In Peru adoquines are flavored ice, mostly in cube form. But I think the use in your translation fits. No one is going to get rebellious and throw flavored ice or candies. I think it's more referring to the shape, brick-like.

Just serendipity, but here in Zaragoza there is a local candy sold everywhere called "adoquines". They might be named after the cobblestones in the old town streets or perhaps after the stubborness of the people here in Aragon. A common expression when someone is being obstinate is, "You're a cobblestone!"
