Muth's Candies

The overview

Modjeskas made by hand since 1921

Muth's Candies has hand-made chocolates in Louisville's NuLu since 1921, run today by the third and fourth generations of the founding family. It's famous for Kentucky classics — bourbon balls and Modjeskas, the caramel-wrapped marshmallows named for a 19th-century actress.

Everything is still made by hand in small batches at the Market Street shop, making Muth's a genuine century-old confectioner and a Louisville sweet-tooth landmark.

A signal you can check.

This is a dated award record, published by The Centurion Awards after Muth's Candies cleared the 2025 evaluation for its market and category. It was not bought, voted on, or sponsored — the criteria are public, only winners are published, and an award that stops holding up is revoked, not quietly removed. Awards run one calendar year and renew only if the business clears the bar again. For everything else — hours, bookings, live reviews — go straight to the business itself.
