After seeing Schimpffs on the History Channel, my husband and I came down from Chicago to see if the hype was true. We both really enjoyed watching them make the Cinnamon candy and sampling them after they were made was the added bonus. To us, it's Candy Making in it's truest form...the original way to do it...by hand. The museum... More

Go to Schimpffs several times a year. Love their red hots, but my favorite is their truffles. I eat them several times a year and have given them as gifts.

We walked there from our hotel. There were 4 "girls" and we bought a few pieces of candy. I almost didn't buy anything because I didn't think the workers were very nice and that bothered me. As we were walking back I mentioned that I didn't think the staff was friendly and everyone said they thought the same thing. I... More

I wish I could brag about it, but I really felt like we were a bother for the staff. The prices are high, and on the taste of candies purchase, it was really nothing special. I would like to see customer care come back here.

Schimpff's is awesome. They have the best red hots hands down, and they make them there. They also have chocolates, which they also make, but are kind of pricey. If you go at the right time you can watch them make candy. Very cool. Good family stop in Jeffersonville.

The candy was good, the chocolate soda was good, I expected more I guess, the workers honestly were pretty unfriendly which really turned me off, we didn't go back. I guess I thought since they work in a candy shop they would be happier!

It truly was an inviting place, we were greeted as we entered the door! We left with $40 worth of candy! Needed a BIG back for all of that! Delicious red hots made fresh in front of our eyes, toffee to die for, chocolate covered carmels that keep you reaching for more! There is amazing candy history here! Packaging from... More

A great candy store to visit for all ages. Make sure to visit during operating hours where they demonstrate how they make candy. They have the best "Red Hots" cinnamon candy.

This place has been around forever. It is pricy and not too impressive. If you've ever had See's Candies and liked it, you'll be disappointed.

I love the Schimpff family and what they have done in Downtown Jeffersonville! The candy is excellent but that is only because they put their hearts into everything. The history of candy... where could you go wrong!
