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.

Our Heritage We`ve come a long way since 1926. But we still hold fast to our Belgian roots. In keeping with Belgian tradition, our founder Joseph Draps was a master chocolatier who developed a unique formula for rich chocolate with unparalleled smoothness and shell-molded designs. In 1926, Draps opened his first Godiva Chocolatier shop on Boulevard Leopold II in Brussels. His confections were met with instant acclaim, as were his standards for Godiva which remain in place today: quality ingredients, elegant styling, innovative selection, and beautiful packaging. Today, Godiva is about the ultimate chocolate experience. From mouth-watering truffles and pralines to an indulgent ice cream or a rich biscuit, romanced by the warmth of our Boutique staff, we look to inspire passion for our brand around the world.
