Chocolate Bourbon Balls - We stopped by to see what kind of candy they had and stumbled upon a huge piece of Kentucky history. There was so much information about this lady and her family that it was very interesting. They offer tours, however we didn't have time.
We purchased some chocolates and they were delicious! The chocolate caramels are the best! The Kentucky mint was also good as well as the bourbon balls. We plan on going back by on our way home this weekend!

Interesting tour! - My husband and I visited Rebecca Ruth chocolates for the tour and experience and found it to be very interesting. We especially enjoyed learning the history behind the company, but most of all we enjoyed the free sample at the end of the tour!

Highly Recommend - Great tour from a small working factory! The guide was friendly and informative. The workers were not distracted by the tour group. We saw most facets of production and had a sample to eat.

Fun Short Tour - We have enjoyed eating Rebecca Ruth candy many times when we visit KY. We decided to take a tour. The tour is quaint and you learn about the history of the owners. It is a short 15 minute tour and we received a piece of candy at the end. Nice for all ages.

It was very interesting, educational and tasty!! The staff was knowledgeable and friendly! - Go in the tour earlier in the day while the candy making is still going on! Don’t go when you are hungry The candy selection is wonderful hard to make choices!

Nice tour… enjoyed the history - The shop was adorable and the factor was a step back in time. I enjoyed hearing the history of the factory and founder. Husband enjoyed the bourbon balls… and I grabbed a small box of assorted chocolates for the road.

Delightful stop on a trip - The tour guide,Liz, was a delight. They had a very quick wit and told the history of the place with interesting information and humor. Candy facility is small but adorable and worth the stop.
