[edit] General Overview
Honeyduke's Sweet Shop is a candy and treat store in the Village of Hogsmeade. It is very popular among Hogwarts students, on those occasions when they are allowed into the village ("Hogsmeade weekends").
[edit] Extended Description
Honeyduke's is also the terminus of one of the secret passages out of the school, used extensively by Harry in Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, and also presumably by Sirius Black to enter the school in that same book. Once Harry has received permission to visit Hogsmeade on the weekends, which he does at the end of the book, he has little further need for that passage.
Because of this, it seems that we see Honeyduke's only in the third book, and later in the sixth book: in the only Hogsmeade visit that year, Harry, Ron, and Hermione run into Professor Slughorn, who is there buying some of his favorite crystallized pineapple.
