Soft & Sweet & Salty: Cary's of Oregon

Southern Oregon Artisan Candies: Oh, my! Do we ever love our sweets here at White Water Warehouse! A couple years ago our owner, Joy Henkle, happened to be on a WWW river trip with about 20 guests on southern Oregon's beautiful Rogue River. The group had stopped for a wonderful riverside picnic lunch. Along the shoreline drifts a raft carrying two smiling faces. Arms extended, the two folks offered Joy and WWW's clients a taste of something uber-incredible. That treat was a soft toffee "finger" made by Cary's of Oregon. It was dreamland from the first incredible bite. Not too sweet--in fact, the discerning palate can taste the tiniest amount of salt from the salt butter, which provides a good counterpoint for the sweetness.

Cary's of Oregon makes its toffee creations daily, with much of the candy-making still done by hand. Ingredients are top quality (you can taste the difference), including creamery butter and superb Guittard chocolate. Wild creations like Chai Tea, Mango Tea, and Trail Toffee (chunks of plain toffee mixed with toasted almonds, dried cranberries, and raisins) satisfy even the most hard to please candyholics.

Located in the Rogue Valley in southern Oregon, Cary's of Oregon has an observation area at their factory. After you watch the soft/sweet/salty goodness being made, the toffee will taste even better! The location is: 413 Union Ave, Grants Pass OR. Store hours are: M-F 9 a.m. - 5 p.m. Saturday 10 a.m. - 2 p.m.
