Behind-the-Scenes Experiences
These confectioners and cafes are included individually below, and in a tidy group here for your convenience.

Goo Goo Chocolate Co.
@amyisgoingplaces
Goo Goo Clusters hold the claim to fame of being America's first combination candy bar, incorporating marshmallow nougat, roasted peanuts, creamy caramel, and milk chocolate into one confection - a novel ideal in 1912!
Creator Howell Campbell struggled with a name, finally deciding on Goo Goo Clusters - not for the gooey consistency of the center, but because of his son's first "words." This gave way to the company's first (and very successful) slogan: "Goo Goo! It’s so good, people will ask for it from birth.”
For more than 110 years, Goo Goo Clusters have remained almost unchanged except for modernization of production facilities. Grab a few of these Tennessee originals to see what all the fuss is about.
Add to the fun by participating in the Goo Goo Hands On Experience! You'll learn history of chocolate and the famous Goo Goo Cluster, have a tasting of Goo Goo confections, create your own chocolate bar, and get a signature apron as a take-home souvenir of your experience.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Amy Is Going Places
Available for hire
US native. Former resident of Romania. Current solo female globe trotter.
I've ventured to more than a dozen countries across four continents as part of group tours, volunteer work, solo travel, studying abroad, and teaching internationally. I lived for over a year in Romania, many years in Tennessee, and several months in England.
My travel style is slow, spontaneous, and - shall we say - richly flavorful. I prefer to stay longer lengths in places instead of having a whirlwind sightseeing venture. I'll skip the chain restaurants for a hole-in-the-wall café any day of the week. I prefer a loose itinerary and remain open to what each day brings.
My favorite things to do and see as I travel are...
- EAT -
Try whatever is local. Order the special of the day. Talk with the restaurant staff.
- WALK -
It encourages me to slow down, notice, and get a feel for community.
- HIKE -
I'm a lazy hiker. By "hike," I mean a few hours at a slow pace.
- MUSEUMS -
Spend an afternoon. Read the descriptions on exhibits. Talk with the docents. Buy something in the giftshop.
- CHURCHES -
I'm fascinated by the various ways people have worshipped the God of the Bible over centuries and across borders. Many older churches are also museums or tourist-friendly spaces. Some additionally hold regular liturgical services.
- CASTLES -
Castles, fortresses, palaces, big ol' houses: these places transport me back in time. I imagine the people who built, lived in, and defended them. What would they think of how we now live?
