Still a fan, 3 years later, after my first review of the product of this business. So apparently a coworker of mine was selling these bars for $1 to raise money for a high school lacrosse team. I decided to get $5 in these bars and I actually gave away like three of them. I never had a chance to try the blue wrapper one (no one is probably going to know what I am writing about because there could be several varieties with blue wrappers); however, I did try the brown wrapper (in fact, both of the ones I was left with were the... read more

Walking into this store you will be greeted with the most heavenly chocolaty scent. It's super nice each time. Also, they have a sample section and the items are delectable. Each time I've visited, I was greeted each time. The employees are pleasant and the item selection is very unique.

I have always loved the chocolate covered grapes and chocolate covered potato chips at Old Kentucky Chocolates, but just recently I got to appreciate this business in a different way. I was providing a special dessert for a family wedding and was amazed at the customer service at OKC. The special chocolate covered strawberries they made for this event were beautiful and tasted heavenly!! They were so good to work with me every step of the way listening to my ideas and helping me select the perfect treat for such a special da... read more

We "forced ourselves " to stop at Kentucky chocolates on a lazy Sunday afternoon. What a spread! There were beautiful boxes of candy (from sampler to hefty), as well as assorted seasonal molds (like Easter bunnies, etc.) & other types of candy. What makes this place so special is that you are allowed an unlimited amount of samples! The variety is plentiful. The cashier did not even give me "the hairy eyeball" when I kept returning to the samples; I must have tried just about every single type! We left with a huge assortment ... read more

Love this shop - the very best place to get bourbon balls and derby mints. Love that they have mini gift boxes (4 chocolates per box) which are so perfect for party favors, corporate gifts, stocking stuffers, etc. And their prices are so reasonable! Plus, the chocolates are really delicious. This is my favorite place to pick up a Kentucky-themed gift for family and friends when I am traveling out of town and the staff are always nice. Definitely come here over the new location in Hamburg which is more limited.

I love this place! I'm a chocoholic and I can always get my fix here. The stores have been re-organized due to the recent change in ownership. I've always loved it but honestly it's even better now. Same great candies just more visible and accessible. I do most of my shopping at the Tate's Creek location and the ladies there all know me and are just great! They've helped me when I needed custom items. It's an icon in our community and I hope it's around for many years to come. Now that the new location in Hamburg has... read more

The best chocolates ever! I discovered Old KY chocolates while on business about 14yrs ago. I continue to stop by and pick things up or I have them shipped home to St. Louis. The bourbon cherries are the absolute BOMB. Oh, my goodness. I was given my first one on a tour 14yrs ago and I was set. I must have bourbon cherries. I began flying home with boxes loaded in my suitcase for friends at work who also discovered them. My folks would place an order with me prior to holidays. One of my trips included 22boxes of bourbon ... read more

We went in because their website promoted a tour but they don't do those at the time posted. Minor disappointment. But just in the door they have lots of samples. Oh my the candies here are awesome. We bought crepe brûlée balls, chocolate toffee and much more for ourselves and as gifts. Too many decadent choices to make in this place. Your kids will go nuts

WE found this when our daughter was first scouting colleges, but now this is a must stop when we visit Lexington. Love that every time I stop in, I find something new, I haven't seen or tasted! Best derby mints and dark chocolate salted caramels to touch my tounge!
