Talk about a company that does it all! R.L. Albert & Son, Inc., is one of the most prolific candy makers you've probably never heard of. Founded in 1916 as a European food importer, the company quickly found a "sweet spot' selling all kinds of wonderful confections, and their signature Ice Cubes have been a beloved treat since the 1950s.
In our stores you can buy individual Ice Cubes for some small change, just like your parents and grandparents did. Or, if you're a big fan, you can buy a 60- or 100-piece case of Ice Cubes to enjoy and share. The rows upon rows of individually-wrapped candies glisten like the gold in Fort Knox, but the real treasure is the soft, smooth iced chocolate (kind of like a dense, fudgy frosting) inside!
And once you've fallen in love with Ice Cubes, you'll definitely want to check out Albert's other offerings. With a selection ranging from classic lollipops, to powdered candy, to gumballs and soft chews, you could satisfy the most adventurous sweet tooth on their products alone!
Jimmy Sweet Tooth says: Before I even sampled these I was in love with their retro charm. Just looking at that wrapper, you know these are going to give you a taste of the past. They're made with coconut oil, which is what keeps them so soft, but that doesn't come through in the flavor. These are most definitely a chocolaty candy. Unlike other chocolates that have a snap when you break them, these are very creamy and melt away almost as soon as you pop them into your mouth.

With a little imagination, you can find an excuse to serve Ice Cubes at just about any event!
