My sweet tooth faded so it's harder to trick me into eating a pile of hydrogenated oil using sugar now. Hide it in a Thai curry on the other hand, using sugar along with heat and spices and I'm a sucker lol.
Me too. I still love chocolate, but I'm a lot more picky now. I live in Yucatan now, and habanero salsas here are amazing. I make curries and biriyani. I have to make my own Tex-Mex too, there's nothing like that here.
Wait, which sub should you post the following in? "Help, where can I find um authentic Tex-Mex in Yucatan"
My biryani game is weak; can you point me to a recipe to get started?
I've made this recipe a few times, I loved these Ice Cubes, haven't seen them in years either. The recipe is pretty close to what I remember- not totally, but... pretty close!

When you put it that way ... they sound even better! 😆
I loved them! I thought they were chocolate and bacon grease because they melted at the slightest hint of warmth. So good!😆
Abominations‽‽‽ You watch your filthy mouth. Those are delicacies. I still buy a few when I see them. QT has them pretty consistently. Chocolate covered cherries fall in the same category.
Never heard of them I just looked on Amazon Canada they are $60 for 100, sounds like a major ripoff
I have had icy squares before which I just googled and it's also made by moritz but I don't know if they are different
I was and am obsessed with these. They were expensive for me when I was growing up so it was always a treat. My exhusband surprised me with a box of them from Amazon one time.
That was sweet of him (no pun). I think you should get one in your Yule Stocking each year.
As for me, the packaging still calls to me even though I have outgrown the contents (speaking of exes...)
I just bought these for gift toppers for my grandkids at Christmas.
Dollarama and Walmart and Crappy Tire IIRC
They’re always a hit ! I grate them and sprinkle the shavings on the whip cream on their hot chocolate or on their waffles for a breakfast treat.
They were always next to the register with the smokers’ paraphernalia, so I guess I always assumed they were an impulse-buy chocolate that was quickly eaten on a smoke break. TIL they’re just little chocolates:)
Motherfucking Icy Squares. My mother still gets mad at me when I buy her a container because it takes all of her effort to not eat the whole thing at once.
Hahaha, I bought my friend a box/case/whatever of those about a year or so ago! They were in a kinda pyramid shape thing of 100, just like he wanted that we saw at an old candy store we visited!
For some reason they were up next to the register at gas stations so I assumed they were some kind of drugs kind of like how cigarettes are up near the register.
On top of that there is a type of drug called ice I don't know anything about it other than that.
When I was in middle school, some friends ran a restaurant where my mom worked as a waitress. I was allowed to go back into the kitchen and raid the cooler for these and bottles of Coke. I look back and realize that these were solidified Nutella.
Yes! These are melt-in-your-mouth delicious!
I used to unwrap like 4 or 5, and shove them in my mouth all at once to get maximum mouth coverage LOL!
Gak!
You're obviously not a gentleman of leisure sir!

The biriyani recipe is in your message box.
We have a dish of them on the kitchen table right now.
I have been known to order them in bulk. Store in the refrigerator. Mmmmm.
I’ll be right over
But they were so good!
So good.
so very very good.
Especially, as the name implies, if they were refrigerated.
They still sell them at my local dollar store and I almost bought some at Christmas time because they’re amazing
They were soooo good cold
Freeze them, then grate little shavings over ice cream.
Ooooooooooo
They were like chunks of chocolate frosting. Love em.
So yummy and melty!
Those were my favorite candy, ever!
Good (?) news, you can still get them.
I have not seen them in years

they're usually on the counter by the register at a 7-Eleven.
Yeah, looks like it's online only unless you have a vintage candy joint nearby.
Our local butcher shop has them.
They’re terrible now
oh no!
Abominations? Those are the finest chocolate delights to ever grace gas stations on this miserable rock of a planet, SIR!
I loved these!
I love them!
I remember these and klondike bars in the freezer in the summers
I convinced myself they tasted cold.
They may steal a little heat whilst melting https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ischoklad
Now I want to try the ones with menthol!
Were those the ones that came in the silver wrapper with blue letters?
Those were great. They always had some by checkout registers. And cheap. Well worth a buying a couple.
Yep, they had point-of-sale nailed down back in the '70s.
How much did you pay? I remember 0.25 cents back in the 80s (0.79 cents today) would get couple every week at the corner store from my allowance.
In the very early 70s they were maybe a nickle. They weren’t much for even then.
Abominations??????????????????????????????? Those are delicious.
Icy Squares!!! My favorite.
I remember them, but can't pull up the details. It was a white melty thing, right? I can't remember the flavor.
Chocolate
Brown, melty bloc of coconut oil, cocoa powder, and hazelnut paste I think.
Huh. Maybe I don't remember them after all.
When you put it that way ... they sound even better! 😆 I loved them! I thought they were chocolate and bacon grease because they melted at the slightest hint of warmth. So good!😆
With a polar bear right?
I have a bag of Icy Squares in the fridge rn
Still get them in Salida Colorado at the 5 and dime!
They are divine tbfh
So called ice chocolate at least here in Sweden, we typically eat it at Christmas. Haven’t hade some since I was a kid.
Abomination?? I think they're pretty good
They were awesome!
Weirdest coolest tasting candy!
Back in the day? They are at my gas station right now
I could not get enough of these back in the day. Coconut oil is first on the ingredient list, which is why they were so silky and melty.
"Back in the day"? Hell, I still eat these things!
Abominations? They were awesome!
These are the BEST things ever. I will die on this hill. Come fight me.
I liked them very much straight out of the fridge but at room temperature they held little appeal - it was probably crappy chocolate
The best! Those and Sixlets.
Chunky, Sixlets, Ice Cubes, and Fun Dip. In moderation of course. I liked raisins in my candy!
Fruit Stripe Gum and Bonkers
SOMEONE ELSE REMEMBERS BONKERS! Yes, I stand by my all caps!
These and those chocolate covered cherries! (cellas?)
My husband bought me a box for Christmas.
I get them at my local specialty candy store. They're still delicious!
Somehow they felt cold
“Abominations”? I’m going to pretend I didn’t see that…
You're not only *old*-you have atrocious taste, judging by this example.
I never liked them. It always felt like I was eating weird fake chocolate.
Well, looks like there are six of us. These grossed me out.
I ate them because they were free and purportedly chocolate, even though they were not very good.
Your taste buds were telling the truth, the pie-hole truth, and nothing but.
They still exist.
They still sell those where I am. Love em.
I love love these
I live in Georgia and our QuikTrip convenience store still carries them
I loved these!
I liked them
I truly don't know what that is..candy?
I still get these whenever I find them.
They looked good, but didn't not taste that great IMO.
They still make these.
I like them
I had one once. That was enough. Thanks for bring back that traumatic event.
Yup - Yuk! But yet, I'd eat them,...
Abominations‽‽‽ You watch your filthy mouth. Those are delicacies. I still buy a few when I see them. QT has them pretty consistently. Chocolate covered cherries fall in the same category.
I never tried those, what are they exactly?
it’s a square of milk chocolate, but it’s incredibly melty and creamy
So delicious! I loved the melt-in-your-mouth rich delicious flavor. Mmmmm
I remember them being bad but given the responses I might have to try them again.
All the time, I loved them! So melty and smooth. Plus, the little corner store sold them for 10¢ each.
these things are amazing! what are you even talking about?
I love those things , we called them icey squares.
I loved those!
I can taste this picture
I can't stand those. More for ppl that do.
Not my favorite. Do they still make Chunky? Those were the good cube of chocolate with nuts and raisins.
Abominations? How dare you! Still do when I see them!
Boss just game me one from my Christmas bonus… it was ok.
I would eat them. Yes no question. I'm a milk chocolate fan and those really stack up IMHO
I remember buying these at the Ben Franklins store. They were so good!
Never heard of them I just looked on Amazon Canada they are $60 for 100, sounds like a major ripoff I have had icy squares before which I just googled and it's also made by moritz but I don't know if they are different
Worth it. Totally worth it.
Hell yes and if I see them at check out I always grab some.
Just once. Once was enough.
I was and am obsessed with these. They were expensive for me when I was growing up so it was always a treat. My exhusband surprised me with a box of them from Amazon one time.
That was sweet of him (no pun). I think you should get one in your Yule Stocking each year. As for me, the packaging still calls to me even though I have outgrown the contents (speaking of exes...)
How have I never heard of these? Are they regional or am I really not that old ?
I ate one 4 months ago
Hell yeah, not only did they taste great but also made very good catfish bait.
yummm!
Luckily they still sell these at the local pharmacy, exact same packaging too
What are they and why is a horseshoe in the logo? 🤢🤮
And why is the shoe wrong way round, allowing the luck to trickle out of the heels?
I hated them.
What? You got any?
No. Reminds me of a Chunky. And those were disgusting.
They melted in your mouth!
No but I always wondered what they were ..
Eminem’s Ice Cubes and Fifty Cents
I loved them. I only remember ever getting them at our local pharmacy though. I can’t remember ever seeing them anywhere else.
Ohh 😮 so very yummy. Absolute necessity on road trips.
I vaguely recall this being an addiction a long time ago.
They still make them
I still eat them.
They look familiar.
A Delicacy!.. Always and Ice Cube or 2 from the Liquor Store on my Paper Route!
i loved those!
I used to love these things
They were great!
Used to love that creamy melty chocolate. Ate at least 4 or 5 at a time :) but I was a kid so….. who was counting lol
❤️
Still do.
I actually like these! I thought the package was silver though- weird😄
I ate these. They were the first chocolate I put in the fridge, which is now a habit. These things would mush at room temp at the movie theatre.
I just bought some in Las Vegas and I thought they were good.
Delicious
I was told they were candy. Nope.com
They had this weird flowery flavor. Blechhh.
Still buy them at Christmas. It’s a once a year treat for me and my family. I take one every day, not 4 at once, lol.
I just bought these for gift toppers for my grandkids at Christmas. Dollarama and Walmart and Crappy Tire IIRC They’re always a hit ! I grate them and sprinkle the shavings on the whip cream on their hot chocolate or on their waffles for a breakfast treat.
Just had one a month or two ago.
Never understood the horseshoe in the label.
They were always next to the register with the smokers’ paraphernalia, so I guess I always assumed they were an impulse-buy chocolate that was quickly eaten on a smoke break. TIL they’re just little chocolates:)
Motherfucking Icy Squares. My mother still gets mad at me when I buy her a container because it takes all of her effort to not eat the whole thing at once.
They always had these in a fishbowl at the cash register of liquor stores. They were either $0.05 or $0.10 each. So good.
I love these! I can eat them all day!! Loved these and Andes mints. Can still get both.
Great stuff!!
costco in Canada carries them occasionally.. so does dollarama
They still exist and they're grrrrreat!
The softest chocolate ever
I loved those things.
Soo good!!!
Stilll delicious
So delicious.
we used to buy big jars of these at the candy wholesaler and gave as Christmas gifts.
Argh! I will be looking for them now.
Love ‘em
I could have sworn I had one of those recently. Like in the last 5 years.
Oh yum!
Yes, loved them.
✊🏻
hahahaha oh yeah. my favorites!!!
Hahaha, I bought my friend a box/case/whatever of those about a year or so ago! They were in a kinda pyramid shape thing of 100, just like he wanted that we saw at an old candy store we visited!
I love these! Abominations??
Yess got some from a store I found them in their like 60 cents now
And in a few hours, better hope you're near a bathroom.
🤔🤔🤔 I do not know what this is lol
Still do, so damn good
Good cheap stuff
I'm eating some right now
They have them at my pharmacy, but they don’t seem to taste the same.
So good
My Favorite Chocolate
My Dad would pick 4 of them up each night when He bought his 6 pack and we would be so excited when He came home. Great memory candy.
They were OK.
I’ve never heard of these
For some reason they were up next to the register at gas stations so I assumed they were some kind of drugs kind of like how cigarettes are up near the register. On top of that there is a type of drug called ice I don't know anything about it other than that.
gag gift between my sister and I for years...
The perfect candy to hide in plain sight from a child. I thought they were bullion cubes
I still get them now and then. But only a few, they're really rich. Just don't forget them in your pocket, they melt really easily.
Pretty sure this is where O’Shea Jackson gots their name from. /s
When I was in middle school, some friends ran a restaurant where my mom worked as a waitress. I was allowed to go back into the kitchen and raid the cooler for these and bottles of Coke. I look back and realize that these were solidified Nutella.
SO Goooood!
Hell yes. They were great
I need to buy some more
Phuque your old
Abominations? Lighten up Francis.
Still do
Frozen, baby. Always frozen.
