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!

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.

I love Ruth Hunts! This has been a staple in Lexington for over 100 years and I can see why. They…read morehad so many different candies to choose from and the chocolate is absolutely divine. The best chocolate being their turtles better known as "Derbies". I brought some derbies home for myself and my family- they all loved them. I have debated ordering more from their website because they are truly the best turtles I've ever had. This store also has a lot of Lexington theme souvenirs. This is now a stop on my list whenever I am in Lexington!

Wish I could bottle the smell of this candy factory from the parking lot & share it with everyone!…read more The smell takes me back to reading the book Charlie & the Chocolate Factory. For 120 years, Anna's family passed this amazing recipe down & after working in her parents basement she now sells all over the world, even to Williams Sonoma. And now Vegas regularly. I'd rather visit the factory when in Kentucky cause they make the candies & package them freshly for you right there. Also to visit w/ Anna, she's such a wonderful passionate woman. Huge fan of the Bourbon Sea Salt Caramels mmm... perfect amount of salt to keep you wanting another piece. The Chocolate Modjeska's are what I wish I had for my s'mores since I was a lil kid! The Original Caramel Modjeska's are not only divine alone, but quarter them & the Bourbon Seat Salt on top of your sweet potatoes. Oh, heavens! Homemade, down to the marshmallow in the middle and I'll never like regular store bought marshmallows again. Also we got a recipe for the Modjeska's from the Food Network. Perfect lil gift from the heart & soul of Kentucky & for yourself & loved ones. I have been a regular since October & have gifted many people including my horse grooms cause I wanna share it w/ everyone. Mmm it's so good!

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.

The Sweetest Spot in NuLu! [Louisville KY]…read more 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
