A new business, Route 66 Fudge Shop in Cuba, Mo., has just introduced a new line of candy bars that will help maintain that town’s picturesque murals.
A signature line of Route 66 candy bars (see above) sell for $2 apiece and come in 12 flavors: Rocky Road, Viva Cuba Mural City Bar, Cruisin’ Nut Crunch, Classic Milk Chocolate, Drive Inn Delight, Main Street Mint, Mother Road Marble, Road Side Mocha, Travelin’ Tourist, Two Way Street Chocolate Peanut Butter Bar, White Line Fever, and Turnpike Toffee.
Proceeds from candy-bar sales go to a maintenance fund for Cuba’s amazing murals, which you can see here. If you can’t go to Cuba, you can order the candy bars online here, including box sets.
Marcia Wilson’s Route 66 Fudge Shop, on Route 66 at 705 W. Washington St. in Cuba, opened just before Christmas 2007. The business has an impressive lineup of treats, which you can peruse on its Web site here. The phone number is (573) 202-0027.
