Had the pleasure of stopping by this factory during our day trip in Eureka Springs. It's a one-stop shop for those visiting from out of state. As it has merchandise, t-shirts, candy and sweets galore. From fudge, to candied nuts, and jaw breakers, there's something for everyone. My favorite were the candied pecans. It's nice because they have a large selection of sweets to choose from. The employees were very friendly too. The store is big and quaint. I strongly recommend coming to support this business. read more

my husband and I drove up from Springdale Arkansas to Eureka Springs. We bought chewy praline and another item. I'm commenting on the chewy praline. It didn't taste like anything just kinda like brown sugar. Definitely not like it used to be. read more

My sight led me to fudge, but my smell guided me to their candied almonds, pecans & cashews! All were satisfying to my sweet tooth! Great and patient service. read more

We have come here often over the years when visiting Eureka Springs. The fudge is amazing and the other candies made are really yummy too. They also sell souvenir T-shirt and sweatshirts. Check them out. read more

Two Dumb Dames Fudge Factory - a man and two children - Candy Stores Near Me - Eureka Springs, Arkansas

I hate to say it, but this place wasn't very good. All of the fudge tasted the same. The dark fudge was overly sweet and didn't have that rich flavor you associate with dark cocoa. The packaged candy wasn't very good. I tried the mini gummy bears and they had a strange taste to them-odd flavors. I'd probably try a different shop next time. read more

Fudge was fantastic, loved the cherry amaretto! Definitely somewhere to stop when you're in Eureka.

Went in this past week on vacation and was impressed. The fudge selection was vast. I got the dark chocolate espresso and the dark chocolate sea salt caramel. Both were incredible and the level of sweetness was dialed in perfectly in my opinion. There were a ton of cute shirt designs to choose from and they are Comfort Colors brand so they feel high quality compared to some other tourist trap shirt shops here. The staff were very graceful managing what seemed to me like a big rush of people. There were at least 12 people in their picking things out and asking for samples but they were handling it all well. read more

Don't expect to find Willy Wonka's factory when you walk through the door. As a matter of fact, I didn't see a single Oompa Loompa or have anybody sing a song to me. This place calls itself a "Fudge Factory" but I've swiped more fudge out of my children's Christmas stockings. Yeah, I know, I'm the Grinch. While they do have a small section of chocolate treats, the candy seems to be a way to sell t-shirts. As someone who dashes into every fudge shop they can find, you expect certain things. For example, if the shop has a type of fudge that is new or you think sounds interesting, it is pretty common for the proprietors to offer samples. I watched three different groups of people ask about certain fudges and not once was there an offer for a sample. The girls behind the counter seemed to have a go-ahead-and-buy-it-you-might-like-it attitude. I would be willing to bet they would snag a shirt for you to try on in a heartbeat. If you want a dab of fudge, then this place is fine. If you want a real fudge factory experience, then move on down the road. read more

Two Dumb Dames Fudge Factory - a sign for fudge factory - Candy Stores Near Me - Eureka Springs, Arkansas

Fun little fudge shop downtown! We got a couple of their chocolate "bombs" - one peanut butter and one snickers. Both very good!

He said "No wifey, don't open up a fudge shop. Our daughter is better off doing something else. And so are you. A store like that would never work. Oh, you silly dumb dames." HA! Or so the story goes. About 5 generations later, I think they've proved to be more than successful in their fudge business. The story renders the name a bit less jarring now. The fudge is good. The service is friendly. They offer samples (the other fudge spot up the road will NOT). Try the chocolate covered orange too! yummy! And they have reachable candies for the little ones (for better or for worse! haha). I really enjoyed the chocolate pecan fudge and the caramel vanilla pecan fudge. I can't give it 5 stars since I'm loyal to Gatlinburg's fudge. But hey, this is my next fudge love. read more

Fun whimsical shop in downtown. Lots of choices for fudge and other sweet treats and fun clothing or souvenirs to pick up. They have an excellent location in the heart of down town and worth popping into. read more

a great little shop that has a variety of fudge and candy for Holidays & Special Occasions or just anytime you need to satisfy your sweet tooth. Fudge, saltwater taffy, jawbreakers, all kinds of candy goodness! its family owned and operated and has been in business in Eureka Springs Arkansas since 1980, they use family recipes, and you can sure taste the difference.. a must stop if your ever in Eureka Springs, I know I will be returning read more

My husband and I first visited this charming fudge shop on our honeymoon 21 years ago. We have been many times since. The fudge is consistently delicious (our personal fave is the cappuccino flavor), and the shop has done a nice job of keeping all the traditional items yet adding new items. I rated it four instead of five stars because the service and atmosphere of the store in general just doesn't have the friendly warmth it once had, but younger generations are now running the shop, and I understand times change :( read more

You sold my daughter stale dried out fudge yesterday. Gray and dried out on the top. With a business name like that who would be surprised. Awful, disgusting fudge like stuff:( read more

Some of the best fudge ever. We grabbed a few pieces to try and the next day made another trip to get some more. Oh so good. Thank you all read more

Good selection of fudge and candy but the fudge and taffy are disgusting. You can buy better tasting stuff at the grocery store. The service was snobby and rude. I wouldn't come here again and I wouldn't recommend this place to anyone. read more

This is a cute little shop that had a nice selection of homemade fudge, various chocolate candies and other various, candies that were made elsewhere. We enjoyed our fudge -- tiger butter for me (yummmy), and milk chocolate pecan for BF (WAY too sweet in my opinion but he liked it). Picked up a few caramels (butter rum and sea salt). Loved the sea salt! Enjoyed the salt water taffy too. We would come here again. read more

Wow and wow a fat kids dream!! Fresh and abundant fudge and other chocolate items. Also diabetic chocolate too.

Great little ship, with lots of different sweets other than fudge. The ice creams are SUPER SUPER sweet. I like ice cream, but the sugar level was like ice cream dipped in sugar, covered in fudge, dipped in sugar again, then injected with concentrated sugar molecules. I could hardly finish mine. read more

Omg so good! Must try if you are in town! Got the butterfinger fudge, the cream cheese fudge, and the chocolate cherry bomb something and they were all delicious! read more

The service was snobby and condescending until she realized we were spending money in her store. Then she became happy and welcoming. The fudge is good as always. We tried the pumpkin cheesecake cup and peanut butter cups. They were OK but not worth $3.50. read more

Great fudge. Warning. Avoid their sugar free if you are prone to "intestinal" disorders, if you know what I mean. it had great taste but horrible texture. Still, shop gets a great rating. read more

Super friendly mom and pop (more like mom and kid) environment. Repeat customer here....fudge and sweet selection is great, for a small store - conveniently located. Didn't experience any of the attitude concerns mentioned in negative reviews. Humble store, clean and above avg prices - all reasonable. read more

It was just OK... expensive and the fudge was not incredible unfortunately..

The salt water taffy is bad. Unfortunately, after eating Kilwins salt water taffy in MI, I was very disappointed in the Two Dumb Dames product. I ate one piece then tried a second which I couldn't make myself finish and the bag went in the garbage. My husband also bought a dark chocolate carmel which he also panned. read more

This a stop you must make if in historic downtown Eureka Springs. I came across it last spring and it has stuck with me since then. They have a great variety of fudge and fun treats, along with souvenir clothing and trinkets. The best fudge choice, in my opinion, is the dreamy way. It's a swirl of chocolate fudge with a layer of caramel - holy yummy!! It was my first stop when I came back this fall. Worth every penny. read more

We went to Eureka Springs, Arkansas this weekend for a mini vacation. There are a few fudge shops in downtown Eureka Springs, but I had heard to go to Two Dumb Dames. I am so glad I did! The very best fudge in the entire world!!! I got home yesterday and this morning I was on their website ordering some more. Love it!! It just melts in your mouth and is yummy goodness!!!!! read more

I have never been in a shop and felt so disrespected in my life. The two younger girls working there when I visited were so extremely rude my whole family noticed. My mom even ended up telling one of the girls she should smile at the customers in the store as it's rude to give dirty looks to people buying merchandise! Come to this shop if you want to be completely offended by the time you leave!!! read more

I cannot imagine anyone not enjoying this place and its goodies!!! I always stop in when I visit and stock up. It's one of the first online visits at Christmas. And, like today, I just gotta have some.... The online service is incredibly good...almost as good as the candy. They call if they have questions and it arrives PROMPTLY. I was stunned that it came so soon. You can count on this place for last minute gifts. The sugar free is great and the dark chocolate is delicious. My last trip favorite: Dark chocolate almond bark with sea salt. Exquisite! read more

From Fudge to Jawbreakers, Two Dumb Dames have just about any candy you could ask for. Anytime I am in Eureka Springs I get the English toffee, the toffee is covered in chocolate which is not too sweet and rolled in chopped pecans. Toffee is my favorite candy of all time and Two Dumb Dames have perfected toffee making. Their Divinity is AMAZING, it's always fresh and soft, it just melts in your mouth. Divinity is one thing I can't describe except by calling it what I consider to be ambrosia in a semi-solid form! All of their candy is fresh, with the exception of some of the hard candies and pre-packaged goods. I have no complaints about the store, it's never *too* busy despite the tourists! Lastly... I must mention their fudge... oh their fudge. If I were Rachael Ray I would be shouting "YUM-O!" right now. So many flavors and so little space in my tummy... each piece I've tried I thought was delicious. If I didn't know better... this place would be my gateway to Diabetes because I would live here. Speaking of Diabetes... they have sugar-free options that are delicious as well! Trust me, you won't regret taking a quick trip to Two Dumb Dames! :) read more

Very very very terrible attitudes of the two young blonde girls who were working there. We didn't get so much as "a hey how ya doin?" It was very obvious from the the moment we walked in that our business was unwanted. And even more obvious when one of the girls scoffed as another couple walked in while we were checking out. We walked back by as they were closing and one of the girls who was being picked up by her mom or something gave us the dirtiest look I've ever seen. We come to Eureka Springs often and I've never had service like this from anywhere in town. I am 100% sure that we are never going back to their store, regardless of how good their fudge is. (It's really not that good anyways.) I highly recommend going to The Nut House instead of this place because they actually act like they want you to be there. These girls acted like we were a big inconvenience to them instead of being glad they had customers. 0/100 stars. read more
