Goo Goo Cluster

As the creators of America’s first combination candy bar, the Goo Goo Cluster legacy is over 100 years strong, and counting. We provide a taste and experience of the South from the Goo Goo Chocolate Co. in downtown Nashville as well as with wholesale partnerships all across the country. The Original Goo Goo, invented in 1912 was so special because it was the first time multiple ingredients had been combined into one candy bar. The mix of roasted peanuts, caramel, nougat, and real milk chocolate was so delicious they say babies would ask for it from birth, hence the name: Goo Goo! These days the confectionery family has grown to include a Pecan and Peanut Butter classic Cluster as well as bite-sized Lil' Goos and large handmade Premium Goo Goos. From the flagship Goo Goo Chocolate Co. in Nashville, visitors can enjoy the legacy, hands-on candy making experiences, and a number of small batch chocolates.
