About

Stepping into the Lone Star Candy Bar is like being transported to a different world, one where you are a kid enjoying every kind of candy you can imagine.

This cute candy store has everything from candy sold in bulk to freshly glazed nuts and popcorn (you'll smell it as soon as you open the door) and even ice cream for those hot summer days.

They also offer a large variety of saltwater taffies which I have noticed are a popular choice.

And what I quickly learned while perusing the store is that they are best known for their homemade fudge. Testing a bit, I can definitely say that you will not regret buying it! Without a doubt, Lone Star Candy Bar in the Texas Hill Country North offers many flavor options that are prepared right in the store.

That's because they love creating unique fudge flavors (they usually have about 36 flavors to choose from on any given day). Some of the fun flavors they've had in the past include peanut butter and jelly (so sweet and gooey!) and bacon.

Made with real butter and lots of love, you won't find their fudge sitting in a box somewhere. It is cut fresh to order.

Adding to his love of fudge is the ever-famous rack of chocolate explosion candy bars. On this coveted shelf, you're sure to find something rare. From chocolate covered dill pickle bars to sriracha hot chocolate, this eclectic candy store has it all! It's a lot of fun challenging each other with something weird (it's almost always super cool!)

This cool candy store offers lots of nostalgic sweets, a great selection of flavored sodas, and some fantastic novelties, among many other amazing items.

And with inventory always changing, Lone Star Candy Bar is a place you'll want to visit again and again!

And if you're looking for a good social media photo shoot, look no further! Almost everyone wants to sit on the Lone Star Candy Bar bench up front with the famous Jelly Belly character. The statue has long been a fixture in the area and has remained a popular attraction for those looking for a fun photo op. It's a great keepsake to take home with you.
