In 1855, New Orleans own Christopher Henry Miller turned his pastry chef experience into the Miller Candy Corporation. His son-in-law, Augustus Elmer, eventually joined him. And around the turn of the century, the company’s name was changed to Elmer-Miller. In 1914, Elmer’s sons signed on to what is now known as Elmer Candy Corporation. Elmer Candy soon increased its national presence by adding a wide variety of confections and snacks—some of which are still favorites today: Heavenly Hash Eggs (1923) and Gold Brick® Eggs (1936). In the early 1960s, Roy Nelson became a partner in the enterprise. In 1963, he purchased the entire company from the Elmer family and encouraged his son Allan to join the endeavor. Elmer Chocolate, now run by the third generation of Nelsons, is the second largest heart box manufacturer in the country. Easter favorites Gold Brick®, Heavenly Hash and Pecan Eggs outsell national leaders five to one along the Gulf Coast. And the Elmer Chocolate name continues to create sweet memories for new generations of candy lovers.
We are proud to be the first Organic and Fair Trade certified bean-to-bar chocolate maker in North America. We`re dedicated to making our world a better place. And we`re finding ways to do it through our passion—bringing out the best of the cocoa bean. We are all connected. We touch one another`s lives in incredible ways. And we are responsible to and for one another. From the cacao farmer in the Congo, to the truck driver in Seattle, to the chocolate lover in Philadelphia—there is a thread that runs through us all. Theo believes in celebrating those connections, in strengthening them and in finding inspiration within them—inspiration to change the world. We know that every action has a result. That the choices we make here in Seattle, Washington touch lives across the planet in real and lasting ways. That knowledge, and that responsibility, is what drives us to do things differently, to help make the world a better place. We think about every choice we make, every action we take and how it will impact our interconnected world.
Our family here started with our founders – Marine and Stephanie and their husbands too (#Teamwork). Little by little we grew into a family of 25, joining us from places all over world. And today, our home is in the sunshine state in beautiful Coral Gables, FL - just a few minutes outside of Miami. Not a bad place to call home, right? From day 1, the mission of our founders has been to make eating fruits easier. So we started digging. Did you know that when you ask U.S. consumers which snack they prefer most, fruit is the #1 choice? But in actuality, fruit is the #5 most eaten snack. In fact, 1 out of every 2 Moms in the U.S. doesn`t think her family is eating enough fruit. So what`s stopping us from eating more of the fruit we want?
