I do not know that it worked for them seeing as it was pretty shady business because honestly I 'm pretty hysterical. Especially around chocolate. Maybe that 's what they were doing wrong? I love cocoa. I love all forms of it. My sweet tooth extends no further than chocolate. Dark, milk, white, whatever... Give it to me. I also love local shops. Now, a local chocolatier. That 's what I 'm talking about. Yelp politely introduced me to Puddin ' River Chocolates. It 's time to set Moonstruck aside and try something new. Located off of Hwy 99 in Canby. I 'll drive 19 miles for chocolate. I drive further for it up to and including, off of a cliff for it. I 'm shameless. I only max out credit cards on two things; vet bills and chocolate. Built on Amish family tradition these recipes are handcrafted and playfully tinkered with. They boast locally sourced ingredients and inspiration. The call out Moonstruck on not only price point but tastiness. That 's a throw down right there. There is supposedly some wine and dine here but we walked into the boutique which lines the way to a massive kitchen. This works for me, I just want the damn chocolate. These chocolates are beautiful and they have some fun selections along side the mainstay truffles, caramels and barks like 'Sea Foam ' (honey comb caramel covered with chocolate) and chocolate covered gummy bears. They offer different sizes to accommodate your wallet and level of cocoa obsession. My obsession cost $46 today and I have a bundle of goodies to show for it. Erin helped us and she was a sweet as the chocolates she sells. I 'm just freaking in love and I 'll definitely freaking be back. 2 Hours Later... Yeah. These are freaking amazing. The toffee is my favorite so far followed closely by the salted caramels and sea foam . Best of all, the straight up 62% dark chocolate bar was absolutely flawless. They offer shipping on their products through their website. Sweet.

I especially appreciate the Cougar chocolate bars for Canby High School's mascot, available in milk or dark chocolate. It's good quality chocolate and wrapped in school colors. Can't go wrong with a gift from here. I'm less enthusiastic about the wine bar restaurant aspect of Pudding River. When it's slow, the wait staff is multi-tasking with chocolate making in the back--I get it; it's a small business, and they have to multi-task. When it's even half-full, the small space gets loud. When it's full, it's deafening and claustrophobic. I prefer a quick stop for tastes and shopping--this place is perfect for that.
