The Goo Goo Cluster is a roundish mound of rich caramel, marshmallow nougat, and fresh roasted peanuts, all covered in milk chocolate.

Here at the experiential retail store, guests can take part in a fun, hands-on class to get "A Taste of Goo Goo". The experience includes: - Tasting + Insider look at the history of Nashville's official candy bar - Hands-on candy making - Classic clusters + take home apron Please note: Children under the age of 12 must be accompanied by an adult.

Awesome experience

5.00The experience was very fun! We very much enjoyed learning some of the history of the GOO GOO candy. Making our own cluster was amazing! The only thing I would suggest doing differently is including all four varieties in the tasting in the beginning, especially since chocolate tasting is mentioned in the description of the class. The original is of course a favorite but we would have loved to have a small sample of all four. Otherwise, an awesome class with an awesome host and hostess!
Chocolate and Nashville History, a great combination.

5.00You get a history of Goo Goo and a really fun candy making experience. Site is smaller than we realized, so you aren’t really walking as much as we anticipated. Your personalized 1/4 lb chocolate, a cute apron, and other chocolate samples included in your experience as well as coupons for a store discount at the end.
Rayna provided a wonderful experience. it was a lot of fun.
