If you’re the kind of traveler who loves a good laugh, a sweet treat, and a story you can’t tell without snickering, then you need to make a stop in Uranus. That’s right — Uranus Fudge Factory & General Store, the most outrageous fudge shop in America, is waiting for you along historic Route 66 in the great state of Missouri.

And for those exploring the Midwest, you’ll also find Uranus popping up in Anderson, Indiana, and Richmond, Indiana, spreading the joy (and the fudge) to every corner of the heartland.

At Uranus, we believe road trips are meant to be fun, candy is meant to be nostalgic, and humor should be unapologetically inappropriate. Because when it comes to Route 66 candy, handmade fudge, and the ultimate funny gifts, we don’t just aim to satisfy — we aim to make you laugh so hard you nearly swerve off the highway.

A Fudge Shop Like No Other

Sure, there are plenty of fudge shops out there. But let’s be honest — only Uranus Fudge Factory can say the best fudge comes from Uranus and actually mean it.

Our fudge is made fresh daily by expert fudge packers right here in Uranus. Every creamy, chocolatey slab is poured, cut, and packed by hand with love and a pinch of mischief. Whether you like your fudge classic, nutty, swirled, or seasonal, we’ve got a flavor that’ll hit you right in the sweet tooth.

Popular flavors include Chocolate Pecan, Peanut Butter, Rocky Road, and the ever-dangerous Fudge of the Month, each with flavors so decadent we can’t even print the ingredients without blushing.

Our fudge has been featured on travel blogs, Route 66 guides, and TV shows because people can’t resist saying it out loud: “I got my fudge packed in Uranus.” And honestly, can you blame them? And 20,000+ 5-Star Reviews can’t be wrong, “the Best Fudge really does come from Uranus!”

Route 66 Candy: Nostalgia Meets Roadside Adventure

When travelers talk about Route 66 candy, they’re talking about the old-school stuff that brings back childhood memories — and Uranus delivers.

Inside the Uranus General Store, you’ll find rows of colorful bins filled with saltwater taffy, old-fashioned hard candies, and novelty sweets that disappeared from grocery shelves decades ago. The scent of chocolate, caramel, and popcorn fills the air, making it impossible to leave empty-handed.

You’ll find treats like:

    • Saltwater Taffy in more flavors than you can imagine (and a few you probably shouldn’t)
    • Homemade Brittle, hand-pulled and packed with roasted nuts
    • Chocolate-dipped everything, from pretzels to bacon
    • Retro favorites, like wax bottles, Big League Chew, and candy cigarettes

Route 66 has always been about nostalgia and the joy of the journey, and Uranus takes that to the next level. It’s part candy museum, part circus, part comedy club — all wrapped in a fudge-scented fever dream.

Our humor isn’t shy. It’s bold, unapologetic, and just a little naughty — because life’s too short to be boring.

Three Locations of Pure Fun: Missouri and Indiana

Uranus isn’t just one stop on the map — it’s a growing roadside empire dedicated to fudge, fun, and laughter.

Uranus, Missouri

The original Uranus Fudge Factory is located right on historic Route 66, just outside of Fort Leonard Wood. It’s more than just a fudge shop and a candy store — it’s an experience. From the Uranus Sideshow Museum to mini-golf and ice cream, this is the crown jewel of the Uranus universe.

Uranus, Anderson, Indiana

Our second location keeps the fun rolling through the Hoosier State, featuring the Uranus Ice Cream and Hot Dog Shop, mini-golf, and plenty of roadside charm.

Uranus, Richmond, Indiana

Our newest addition brings all the classic Uranus flair to the east side of Indiana, making it easier than ever for Midwestern travelers to grab some fudge and a good laugh without going too far.

Each location has its own flavor, but the heart of Uranus is always the same: world-famous fudge, wild humor, and welcoming weirdness.

Why People Love Stopping in Uranus

Uranus isn’t your average roadside stop. It’s a destination — one that’s been built to make people smile, snap selfies, and remember their visit forever.

You’ll meet locals and travelers who came for the fudge but stayed for the laughs. Families love the candy and mini-golf, couples love the photo ops (especially near our giant signs), and groups of friends love loading up on gifts they probably shouldn’t bring to work.

It’s fun, it’s affordable, and it’s unforgettable. In short, it’s exactly what Route 66 has always been about — celebrating the strange, the small-town, and the spectacularly silly.
