant milk, cereal, soya and nut information rather than deciding from the flavour name. | Before serving someone with an allergy or other dietary requirement, I need to know whether that specific pack is suitable for them. |
Tesco Groceries lists dark-chocolate pieces at 3% in Cornetto Chocolate, but that figure describes the share of pieces, not their cocoa content.
If a stated cocoa percentage determines your choice, find it on the exact product listing or current pack rather than inferring it from the flavour description.
Tesco Groceries lists Magnum Collection Intense Dark as three 100 ml sticks. Cornetto Chocolate is listed as six 90 ml cones, so the two packs serve different numbers of guests.
Count the portions needed and decide whether sticks suit the occasion before switching away from cones.
Chocolate products can have different ingredient and precautionary allergen statements. A cocoa declaration does not establish suitability for a guest with an allergy.
Check the physical pack immediately before serving and take account of the guest’s specific requirements.
A reference for the cone-first choice: Tesco Groceries and Sainsbury’s list Cornetto Chocolate as six 90 ml wafer cones with chocolate and vanilla ice creams.
A reference for choosing a declared cocoa percentage instead of a cone: Tesco Groceries lists a 70% cocoa coating for Magnum Collection Intense Dark sticks.
Its listings provide two cone references for this decision: Cornetto Chocolate and Cornetto MAX Hazelnut & Chocolate.
This stick-format option is relevant when a cone is not essential. If a stated cocoa percentage is decisive, check the exact pack before choosing it.

Three individually portioned 100 ml sticks offer a non-cone serving option for afternoon tea. Check the current pack for its cocoa declaration and allergen statements if either affects your choice.
Not on their own. Tesco Groceries and Sainsbury’s list 3% dark-chocolate pieces in Cornetto Chocolate, but that is the amount of pieces in the product, not a cocoa percentage. Check the exact pack for a cocoa declaration if one matters to you.
Tesco Groceries lists a 70% cocoa dark-chocolate coating for Magnum Collection Intense Dark. That listed product is an ice-cream stick rather than a cone, so it changes how you would serve dessert at afternoon tea.
Check the ingredients and precautionary allergen statements on the exact current pack before serving. Do not rely on a dark-chocolate description or an ingredient list remembered from a previous purchase.
