Rocket Fizz, Denver

You’ll find likeminded candy-obsessed sugar seekers at Rocket Fizz, a marvelous wonderland of sweets in downtown Denver that’s filled to the brim with nostalgic, rare, imported and modern confections, some of which you won’t find anywhere else in the Mile High City. Fetch a basket and go grabby for Mexican jumping beans, Japanese Crunky chocolate, Sixlets, Pop Rocks, saltwater taffy in every flavor, Razzles, candy cigarettes and Hello Kitty candies. And that’s just the beginning: An entire wall is devoted to sodas – the root beer selection alone is worth the price of admission – and even showcases bottles flavored with bacon, lavender and everything in between. If you have a sweet tooth and get a kick out of nostalgia, Rocket Fizz is a must-stop Denver destination.
