The Sweetest Spot in NuLu! [Louisville KY] On our last day in Louisville we stopped by this candy store before heading to the airport. There was some kind of gutter work going on in this part of the street so parking was limited. Unfortunately, when we came by for ice cream next door on our first day in Louisville the candy shop was already closed for the day. The shop is a small, family-owned business operating since 1921. Inside are displays of handmade candies, delectable treats like Old Fashion Kentucky Bourbons and Muth's Modjeskas as well as unique novelty treats like horseshoe shaped chocolates. I was the first customer and I already knew what I wanted. The chocolates were already pre-packaged, I chose a bag each of the milk peanut clusters and milk chocolate raisin clusters... they were fresh and so delicious! I also grabbed a free complimentary sticker for my collection. Needless to say none of the chocolates made it back home to Sacramento. Gone mid flight LoL!

When someone asks you if you want the double dipped dark chocolate malted milk balls, don't think twice, just say yes! So delish. Haven't been in here in a bit and had no reason to go in other than indulge in the great smells and old town interior and attentive staff. Also, you must try the dark chocolate coconut balls. If you enjoy a mounds or almond joy, these will knock your socks off. Not kidding! I had to have two on the way home....mmm, mmm, mmmmmm!! read more

Love this little candy store. What might look small is mighty on flavor. I have ordered from their website, from inside the store and every time they were able to deliver on my ask. Modjeska candy is so good. I love the chocolate covered ones as well. Try the chocolate orange peels! Delicious. Try everything...their candy is just delicious! read more

Excellent homemade candy, friendly staff, great assortment of candy. Their "Turtles" are the best ever, must try!!!

For holidays I venture to Muth's for the best candy and reasonable prices. This visit was for Christmas stocking stuffers. My wife, daughters, and son-in-law look forward to getting treats from here. In fact we sent candy to our out of town friends who love bourbon balls and Madjeskas. As the business has been here since 1921 that's a testament to their popularity and success. read more

I poped in here during a nulu festival and walked out with some sweet treats! Staff was kind and answered any questions I had, and recommended the carmel covered marshmallows which are their specialty (they have a specific name. I just cant remember it). I'd come back for more candy. read more

Best candy in the eastern United States. Period. Handmade by the 3rd generation. Stop by and get a sweet treat! read more

A stable in Louisville my granny bought her Bourbon balls for years from Muth's every Christmas. The service is always delightful. And the ambiance is perfect nestled on Market surrounded by other cute and cozy places. read more

We landed in Louisville early, drove downtown, and waiting for things to open found Muth's Candies. What an amazing gem! Stepping through the doors reminded me of candy shops that were old when I was young. The ambiance was practically screaming, "THIS CANDY WILL BE GOOD BUY SOME"! It's been here since 1921, and they are still hand making all of their candies. Massive selection from creamy sour popsicle shaped lollipops to caramel covered marshmallow, to classic chocolate selections. Perfect place to get souvenirs for kids, or to satisfy that sweet tooth for the kid in you! read more

It was good and they were sweet! They have options if you're not trying to get a ton which was nice since we had to bring it home on the flight! There was so many candy options, we wanted to try more!!! read more

Absolutely above and beyond. This is old-school at its phenomenal best. Every candy made beyond its best. So blessed to the have this in my life. read more

On a recent trip to Louisville, I stopped by to get some of these iconic candies. The modjeska was simply amazing. I had some others which I did a taste comparison with and hands down the ones from Muth's were a cut above! So good and surprisingly not cloyingly sweet. The Bourbon Balls were also outstanding. Everyone I gifted these to loved them. I picked up some brittle as well (liked the peanuts better than the peanuts and popcorn version) but were a bit too sweet for me. I got done Halloween candy for my friend's son, and a few more items for gifts. The store is unassuming and has been around for over 100 years. Charming selections and definitely worth a visit if you're in town! read more

Went here when I was a kid and returned in 2016. They were closed and saw me peering through the window and invited me and 3 friends in. We bought SO much stuff to take back to Maryland. Now I have moved to Louisville and cannot wait to place my Easter order for my grandchildren. I'm looking forward to a visit soon. Great service and the most amazing candy. read more

Muth's Candy - Candy Stores Near Me - Louisville, Kentucky

How did I go so long in my life without ever having a modjeskas?!?! Think caramel light poured over the smooshiest mallow you could think of that has a bounce but no stick. How else would I explain it? I took mine home only to finish them up too quickly and now I know that I must find a way to get more! read more

I saw Muth's on a TikTok. Perked my interest for the 100+ year business. I decided we need to check out this place. My wife entered the store and I noticed 4 ladies close behind. I hold the door for the ladies. The less than enthusiastic man waited on the other ladies first even though my wife is standing at a case wanting to choose her candy. A less than enthusiastic lady stands behind the man until all the others were waited on and left. Finally, we get waited on by the girl. We finally purchase our candy. It's good chocolate. I really liked the milk chocolate bourbon turtles. The dark chocolate is really dark chocolate. I liked it, the wife passed. The ambience was cold, uninviting. If I'm in the neighborhood I'd probably stop in but, I won't make a special trip to Muth's like I did today. read more

Yes, stop here and stock up. We have had chocolate bourbon balls all across the state when visiting distilleries. Without a doubt, Muth's bourbon balls, made with Very Old Barton, are by far THE BEST. The candy shop is right out of last century, nothing fancy and there are some artifacts along with the candy. We visit Louisville from Virginia every so often, and Muth's is always a stop. Visit near Easter and there may be a line, so many Easter candies to choose from. Their chocolate is a perfect gift or souvenir from Kentucky. Both milk and dark chocolate options, as well as not chocolate selections. Most of the time it is east to get a parking spot right out front in the NULU part of Louisville. It's an authentic experience. read more

What a cute little place! We came here during the NULU Bock Fest and loved it. As soon as you walk in there are so many yummy options to choose from! I bought a coconut chocolate egg, sour gummies and chocolate malt balls all for only $9 which I thought was great! Service was great and everyone was willing to answer any questions that we had. I will definitely be back! read more

I made a point of swinging by Muth's to try their modjeskas and bourbon balls. They have TONS of stuff so if you like anything sweet you will certainly find something you like here. The modjeskas and bourbon balls were both better than sex. This place is awesome and a must stop in Louisville. I might order some shit to be delivered to me if that is an option... read more

Stopped in Muth's while in Louisville for the weekend. Very old school inside and reminded me of the old candy shop in our hometown. They offered samples of the Modjeskas and we were in heaven. Nice treat to bring home for thanksgiving. We would come back just for this candy! read more

Muth's candies is a long time old fashioned candy store that services the popular Nulu neighborhood in Lousiville Kentucky. As the name suggests it is a candy shop that has a wide selection of goodies and treats. Mainly chocolate it appears. Me and the family stopped in here for the first time a week or so ago and all picked out and individual snack or treat. We walked away with some peanut cluster assorted chocolate box, snow caps, peanut brittle, a seasonal holiday chocolate tree and some other small candies. Everything we ate here was very good. Impersonal got the peanut cluster chocolates and they were top notch. Very high end tasting candy. The pricing here is honestly and surprisingly fair. Being in a popular neighborhood and being an authentic non chain candy store I was anticipating high prices. But to me they felt cheaper then some of the big chain candy stores I've been and they had more authentic and local candies. So win win. Overall cute shop with drool inducing goodies and great prices. Worth checking out for those with a sweet tooth or looking for nice tasty gifts for someone. read more

The staff was very nice and friendly. The chocolate is so delicious! Try the turtles which were recommended and also the milk toffee bark. I wanted to get to popcorn brittle but it was a little to much candy for just me. Next time! Definitely worth a stop if you like your sweets!! read more

So, I do not like marshmallows or marshmallow candies, but I wanted to try the Modjeskas. It was amazing! They were delicious. The original is even better than the chocolate covered. You have to try them! The bourbon balls are very good, too. The entire store has excellent candy and chocolate but definitely go and get Modjeskas. read more

Delicious treats. Bought the M candies I can't pronounce- not knowing what they were. Delicious is what they are! Yummy mix of caramel and marshmallow. The popcorn peanut brittle is so good too! Friendly service! We enjoyed looking at the pictures and history of this lovely little shop! read more

What a disappointment. I am 87 years old and have always loved Muth's I now live in Pa. but lived in Louisville over 70 years and visited your store. I have ordered a few times on line and when my daughter or I come to Louisville we always stop and bring goodies home. However this last order (last week) was not what I was use to getting. I ordered two of the half pound chocolates and was not happy with the contents. Too many hard pieces, no jelly piece (my favorite). Not enough variety of creme pieces. Have you made a drastic change in your selection? I was also friends with some of your older staff. (way old lol) read more

Louisville's oldest and finest. A great little candy shop located in nulu. The shop isn't that big but they have a really nice selection of candies and chocolates. The staff was very helpful and courteous. Stop in and grab some great confections, it's worth stopping in. Today I purchased: Orange slices Modjeskas Nonpareils Bourbon barrels read more

I have not been treated so rudely in a very long time: I was appalled. A woman here was so extremely rude, impatient, and -- I suspect -- racist. I could not believe it, especially when I saw this sign on the wall. I started out with enthusiastically telling her how interested I was in the name (it's my mom's name, and I have never seen anything with it!!!) and she was dismissive and rude. She continued to be very impatient and hostile as I selected what to purchase. Every interaction I had with her was met with very unhelpful exasperation and unkindness. When I checked out, she first didn't want me to use the self pay system, asking to see my card and my ID. She then let me use it after (it was my husband's card and he was waiting in the car with our 3 year old). I truly wonder if she treated me like this because I'm not white. read more

Muth's Candy - This poster was on the wall, apparently from a prior review. I could not disagree more. - Candy Stores Near Me - Louisville, Kentucky

A Louisville mainstay for a reason. All of the candy you could ever want. Pecan clusters, chocolate assortments, taffy, and all of the hard candy you could ask for, under one roof. I especially love their Derby chocolates and chocolate covered cherries. It's always a treat to go to Muth's! read more

My father and I were picking up some other items downtown when we walked past the delightfully decorated window dressing at Muth's. We entered to the happy memory scents of chocolate and caramel. While Muth's was going through some construction, there was also a nice amount of room in the store. My dad and I had a few good minutes of fun looking over the candy options and taking the advice of the clerks behind the counter. We walked away with some sweet treats particular to our own tastes (chocolate covered gummy bears, yum!!!!) and a few snacks for our other loved ones. read more

Best candy I've found in the city. Super friendly staff of wonderful ladies offering samples we loved the candies. As you enter is a step back in time. So we not only tasted we purchased many different treats like Peanut brittle, chocolate coffee beans ( my Favorite ), chocolate covered peanuts and chocolate covered marshmallows. This is by far a step back in time which reminds me of my Grand mother's home make sweets. A must stop for treats of many types and desires, they will make gift baskets or box your choices and they can ship any place you like. The flavors are pure, the ingredients are simple ( which to me screams home made goodness) list on each package are items we all have in our own kitchens. Ready to return. read more

Muth's Candy - Ingredients so tasty we ate the whole bag in one day!!! See empty bag. Sooo goood! - Candy Stores Near Me - Louisville, Kentucky

They have something for every chocolate lover. They have vegan chocolates and sugar free ones. Come here for Modjeskas! They are a Louiseville classic. The ones made here does not contain bourbon, you have to go to Art Edibles for those. I would recommend the dark chocolate ones because they balance the sweetness of the marshmallows and caramel. read more

Loved the candy and the people were very nice !! I will go back when I'm in town. I loved shopping in the area .

I want ALL the things here!! Muth's Candy is a darling, old fashioned sweet shop located in Nulu. I do not have much of a sweet tooth, but as soon as I come in here my mouth starts suddenly watering. They have all kinds of locally made treats, including some unique stuff that you wouldn't be able to find anywhere. They also have some gift baskets if you are needing something for a special someone! It's a perfect treat to have right after a meal at Royal's or Grind! read more

Amazing selection of candies and chocolates. Everything we bought was delicious. Highly recommend going here.

Muth's just turned 94 last week, and I can see why: It's your classic candy store with both your usual chocolate-covered favorites and incredible confections unique to Kentucky such as bourbon balls, modjeskas, and chocolate horseshoes. I recommend picking up a box of the modjeskas. The fluffy homemade marshmallow base, a special recipe, is drenched in a butter and cream caramel. Popping one into your mouth will give you the best sugary bite in the store. What's even better: those come chocolate-covered too. Everyone wins at Muth's! read more

Some of my greatest childhood memories involve Muth's candy. We attended so many Catholic church picnics and Muth's 2 layer boxed candy was always a highlight in the booths. The challenge was getting it home before it melted! My grandmother's favorite was the box of springtime pastel colored dipped pretzels. My grandparents loved Muth's, my parents do as well, and it's one of my favorites too. Stepping into this nostalgic candy shop is like going back in time. I highly recommend it. Be sure to try the caramel and marshmallow mojeskas, a local favorite. read more
