Mike and Ike: Italian Ice

Mike and Ike’s Italian Ice
This candy is labeled as Gluten Free

Not sure if I have had Mike and Ike in the past or not but if I had, the fact it’s now made with REAL fruit juice must have greatly improved it! They also use real sugar as a top ingredant. You can get boxes with a variety of themed flavors.

This is their "Italian Ice" set. You can pick up a box at Wal-mart for around 88 cents. Or check out thier website HERE

Over all a nice Gluten Free candy to please your sweet tooth.


My personal overview of the flavors…
Lemon – Outside coating has a real lemon flavor the middle taste like a generic jelly bean. The original does not have this "mint" flavor. I’ve never had Italian Ice so maybe it would make more since if I had. My mom really liked the "minty" center flavor. I did not.

Blue Raspberry – Not the best rendition of Blue Raspberry and I’m a pretty big fan of blue raspberry. Again, the center is a generic jelly bean flavor.

Orange – Yum. I like this one! Tastes like one of those cutie baby oranges. Still not digging the bland jellybean center though.

Watermelon – Hmm… yeah, resembles watermelon. Not crazy about it though… but I’m not a fan or watermelon flavors anyway. Ditto about the center.

Cherry – Yeah, cherry. Not bad. But yuck to the Jelly bean flavor center…
