09.02.25 Muth's Candies - Since 1921
May A.

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! Instagram: @muths_candy Review #3913

Thank you to Muth's for participating with Yelp! We were so exited picking our caramel apples and candy.

A local staple in Louisville! Opened year round you'll find your traditional favorites and seasonal treats. Some things simply taste better because they are made by Muth's. What you'll find (besides 100+ years of history): peanut brittle, dipped Oreos, modjeskas, chocolate, jelly beans, malt balls, espresso beans, gummies, and so much more. Sugar free options also available. Service is fast with associates always behind the counter to help grab candy or ring up your purchase. Small store so be patient with fellow shoppers. If you're looking for bulk candy or gift packages, they can help! Street parking. The closest spots are metered.

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.

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!

Modjeska (Carmel covered marshmallow)

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!

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!

I am in love with Muths bourbon barrels and their bourbon turtles. But don't sleep on the modjeskas! The service from this store is always top notch. Very cute and warm ambiance in the store.

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.

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!

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.

Now, imagine the nuggets were sold by the pound, and you paid for the extra ones you didn't want. I fully accept the fact that I might be wrong, but when I sat down just outside, I found more than I'd expected/wanted, and I paid for it. Okay... maybe it was an "oopsie-doodle", it was near my birthday, so all is forgiven. What about the chocolates? I can't deny that the selection is amazing, however, where it comes to quality, I have to admit I was not blown away. That isn't to say I felt they weren't great - they were! At the same time, there are other candy stores with similar products and concepts whose products are no worse. So, what does that leave us with? Schimpff's Confectionery is a very good, old-timey candy store. However, while I can't say their ranking as #1 best candy store in America in 2025 by USA Today is undeserved. However, I personally wouldn't go too far out of my way to get some of their chocolate candies.

The Sweet Spot is less edgy (you won't find any "Fidel Castro's Havana Banana" soda here) but just as delightful for all ages - perhaps most of all for the adults who are fresh off a "Kentucky High-5" from Against the Grain down the street. Whether you're after regular packaged candy or the fancy glass-counter offerings, you'll find that the selection here is well above average. The staff is terrific and the prices really aren't bad for a specialty store like this. My favorite part is the soda cooler, which is reasonable at two bucks a bottle and contains some genuinely unexpected regional favorites. A visit to The Sweet Spot is your chance to finally try Double Cola in a glass bottle, enjoy a taste of Kansas City with some Atomic Fizz, or embrace your inner Evansvillian with some West Side Water (a.k.a. Ski). If you start regularly walking Bardstown Road, you just might find yourself visiting The Sweet Spot more than you expect. A true delight.

The storefront is the cutest with pink motif colors... pink awning, pink doors, pink signage. Inside is nostalgic. They have pre-packaged candy as well as candy by the pound. Mix & match chocolates from the Sugar Bar and choose from a large or small candy cup. I chose the small candy cup for $10 and had it filled with milk chocolate peanuts and milk chocolate raisins.

I ended up getting some chocolate dipped Oreos, sprinkled in edible glitter, for my kids, who went nuts over them. (I maybe snuck a bite too!) I love taking time to explore New Albany, to see what new-to-me shops I can discover. The New Albany Sugar Shoppe was a highlight during my recent trip across the river.
