Rebecca Ruth Candy Store & Museum

Watering mouths and wide eyes admire the assortment of gourmet candies under the glass countertop at Rebecca Ruth Candy Factory. Sweets lovers may be tempted by Bourbon caramels, chocolate covered cherries, peanut brittle, vanilla crèmes, Kentucky Irish coffee bonbons or pulled cream candy. But it's a pecan-topped chocolate ball with a punch of Bourbon (Bourbon Ball) in the center that has cemented this humble candy factory as a part of Kentucky's history. Tours are given Monday - Saturday, costing $5 per person and ending with a sampling of candy.
