not sure what they do, they just differ from the godivas and Ghiradellis - a taste all of their own.

My Dad has given them to all the woman in the familyat Christmas, for at least 40 years. With all the nieces etc. it has gotten to be a pretty large stack of chocolate boxes.

I found this thread because I was about to pull the trigger on "How do you feel about Russell Stover's Chocolate?"

Early life

Russell William Stover was born in a sod house south of Alton, Kansas, in Osborne County, Kansas, one of three children of John and Sarah Stover. His mother died when he was young and the family moved to Iowa City, Iowa, where he attended Iowa City Academy and Iowa State University where he studied chemistry. He then became a salesman in Chicago, first for a candy company, and then for a tobacco company

In 1911 Stover married Clara Mae Lewis, whom he had met at the Iowa City Academy, and they moved to a 580-acre (2.3 km2) farm in Saskatchewan, Canada, which they received as a wedding gift. On the farm, they raised growing wheat and flax, but after a year they considered the venture to have been a failure, and in 1912 they moved to Winnipeg.

Stover then re-entered the candy industry. He first went to work for a Minnesota candy company and then for the A. G. Morris Candy Company in Chicago. In 1918 the couple moved to Des Moines, where Stover worked for the Irwin Candy Company, and then they moved to Omaha, Nebraska.

Quite the credentials via their website - nice - a relatively new player in town, there. What do you like there? I remember buying haystacks (toasted coconut and chocolate) at that candy store in Independence Center - It was those and a Mr. Pibb, LOL - I just remembered that as I was thinking about R. Stvr's.

They switch it up some but the stuff is amazing. There is generally a really good Bananas Foster type offering....a coffee offering...a champagne one. They are all like little pieces of art and all really good.
