Driving through the small town of aurora we spotted a candy factory so of course we had to stop by! I picked up some Mother's Day treats and some treats for my self as well! The smell in the shop was amazing and what a great place to pick up candy or savory or plain hazelnut products! The staff was extremely friendly and I will definitely be back for more treats! read more

I discovered this business thanks to a referral from a kind lady at Ken and June's Hazelnuts in St Paul. I'd called her searching for my favorite hazelnut cultivar, the increasingly rare Ennis. Not only did I find them here but what a place! Outstanding selection of hazelnut candie, cookies and the best of everything Oregon. Andrew has done a superb job! I highly recommend it for all your Christmas gifts for out of state friends and relatives. read more

Dark chocolate hazelnuts? Yes, please! Discovered Pacific Hazelnut Candy Factory by chance as I was driving through Aurora for an afternoon of wine tasting. The sign with their name caught my eye while driving by the very non-descript building and there was no passing by without stopping! This is a small candy shop that is filled with yummy delights! Since I'm a dark chocolate fan, I was so happy to find several offerings, the double dark chocolate dipped blueberries and dark chocolate hazelnuts immediately went into my basket! I mean, what's to even think about? Also bought some salted hazelnuts and toffee hazelnuts while I was there. In addition to the individual bags of candy and nuts, they had several different variety platters containing 5-6 types of chocolate coated fruit or different types of hazelnuts. Their prices are fantastic, so affordable! A four ounce bag is just $5 and 8 ounces $7.75. Easily half of what it would cost in a store or even at a Farmers Market. They also have lots of syrups, jams, bbq sauces, olive oil, hazelnuts that are coated in different spices, wine and toffee. I will definitely remember this store when buying hostess gifts at Christmas and will stop in any time I am in the area! It is so worth a stop! All the local wine tasting spots also had bags in their shop for purchase. Wine and dark chocolate hazelnuts or salted hazelnuts is a perfect combo. Trust me. Hazelnuts are a local Oregon product. This is a local candy factory. Local farmers and shops need our support, more now than ever. So shop local! Purchase directly from the source. Soooooo good! read more

Pacific Hazelnut has become a winter holiday shopping destination for us. East coast relatives are now asking for specific products by name, so our previous browsing sessions, choosing interesting looking products at random (or, in pre-pandemic times, making good use of their samples), have really paid off. It's slightly annoying to realize how little I get to ultimately eat from the things we buy here, but knowing we'll always find great gifts makes the drive from Portland a bit more pleasant. You'll find a nice mixture of good sized packaging that shows off what's inside, and larger gift box varieties that make it easy to feel generous when shopping for others. This store has also become a place where we bring out of town visitors - knowing that they'll find local delicacies to take back home with them. Actually, the entire town of Aurora is a great visitor destination. read more

I am heading out to visit some friends in North Carolina, so I wanted to bring them a taste of Oregon. To me, hazelnuts and marionberries epitomize Oregon. So I went online and discovered this factory just 10 minutes from my house. They've got a good selection of hazelnut products: Everything from dark chocolate, milk chocolate, savory seasoned hazelnuts, to butter pecan nuts. They've even got marionberry covered nuts, so you can get both Oregon specialties in one product. I, however, did not like those at all. I wish they had samples so you could try before you buy. That's what I was expecting. But I guess in 2022, Covid is still too much of a scare for that. I look forward to going back when that is a possibility again. For anyone looking for Oregon gifts, this is a good start. read more

Pacific Hazelnut Candy Factory - L to R: Milk chocolate hazelnuts, butter toffee hazelnuts, marionberry jam, garlic dip (just add sour sceam) - Candy Stores Near Me - Aurora, Oregon

After stopping by another business in Aurora who sells their nuts, I wanted to drop in and pick up a few things for Christmas. The store itself is small, but they have more products than I expected, with samples of everything. I snagged a sampler tray. My favorites were the chocolate coated blueberries and the dark chocolate filberts. They also had fabulous toffee. I will be back, the products are tasty and priced well. Plus it's a local business. read more

Nondescript building with ample parking. You will often see shades drawn (which I assume is to keep the candy cool) but there is an open sign. Enter into a small but great candy and confectionary shop. The store is compact but had many great options to try. Favorites were the tons of candied nuts, the sugar free confections and the local jams/syrups. Amazing gifts as well as delicious options for a fun cooking adventure (the huckleberry syrup I purchased has been used in spritzers, salad dressing, and in a bbq glaze as well as on pancakes.) read more

Under new ownership!!! The friendly lady at the front counter chatted with me for a while as I browsed their goods (and tried to casually wipe the drool from my mouth). She told me that the new owners are planning a large remodel which will also give a fun face lift to the gift shop area!!! I will be back with updated photos when that happens! What a treat to walk into this charming gift shop & have SAMPLES GALORE!!! Right off the bat as your eyes pop open, you can instantly experience their confections without the wait! YES LADIES! FREE CHOCOLATE SAMPLES!!!! I couldn't escape without purchasing one of their newest items, a 61% Cacao Extra Dark Chocolate Sour Red Cherries!!!!! I enjoyed my visit here and will be back to update my review when they do their remodel!!! (or tomorrow after I've finished this bag of treats :) ) read more

Great free samples, so much variety, reasonable prices. The ones with Rosemary stuck out as one of the more interesting varieties. Wish they had some drip coffee. While driving this stretch we just kind ran into it. read more

We were visiting the area and stopped here, and we're glad we did! We got to sample a lot of the hazelnut candies, and we bought lots of different kinds of hazelnuts! They were so good, we will be back next time we visit family here. read more

Oh my goodness. 5 stars for this small family run business. delicious chocolate covered hazelnuts. butterscotch covered hazelnuts. marionberry covered hazelnuts. and much much more. reasonably priced confections and samples galore! even sugar free candies too. Do Not, I repeat, Do Not miss the toffee!! I make my own toffee, and have never found a commercial one that compares - until I tried the toffee here. I may never make toffee again. In many ways I am glad this store is close to home. In other ways that is extremely dangerous. Candy run, anyone?? read more

It's probably a good thing I no longer live in the area (or the state for that matter). I used to find myself a pretty regular customer of the Pacific Hazelnut Candy Factory. Probably some of the best chocolate covered hazelnuts and assorted fruit I've ever tasted (in fact, I refuse to eat chocolate covered blueberries from anywhere else because they've ruined me for any others). Don't believe me? Go in and try a few :) read more
