OUR HISTORY

 

Over 100 years ago, a greek family settled in Minonk, Illinois, bringing with them a rich tradition of candy making.  As time passed, they became well known for making the area's best chocolate candy and caramel apples.  Their reputation has grown miles beyond this small Woodford County community.

 

Today, with those time-tested recipes from 1915, Minonk Chocolate Company's owners, Christie Ruestman, Cindy Meyer and Zach Meyer continue to make candy the traditional, old fashioned way - using copper kettles, marble tables and only the freshest ingredients (no preservatives added).  We promise to provide our customers with the highest quality chocolate candy and caramel apples.
