Fall has a way of making its arrival known. Cooler mornings. Changing leaves. And at Old Kentucky Chocolates, the return of Pumpkin Spice Truffles. This seasonal favorite pairs chocolate with the warm pumpkin spice flavors everyone waits all year to enjoy. Made right here in Kentucky, each truffle brings a taste of fall to the chocolate case and gives pumpkin spice lovers something new to add to their favorites. But Pumpkin Spice Truffles are only the beginning. Fall brings a full lineup of favorites to Old Kentucky Chocolates. Alongside Pumpkin Spice Truffles, you’ll find caramel apples, assorted truffles, caramels, chocolate-covered treats, and the Kentucky classics that stay in the chocolate case all year long. There’s plenty to choose from, whether you have a seasonal favorite in mind or want to build a box with a little bit of everything. Then comes the fun part: deciding where to bring them. Pack something sweet for a tailgate, show up to a Halloween party with a box to share, bring a hostess gift to a fall dinner, or send a taste of Kentucky to someone farther away. And for the weekends with nowhere to be? Keeping a few favorites at home works just as well. Old Kentucky Chocolates has been handcrafting chocolates in Lexington since 1964, with seasonal favorites joining the traditions customers return for year after year. Visit one of our Lexington locations or shop online to find your fall favorites while they’re here.

Fresh cream and pure sugar, carefully caramelized in copper kettles. Velvety ganache enrobed in a distinctly crisp chocolate shell. Maraschino cherries aged in 100% Kentucky bourbon. Every piece in an Old Kentucky Chocolates box starts with real ingredients, hand-decorated and boxed by hand, with care.
There's a particular kind of Kentucky summer afternoon — screen door swinging, ice melting in your glass, the whole world has slowed down. Pool days that stretch into an evening on the porch where the fireflies are out before anyone's ready to go inside. The moments that call for something fresh, handcrafted, and genuinely worth reaching for.
Some places are just built for certain things. Kentucky has the bourbon, the bluegrass, and the thoroughbreds. And right here in Lexington, Old Kentucky Chocolates has been handcrafting small-batch gourmet chocolates since 1964.
A box of Old Kentucky Chocolates brings a smile to everyone’s face. That's exactly why Don and Pam Hurt founded Old Kentucky Chocolates right here in Lexington, Kentucky, in 1964. More than 60 years later, our family is still creating your beloved gourmet chocolates. What started with Bourbon Chocolates, Bourbon Cherries, and Old Fashioned Pulled Creams has grown into an entire collection of small-batch, handcrafted chocolates — truffles, Fleur de Sel sea salt caramels, chocolate-covered strawberries, and so much more. But our mission has never changed: bring you the best. Every caramel is handcrafted in copper kettles. Every piece is enrobed in high-quality chocolate that has been perfectly tempered. Small batches mean every box that leaves our Lexington kitchen meets the same standard it did in 1964. It also means the family members leading Old Kentucky Chocolates today, grew up with admiration and respect for the craft. Julia, Bill, Will, and Katie — the next generation of the Hurt family — are leading the five Lexington locations with a dedication to their loyal customers and are committed to continuing to bring joy to Lexington locals and travelers alike. This isn't just a business. It's home. Whether you're searching for the perfect gift or treating yourself to something worth savoring, this is chocolate made with high-quality ingredients, true craftsmanship, and genuine Kentucky roots. Stop by one of our five Lexington locations or shop online today.
