Elmer Chocolate is a U.S. confectionery manufacturer focused on seasonal chocolates. It is based in Ponchatoula, Louisiana, and traces its origins to 1855, when it began as a New Orleans pastry enterprise that evolved into a dedicated chocolatier. The company is known for Valentine's Day heart-shaped chocolate boxes and for Easter offerings such as Gold Brick Eggs and Heavenly Hash Eggs, which are part of its established holiday lineup. Serving North American retailers and celebrations, Elmer markets its products as seasonal confections tied to gift-giving and holiday traditions. In 2025, Elmer Chocolate became part of the Hoffmann Family of Companies, marking a change in ownership while continuing operations from its Ponchatoula facility.
