Foodies have reacted with glee at the news that Marks and Spencer has launched a tub of Percy Pig-flavour ice cream.
The ice cream has that unmistakable Percy Pig flavour of raspberry and grape.
Plus the addition of strawberry marshmallow gives the ice cream a soft chewy texture, much like the sweets.
For fans of Percy Pig Dessert Sauce, you’ll find a ripple of that running through the ice cream.
M&S said: “It’s what Percy dreams are made of.”
The Percy Pig Ice Cream tubs, which are suitable for vegetarians, launch today (April 14).
It costs £3 per 453g tub and therefore, in our opinion, a total steal!

April continued: “This velvety smooth ice cream gives that famous Percy Pig flavour, combined with the soft chewy texture of marshmallow.”
She also explained just how she eats hers.

“Phew,” the woman responded.

In the shot, the ice cream has been scooped onto a waffle cone and drizzled with the dessert sauce.
“Looks amazing with the sauce,” said one.
“My girls are going to love this,” one mum commented.
