We’ve been thinking about the generations that have passed through our doors since
1921 looking for a little bit of confectionary magic, a small dose of affordable luxury and
the traditional tastes of Kentucky’s sweets. Our philosophy, all the way back 99 years to
our beginning, is to ‘make delicious candy that we can be proud of and that makes our
customers happy and feel good!’
Since the early years when Mr. Hunt would swing by the farm to pick up the vintage
milk cans full of fresh cream, Ruth Hunt has maintained the philosophy that ingredients
matter. Today, as back then, we use real butter, real dairy cream, the finest nuts, flavorings
and quality chocolate. For many of our most loved products, we maintain the original
recipes and continue our hand-made, home-made methods! Our newest products such
as Woodford Reserve Sea Salt Caramels in Dark Chocolate, and Matcha Tea Melt-Aways,
continue the tradition of using only the finest ingredients such as Kentucky’s Woodford
Reserve® Straight Bourbon Whiskey, and Elmwood Inn Matcha Green Tea.
We are looking forward to our Centennial Celebration in 1921 with great anticipation. We
will spend this 99th year preserving the foundations of Ruth Hunt Candies and will soon
start the party of a Sweet Century!
