These candies are easily available online and come in two flavors: Cherry and Blue Raspberry. The colorful candy tubes are pretty popular among kids, who love squeezing the candy out to put into their mouth and enjoy the taste.

However, take some time to make your kid aware of the difference between toothpaste and ice candy. These candies tubes look like toothpaste, and your kid might accidentally eat toothpaste. It is very dangerous for health.

5. Idaho Spud Candy Bar

It’s another famous candy that starts with I. The first Idaho Spud Candy Bar launched in 1918, more than 100 years ago. Since then, the company has been maintaining their market. They have many super fans who eat just Idaho candy and none other.

The reason behind its popularity is its unique taste and texture. The candy comes in the shape of a spud, and inside, it contains the crunchy white layers of spud that enhance the taste, and people love to chew it.

6. Ice breakers

Ice breakers are a popular candy that starts with I. Initially, it was sold as a line of mints that included chewing gum, mint candies etc. However, their popularity grew when Hershey’s took over the company from Nabisco in 1990 and launched various other products in the brand.

With complete ownership, Hershey’s launched other flavors, including breath mints, cube gum, peppermint chews, etc. However, the original ice breaker chewing gum is still in trend, and people love it more than any other additions the company made later.

Recently, in 2018 Hershey’s launched their latest product called Ice breakers with glitter-sprinkled gum filled with liquid, and it was an instant hit. Maybe, Hershey’s will launch new flavors in the future, but the concept and craze for ice breakers will be the same.

7. Ice caps

These are hard shell candies you pop in your mouth to get the minty cool experience with the taste of your favorite chocolate. You can purchase them in bulk packaging, but they are not individually packed and not easy to carry.

This icy candy is the best option if you are having a heavy day and want to cool your mind. It gives you a taste of chocolate with the minty flavor that soothes your mind and makes you feel better.

8. Ice cubes

Ice cubes have been around for more than 70 years, and people love the concept that matches icy flavors with chocolate. Similar to Ice caps, these candies also provide a minty experience.

They come in small chocolate cubes that immediately melt in your mouth, leaving a creamy-cool experience. It almost gives you the experience of putting an ice cube on your tongue. That’s why they are called ice cubes.

Some people think halls and other minty candies are ice cubes, and it’s also true up to an extent because those candies also provide a similar experience.

There is no specific brand that’s famous for selling ice cubes. Instead, you can find them being sold loose in retail stores where each candy tastes different from the other.

9. Intense oranges

Intense oranges is a dark chocolate candy that starts with I. It includes the slightly bitter taste of dark chocolate with the little mixed flavor of oranges. It comes in fancy packaging, and it is hard to forget the smell. If you love dark chocolate, then intense oranges are a must-try.

They don’t have smaller packings. Instead, it comes as a big candy bar that is difficult to eat at once. However, it’s easily available in most countries but hard to find in nearby retail stores. We will recommend you to search them online.

10. Ivory Mountain

If you like the idea of white chocolate filled inside the dark chocolate, you would love eating the ivory mountain candy that starts with I. It’s a chocolate bar sold by various companies where Cadbury and Amul are the most famous.

Some say it brings back childhood memories, and you can eat white and dark chocolate at one price. It’s a fantastic concept that never got much traction because most people didn’t like the taste.

Companies tried to launch unique candy bars with dark chocolate on one end and white on the other, but it never worked. Even Cadbury was in the news promoting this candy bar as a “racism solver.”

It’s not so popular, but you can easily find it online. If you feel like experimenting with your chocolate experience, then it’s surely worth trying.

11. Imps

Imps is another candy that starts with I and licorice candy that tastes sweet, bitter, salty, and sour. It comes in an old-school box packaging that contains multiple bit sizes Imps candies that include the taste of methanol and licorice. Also, it leaves you with a minty experience with multiple tastes.

You can find them in two flavors that come with and without methanol. Most people love the Imps candy with black licorice, while others prefer it with methanol. However, it’s not very popular these days and is difficult to find.

Don’t miss it. If you ever get a chance to try Imps candy, you may never find it again. Also, if you ask us about the taste, we recommend you try the combined flavor with methanol. It tastes much better!

12. Imli Goli

Imli goli is similar to imli candy, which contains almost the same ingredients. However, the special mix used in goli makes them a good remedy to cure gastric problems. Most people in India consume imli goli as a digestive candy that helps solve some stomach-related issues.

However, we cannot deny that these candies contain a lot of sugar that minimizes the bitterness of tamarin used to prepare these candies. They are easily available in India and overseas, but you cannot find a specific brand that promotes them. Instead, purchase them locally in bulk.

The sweet-tangy taste will refresh your mood, while the digestive capabilities will keep your stomach healthy. Don’t eat these candies if you are on a strict diet!

13. Iris Candy

It isn’t easy to find iris candy, but it was most popular in France. This candy is prepared using milk caramel that gives it a chewy texture and comes in a bar form. You may not find the original candy, but the alternatives are still available in the market.
