Slay Your Sweet Tooth… G ot sweets? Kentucky does! In fact, the state has so many confections that Northern Kentucky’s Sugar & Spice Trail sprang up to guide visitors from one sweet spot to another. Bite into store-made buckeyes and fudge at Newport’s Sweet Tooth . In Bellevue, mark a special occasion with a box of Opera Creams from Schneider’s Sweet Shop – also famous for ice balls made with a scoop of homemade ice cream – and return to your childhood with candy necklaces and other old-fashioned treats at Witt’s End Candy Emporium . Don’t worry, savory stops like Colonel De Gourmet Herbs & Spices in Fort Thomas will temper potential sugar comas. But if you’re determined to reach sweets nirvana, we’ve got you covered.
