Russell Stover Candies In 1923, Mr. & Mrs. Russell Stover began a candy business in their bungalow home in Denver, Colorado eventually becoming "Russell Stover Candies". Though the Stovers are no longer here, the Russell Stover family still exists. It is made up of over 6,000 people, all dedicated to making "Only the Finest" in boxed chocolates. The story of Russell Stover Candies is one of immense growth in the last decade and a half, from a small regional candy company to the nation's largest. Iola is one of only a handful of candy kitchens in the nation. Remarkably, the same care, quality and ingredients must go into each box of candy today as it did in 1923, in Mrs. Stover's bungalow.
