We enjoyed talking with Larry Kezele and Tobby Moore, two of the owners of historic, marvelous Ruth Hunt Candies, founded in 1921 by Ruth Tharpe Hunt. The present owners continue Ruth Hunt’s commitment to high quality ingredients and splendid flavors, and continue many of the historic candies that made Ruth Hunt Candies famous: pulled cream candy, for example.
