Candy selection overload!…read more Stopped in while in our search for real rootbeer while in Fredericksburg TX. You could spend hours going through all the candy options they hand. But they also had a nice selection of fudge which you can ask for some free samples. They also had other chocolates, including chocolate covered pickles, chocolate covered jalapeños and chocolate cover bacon. We tried some chocolate covered bacon and chocolate covered marshmallows which were both really good and some mixed nut fudge which was also really good. Staff was super friendly unfortunately no real rootbeer here. But very nice candy store and definitely a stop if you have a sweet tooth.

Self-bagged candy is usually the same price per pound across the board but I didn't expect anything more than $5 - $8 per pound. With what little I had $70. My 3 were bagged items the rest were wrapped candy. I put back all the pre-packaged candy and still paid over $19. M&M - $27 per pound Chocolate candy - $17.95 per pound Regular sugar type candy - $10.75 per pound Pop Rocks over $3.95- Chocolate Bar $7.95 No wonder they didn't have prices on anything. People probably wouldn't buy it if they knew the price when looking. My sister went ahead and paid her $60 bill but considered putting candy back. I wasn't ashamed to put 3/4 back.

Whenever we're out and about on South Congress (shopping and/or brunching), we like to stop in for a little treat. They even have an old-fashioned soda fountain where you can get egg cream soda. Now, I'm an expert of sorts on real NYC egg creams and I'll say they do a pretty decent job of it. I love the Italian cream soda! You can get scoops of ice cream, sundaes, and banana splits too. The candy selection is crazy big. Bins and bins of penny candy, gum, chocolate, nostalgia candies...too many to name. It absolutely feels like time has stood still in this marvelously sweet shop.
