Why settle for giving out full-size candy bars when you could keep it local? If you’re looking to really step up your trick-or-treating game — or trick out your cabinets with some treats just for you — these local candy shops have you covered.
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.
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.
