Cottee's Ice Magic Chocolate

Cottee's Ice Magic is an iconic Australian chocolate syrup that solidifies into a hard shell when poured over cold ice cream. The brand has a long-standing history in Australia, originally founded by Spencer Cottee in New South Wales during the early 20th century, starting with soft drinks and jams before expanding into cordials and toppings.

Today, the Cottee's brand and the Ice Magic product line are manufactured in Australia, maintaining a strong local presence. Ownership of the brand transitioned through several major corporations over the decades, including Cadbury Schweppes. As of the current period, the brand is part of the Asahi Lifestyle Beverages portfolio in Australia, following the global acquisition of various Cadbury Schweppes and later Schweppes Australia assets by Asahi Group Holdings.

Asahi Group Holdings, the ultimate owner, is a multinational beverage and food company headquartered in Tokyo, Japan. Under this ownership, Cottee's continues to be a staple in Australian households, known particularly for its cordials and its unique shell-forming ice cream toppings.
