Rebecca Ruth Candy & Tours

I love these bourbon balls! Best I’ve had. Just the right amount of bourbon and truly decadent chocolate. And I love that they use a dark chocolate coating. So good!
So yah… Ruth and I would have been the best of friends. I love her story: pushing the boundaries of Prohibition, high-​fiving the Suffragettes, resourcing some creative marketing tactics, surviving multiple tragedies — all with an unbridled entrepreneurial spirit. And a very good recipe. It’s all adding up cuz they are doing it right over here. Atta girl, Ruthie!
I didn’t do the tour here (I just stuffed my face with chocolates). But I took a peek at the back hallway where you can see old equipment and antique items. Everyone is friendly and they offer free samples. Admittedly, my favorite store is over on Versailles. Here, the shop lady told me more about Rebecca and Ruth and the story behind their chocolates. Now that’s another saucy grandma! Hahaha. what a hoot.
Story is awesome. The product is delicious. Come here and learn all about it. I also grabbed some dark chocolate bark with almonds for the road. YUMMY!

Came here for one thing! BOURBON CHOCOLATE BALLS!!! Yes, this is Rebecca Ruth’s specialty and a must try (My friend does not like Bourbon, but loves their bourbon balls). But wait… I thought I was going to walk out with only that, but ended up spending $ 15.00 which included mini dark chocolate bars and coconut clusters. If I had more funds, I would have cleaned out the store!
Besides chocolates, Rebecca Ruth also sells candy and jewelry and unique gift items. Whenever I am in the area, I always make an effort to drop by! It’s that good!
I’ve never done the Candy Tours but will do that the next time I return.

Jessica was a great tour guide!
This place has a lot of history and is intimate! Tours are great and not too long, only about 20 mins. Very interesting facts and the antiques inside are cool to look at.
Bourbon chocolate is awesome!
Try to get a tour around 10am when they are making chocolate! Hand packaged everything!
