So much time and so little to read.... Wait a minute — strike that, reverse it.
Whether you’re looking for a seasonal-specific treat or a tasty tidbit any old time of the year, these Louisville candy shops have you covered.
Muth’s Candies
This NuLu shop has been around since the neighborhood was OldLu — Muth’s was founded in 1921, and the family’s third and fourth generations are now in charge. It’s home to the famous Modjeska — a Louisville-favorite caramel-covered marshmallow treat — but that’s not the only handmade confection you’ll find in the glass cases here. Muth’s regularly rolls out seasonal goodies along with candy shop standards, like a classic box of chocolate + malted milk balls.
Art Eatables
Candy is dandy, but liquor is quicker. The small-batch bourbon truffles on offer here pack a punch — after just a few, you might find yourself with whiskey breath. Art Eatables’ truffles feature bourbon from Old Forester, Buffalo Trace, Wild Turkey, and several other Kentucky distilleries, and make a great gift for the whiskey aficionado in your life.
The Sweet Spot Candy Shoppe & Dundee Candy
The kiddos will go running into this Highlands shop like it’s the entrance to Wonka’s factory. The Sweet Spot is as much a treat for the eyes as the tongue, with colorful features throughout the store. It’s a one-stop-shop, offering bulk candy, hard-to-find items, and gourmet sodas. Plus, in 2018, this shop purchased local candy shop Dundee Candy, which has been producing handmade treats since the 1940s.
Froggy’s Popcorn
What better snack to have by your side as you watch, “Wonka” than popcorn? Froggy’s pops an assortment of flavored corns, including birthday cake + candy cane options.
