For more than 100 years, Ruth Hunt Candy Company has been serving the Bluegrass and beyond with delicious sweet treats. They are the perfect gift for the holidays, from their Woodford Reserve bourbon balls and pulled cream candy to their gift baskets and cakes.
It all began in the kitchen of Ruth Tharpe Hunt's home in Mt. Sterling, Kentucky where she served homemade treats to her bridge club. In 1921, she decided to start a small candy business. Ruth Hunt Candy Company has grown significantly since then. The stores in Mt. Sterling and Lexington ship across the United States and around the world. The original location in Mt. Sterling remains a Kentucky landmark.
