A caramel-dipped marshmallow confection named for the 19th-century Polish actress Helena Modjeska, made by hand at Muth's Candies in Louisville since 1921.
Modjeskas were created by an early 20th-century Louisville confectioner inspired by a performance of Polish-American actress Helena Modjeska at the Macauley's Theatre. The confection combines a soft homemade marshmallow centre dipped in a buttery caramel coating, a Louisville-only candy with a hundred-year history. Muth's Candies on East Market Street has produced modjeskas by hand since 1921, the family-owned confectioner now in its fourth generation of operation. Other Louisville candy makers including Bauer's and Schimpff's also produced the modjeska in their day; Muth's is the longest-running.
