On this annual day to celebrate love.

Valentine's Day.

Chocolate, of course, is a favorite gift to show one's affection.

Now, that was no arm twisting required in assigning our crew to pay a visit to one of Kentucky's oldest chocolate making companies.

Rebecca Ruth Candies noted for their world famous bourbon balls.

So treat yourself to this week's Extra Sweet segment on arts and culture we call Tapestry.

Well, Rebecca Rose Candies is a family owned chocolate shop that started in 1919.

So we're the oldest continuously operated family confectionery in the state and currently in our 105th year as a family business.

I was born into the business.

My grandmother, Ruth, started the business with her friend Rebecca in 1919, which is a year before women got the right to vote.

So they were definitely women pioneers.

As a third generation family member, I started in about fifth grade, sweeping and mopping the floors and then eventually was able to work my way up.

My daughter has joined the business and she's the fourth generation and she's currently the general manager, So she gets more of the stress and I get the chill a little bit.

So today we saw milk chocolate caramels being made.

So we took those in the copper kettle like you saw there, a butter caramel.

So you saw the butter floating in the in the kettle.

Then we pour that out into trays and then we cut it into pieces and run it down the roping line to cover it in chocolate.

And then in the decorating section, we decorate that with sea salt.

Here at Rebecca's candies, we make over 100 different things.

Some are seasonal all summer, all the time.

We make absolutely just about everything you can imagine.

But we're most known for inventing the bourbon ball.

For anybody who doesn't know what a bourbon ball is, it's a confection that was invented by my grandmother, Ruth, in 1938.

It's a cream centered bourbon confection dipped in dark chocolate.

It's always nice to be in a business where everybody's happy.

All of our customers come in and they're happy, and when they leave, they're even happier.

So as a business model, it's really great to be surrounded by happy people.
