Rocket Fizz opened six months later in Rice Village. The franchise candy store specializes in old-fashioned soda pop, retro candy and nostalgia-driven novelties.
The super-size candy store is an explosion of color with bin after bin of pastel-tinted salt water taffy, tin signs and magnets, oversize chocolate bars, gummi worms, Smarties, giant lollipops and replica concert posters.

The Chocolate Bar
This shrine to all things chocolate is celebrating it’s 10th anniversary this week. Known for its monster-size slices of cake and candy-studded house-made ice creams, the store also offers almost anything you can imagine dipped in super-rich chocolate. Popcorn, Oreos, raspberries, apple slices, bananas, graham crackers, almonds, raisins, espresso beans, pretzels — all get an artful coating of chocolate.

La King’s Confectionary
Candy is old-school and house-made at this Galveston institution with roots dating to 1927. The setting is as sweet as the menu: a 150-year-old storefront with wooden floors, retro furniture and a 1920s soda fountain.
