This good for you candy was send to me on my late preegnancy. I was told it was good for me and going to be great to take to the hospital on my bag. It was all true. The texture of the candy is an optical illusion of ice chips. Comes in different flavors and pleases many different taste buds.
At first it looks like the packaging had to do with mints but when is open the odly shaped candy raises curiosity.
It tasted great, and the best part is that it was healthy, safe for diabetics and comes in different packaging and flavors. Lemon being one of personal favorites . I started exploring the different flavors not knowing that the candy was actually good for me and my teeth. It tasted good and it helped out with pregnancy sugar cravings (without the sugar intake) which was a win win situation.
The candy is made with xylitol a herbal remedy named to help teeth health and is not sugary so any pregnant woman or diabetic can enjoy. It certainly took away some sweet cravings and made me feel better because it was a type of candy that was good for me.
The owners where on the show Shark Tank and are two grandmas that have experimented with many herbal remedies and natural health products. The candy has been on the market recently and has captivated those who have tried it- specially those conscious of its healthy benefits.
The two grandmas nailed their entrepreneurship after they went to the show. However according to their website they started business ten years ago, making all natural salves to deal with difficult skin issues. Not dramatic but still, a lot of fun. They sold to several accounts and health businesses in their state and even tried to start a home party plan. About three years ago, in the fall of 2009, they were looking for a way to make Xylitol candy. “We knew Xylitol was great for teeth and diabetics could enjoy it.”
“One of the best things about being a novice is you have no idea what everybody thinks and everybody says. We are both grandmas and between us we have 37 grandchildren. We wanted a healthy candy that would taste good enough our grandchildren would gobble it the same way they gobbled sugar. Thus, Ice Chips Candy® was born”.

About the founders:
Bev Vines-Haines and Charlotte Clary have known each other since 1986. They met in Yelm, Washington, just two moms driving kids to church and school. But it wasn’t long before their matching entrepreneurial spirits had them bent over numerous ‘money making’ ideas and projects. They have researched home remedies, studied herbal properties and used their families as guinea pigs for numerous concoctions. Over the years, they have acquired a file filled with business cards they created for one idea after another. They have run a newspaper, produced original Murder Mystery Dinner events, operated an advertising and PR firm and generally sizzled with endless ideas.
