Puddin' River Chocolates - Canby

Puddin' River Chocolates is a cottage shop, located in a neighborhood. Unbelievably, their namesake is an actual river, though a most appropriate name for a shop slinging sweets too! The smouse (s'mores mouse) is worth a visit alone, and not only just to admire its adorableness. Their marshmallow is perfection, complimented by graham, and though available in milk too, the dark chocolate keeps it from veering too sweet. They have prepackaged boxes, or you can select your own. Chocolates are $2.50 each, though I was able to nab a couple discounted Easter goodies when I visited just after that holiday. There are plenty of other treats like peanut butter cups, coconut bars, chocolate bars, cookies, toffee, even wine and cheese fondue. There are only a couple parking spaces in the driveway right out front of the shop (the former garage for the house next door), but if they filled it would be easy to park along the street, too.

Great service and staff very helpful and friendly. The smell of chocolate was to die for. Wonderful toffees and peanut brittle. Some in decorative tins for gifts.

Amazing chocolate ???? for an amazing price Quality is the key ingredient here!

Online says it closes at 5:30. Drove over 45 minutes to get chocolate and fondue and I pull up to a closed sign. Owner was mowing the lawn and didn't come to greet or say anything. Never will I drove this far again.

I had got ahold of the Fondue from Puddin River at a local grocery store but couldn't find it again. I thought it was odd that a place known as Puddin River Chocolates would make fondue, but there it is on the bottle. Canby is not that far from my home, so I set off for the store. As I was following navigation directions I was wondering where this place is. I was heading into a residential neighborhood and not a commercial park or strip mall where I expected to find them. Well, it turns out Puddin River Chocolates is really a cottage industry. While at the store. I picked up a couple of bottles of Fondue, (You must pick this up in person as it requires refrigeration). I thought, well they are Puddin River Chocolates. I should try the chocolates as well. That was a very good decision. Puddin River chocolates are on par with or superior to anything most people have tasted. Best of all these chocolates do indeed have an Oregon theme about them. Our local flavors like Marionberry and hazelnut are featured. If you are one for high quality chocolate and haven't tried Puddin River Chocolates. You need to get hold of some, even one piece will tell you what kind of quality they are.
