They are a tiny store, you can easily miss them, but they do set right off the road with good signage. The lot is small, but adequate. My visit was on a weekday in the Spring and they were not busy. I was greeted warmly and offered a sample of one of their well know bourbon candies with a single pecan on it. Of course I enjoyed and have actually had before. They make the chocolates for many of the distilleries in the area and have for decades. The business itself dates back to 1919. I did not do a tour, but it appears they offer. Ruth's offer a lot of variety and I do mean a lot! They also some of the branded boxes like Makers Mark. The service was top notch as everything was explained. I decided on a non bourbon chocolate so my wife could enjoy too. So I ordered a half pound of three varieties of chocolate (white, dark, milk) with almonds. The chocolate's in the case are put in their own box, as opposed to the gift boxes. I really enjoyed after returning from my trip, wife too! Easy 5 stars and will return at some point.

I stopped by Friday morning shortly after they opened. The…read moreman at the counter couldn't have been any nicer and we had a pretty lengthy conversation until more people came in. FYI they no longer have the post office services available. They had hazelnut filled chocolates half price. But I was after bourbon balls and chocolate covered pretzel rods. There is a section of reduced priced candy its where I found the chocolate covered maple cream. The aroma of chocolate when you walk in makes me feel like I gained 5 pounds (kidding mostly). A friend of mine loves black jelly beans and this is one of two places I can get just plain black jelly belly beans. You can also find UK items, pottery, post cards, books. Parking they have a private lot so you don't have to worry about parking on the street.

This is now a stop on my list whenever I am in Lexington!

All that I tried were delicious. The bourbon ball, Ruth's Mint Kentucky Colonel, the pumpkin spice. The business has been around since 1919 and is a fourth-generation KY business. I found their business brochure at the Kentucky welcome center and was intrigued immediately. The story of Ruth Booe and her candy making techniques which led to her and her friend's success. Be sure to try or get some of the original "Bourbon Ball" Invented by Ruth Booe in 1938. It consists of a creamy bourbon center with the kick of real bourbon, covered in dark chocolate, and topped with a Southern pecan. I did taste that kick when I sampled it. I purchased a variety box of make my own as well as some bourbon balls to take back home for family and friends. Got my mom some dark chocolate toffees since she loves toffee. The store is cute and welcoming. Staff is super friendly. Go check this place out and support local and long time business!

She hand makes all of her baked goods and sugary sweets out of her house and there fore doesn't have an official storefront. She usually requires a day or two advance notice to be able to fulfill most orders, but that goes with any at home bakers. In my opinion, it is worth the wait. Lollie's Sweet Treats has recently became a Kentucky Proud and Appalachian Proud member. Anytime I need cupcakes or cookies, I always give her a call. You should too. Tell her Chad Sent you.
