sweets and candy
"Seen
the Fizzing Whizbees, Harry?And the Jelly Slugs? And the Acid Pops? Fred
gave me one of those when I was seven -- it burnt a hole right through
my tongue. I remember Mum walloping him with her broomstick. Reckon Fred'd
take a bit of Cockroach Cluster if I told him they were peanuts?"

Chocolate has special properties. Not only does it make a wonderful treat, but it also serves as a particularly powerful antidote for the chilling effect produced by contact with Dementors and other particularly nasty forms of Dark Magic. Lupin carries chocolate with him on the Hogwarts Express (PA, which seems to suggest that he expected a problem with the Dementors, or perhaps that any Defense Against the Dark Arts specialist carries chocolate with them as a matter of course. Madame Pomfrey, when she heard that Lupin had given Harry chocolate after his encounter with the Dementors, nodded approvingly and stated that "at last we have a Defense Against the Dark Arts professor who knows his remedies." She herself uses enormous blocks of Honeyduke's best chocolate as an antidote in the Hospital Wing.
Honeydukes
Honeydukes
is the candy store in Hogsmeade.
In addition to most of the magical candies listed above, Honeydukes makes
their own fudge (PA8). They also sell creamy chunks of nougat, pink squares
of coconut ice, honey-colored toffees, and row upon row of different
kinds of chocolate.
The owners
of the store live over the shop. There is a secret passageway from Hogwarts
which opens in a trapdoor in the cellar.

NOTES
1
- One of the ingredients of Fizzing Wizzbees is dried Billywig
stings (FB). Harry notes in his copy of Fantastic Beasts that, in
that case, he won't be eating any more of those particular sweets.
2
- "Cockroach Clusters" are borrowed from a Monty Python sketch which focuses
on a candy-maker who specializes in disgusting chocolates. He argues that
his "Crunchy Frog" chocolates, for example, are made with the "finest baby
frogs, dew picked and cleansed and flown from Iraq..." The police inspector
exclaims, "Don't you even take the bones out?", to which the man replies,
"If we took the bones out, it wouldn't be crunchy, now would it?" The idea
for Chocolate Frog cards is also a tribute on JKR's part to Monty Python.
"British comedy
is an obsession of mine. I love Monty Python."
-- J. K. Rowling (Sch2)
3 - In the American edition of SS, the candy Dubledore is eating on the garden wall in Privet Drive and the candy name which he uses for the password to his office is given as "lemon drop." The original British version names this candy as a "sherbet lemon" which is not at all the same thing, but it was correctly decided that American readers would think of an icy dessert if they saw the word sherbet, so the substitution was made. In GF, however, the name was left as "sherbet lemon."
