Although Easter is a month away my wife had a desire for some double chocolate malt balls and some other tasty chocolate. So I made the trek to Muth's to satisfy our craving for specialty chocolate at an institution in Louisville for more than a 100 years. Compared to Schimpff's it's more reasonably priced but at the same time excellent chocolate. Oh, by the way the Easter candy is already out. I will have to go back closer to Easter.

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.

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!

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!

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!

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.

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!

I remember as a kid always getting Easter baskets with candy from a place called Muth's. I would always hear the stories from my mom how her family would go visit and stock up. This place is nearing the century mark, if it hasn't already. Thankfully, I have been able to make visits of my own to check it out, and I am so glad to see that it seems like it was as when my mom would speak of it. Muth's is a local legend, which has with stood the test of time. I love the sign they have out front- letting people know this is the OG chocolate slinger around town. It was even nice to see on my last visit, seeing a foodie tour coming in and learning about it- I even learned a few things myself. I would say if you have never been, my mom could show you the ropes- as on the last visit it warmed my heart to see her acting like what I presume she would have as a kid- grabbing a carboard box, going behind the counters, and filling up on whatever she pleased. So yes, this place is a little different- you actually do go behind the counters and for the most part, you help yourself. They specialize in chocolate and modjesksas (which you will see are popular in the louisville area)- a caramel and marshmellow treat. However, they do have other candies like gummies and jellies- and even a few third party treats as well. Needless to say, its like a kids dream come true- and a great place for boomers to bring back memories of the "good ol days". Whenever I am in town, I do my best to make a visit here (the hours are on the shorter side so make sure you check them before you pay a visit) and try to stock up on the goods. Even if you don't buy anything, it is always worth a visit if you are in downtown louisville- lots of history here for sure. They do offer online ordering now as well, which comes through in the clutch especially around Easter and St Nicks time. Man, just writing this review makes me want to drive up there in the cold and visit! If you are a local and haven't been, you need to check it out. If you are visiting, you need to check it out- not to be missed!

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!
