Candy Shop in Old Village Square Shopping Center

Does anybody remember the name of the candy/chocolate shop that was in Village Square on College Drive in Baton Rouge next to the old Coffee Call location in the 1980's? If I remember correctly, it was originally named Fudrucker's but changed its name to Chocollage at some point (possibly due to a copyright dispute with the burger joint named Fudrucker's). Can someone confirm whether my memory is correct?
Village Square was (or still is) the name of the shopping center on College Drive with Wal-Mart, Coffee Call, SportsClips, etc. but it looked very different. Before Wal-Mart, there was a huge store named Service Merchandise (and named Wilson's before that). Coffee Call was on the opposite side of the shopping center from its current location, and there was a candy shop next door to it. I am trying to remember the name of that candy shop.

It was something before Chocollage but I can't remember. I don't think it was Fudrucker's.

Used to stop at Frumbrussels when we went to the bookshop, I think it was Elliott's books. Great little bookstore.

In like 1st grade we went on a field trip to see their candy factory. Anyone know exactly where it was? I always thought it was at Jones Creek and George Oneal where McDonalds is now. But really no clue.
ETA: oh it was out there.

Yep I don't remember it specifically but I remember being excited to go as a little kid. The chocolate place was chocolage I don't remember the name before it. That old shopping center was great as a kid. I think there was a comic/games store too Little wars?

I know but they had an actual factory out there off Jones Creek where they made the candy.

What's with the downvoting in this thread?
Posted on 8/17/20 at 11:43 am to TDsngumbo
I already had that stuck in my head before reading the thread, but I still had to confirm someone acknowledged it

Little wars was still there as of a few months ago
ETA: who downvotes a statement that a store was still in business?

Same shopping center that original Mansurs and Great Wall were in.

That mall had a magic shop and a model (Testor’s, not Victoria’s Secret) store, too. I think there was a P.O.E.T.S. restaurant there too but that was long ago.
