Candy magnate, Russell Stover was a chemist who revolutionized the chocolate candy industry. He was the first to create a chocolate confection that would harden when it came in contact with cold – inventing the Eskimo Pie – and founded the chocolate company that bears his name. Today, the name Russell Stover is most commonly associated with the heart-shaped box of chocolates that you have to buy for your sweetheart on Valentine’s Day every year or else face the direst of romantic consequences.
