Katjes Gletschereis Cooling Hard Candies 200g (7.1oz)

Katjes Gletschereis Hard Candies are German cooling hard candies — the Katjes brand's Gletschereis (Glacier Ice) format, the transparent, cool-tasting hard candy with a characteristic icy, refreshing quality that sets it apart from standard fruit or mint candies. Katjes is a German confectionery brand founded in 1950 in Emmerich am Rhein, one of Germany's most important candy makers, known for the fruit gummies (the brand name Katjes means small cats in German, and the cat-shaped gummies are a signature), fruit hard candies, and specialty confectionery that represent the quality end of German candy culture. Gletschereis candies draw on the Central European tradition of cooling, refreshing hard candies that provide a sensation of cold or freshness without necessarily being peppermint-flavored — the specific transparent crystal quality of Gletschereis candies connects to the Austrian and German confectionery tradition of producing hard candies with strong visual and sensory identity, where the translucent appearance signals the refreshing quality of the taste. Keep in a bowl as a refreshing candy between guests at a gathering, eat as a palate-refreshing sweet after a meal, carry in a pocket for a cooling sweet during warm weather, or buy as the Katjes Gletschereis that is immediately familiar to anyone from the German or Austrian diaspora who grew up with the brand's characteristic candy formats.
