Or, is it perhaps a surname? (The question arose whilst I and friends were savouring the candy by the same name)

Did you check the spelling while on a sugar high ? ;-)
The German verb "reisen" means "to travel", the noun "Reisen" is the plural of "die Reise" and means 'travels, journeys'. Those words are all pronounced "RI-zun"
However, I am not aware of a candy of that name.
BUT: There is one called "Storck Riesen" , the first word being the name of the manufacturer, the second one (pronounced "REE-zun") meaning "giants" in German, referring to their size compared to the "normal" size of a chewy caramel candy.

It's capitalized so it might not be "reisen" which indeed means "to travel" but Reisen which means trips or journeys. (Reisen is the plural of Reise).

It means "to travel". Eine Reise is a trip.

The verb reisen means to travel. But 'Reisen' when it is capitalized means journeys or travels when it is a noun. It could also mean to arise in high German like in the phrase 'Reisen Sie Seeman' ('Arise you sailor' though it is only ever used this way in this context).

As a surname it means:
Jewish (Ashkenazic): origin uncertain; possibly an ornamental name from northeastern Yiddish reyzn 'roses' (standard Yiddish royzn) (see Rose 3).
