Ruby’s Chocolates was founded by Melinda Mueller in her kitchen. Melinda had been making chocolates and sweet treats for years before officially launching her company. She would regularly make chocolate confections for family and friends at Christmas time and loved concocting new recipes in her kitchen. Anyone who tried her treats was instantly hooked. “You should do this for a living!” she was regularly told.
But Melinda was hesitant to do so because of her history with an eating disorder. In her younger years, she had been hospitalized with anorexia, so the idea being around desserts 24/7 caused a great deal of worry and hesitation. Nevertheless, God had a way of dropping her right in the middle of her biggest fear just to show her how strong she truly is.
In 2008, just before Melinda’s dear brother passed away, he professed to his sister that he wished he had done something more with his life. Melinda’s love for her brother inspired her to finally go for her dreams, leave her career in fashion and design, and open up her gourmet chocolate company. She opened up a business bank account with just $25 and went to work. Her goal was, and still is, to create chocolates that not only look divine, but taste even better.
From our corporate office based in Hamilton, Ohio, we use our combined God-given talents to offer you our very best. Our signature red chocolate "Ruby" is our personal assurance that each chocolate creation is made just for you!
