What a gem! We tried the maple Walnut fudge, turtle fudge, crème brûlée fudge, and strawberry fudge. Our favorite was the maple walnut -- it was an excellent recommendation by the lovely woman assisting us! Our daughter loved the strawberry fudge. This shop offers so many more flavors of fudge and other yummy truffles and chocolates. They also sell every kind of candy you can imagine, including old school candy and novelty candy (think scorpion lollipops LOL). Great shop to stop by while visiting Payson. Excellent and kind service. We will absolutely be back again when we visit. read more

Lemon pie gelato. Need I say more? Like the best lemon pie you've ever had, but in the creamiest gelato form. There nothing better in Payson. The rocky road truffle was also an entirely magnificent experience. The friendliest service an cutest decor. What a gem! read more

This is such a cute little fudge shop! It smelled amazing when we walked in and had such an inviting atmosphere. The fudge looked delicious, and there was a great variety of chocolates and old-school candies. We picked up some Cow Tales and a couple of candy bars. Just a heads-up -- we were accidentally overcharged by about $7.25. Our total should've been around $6.50, but it rang up as $13.75. Thankfully, the woman working was very nice, quickly fixed the issue, and gave me the difference back in cash. She mentioned there's a known issue with their tablet system. It almost seemed like she knew what I came back for. Overall, a sweet little shop worth visiting -- just double-check your total when checking out! read more

My son and I stopped in here and were greeted by the most charming adorable little elderly lady named Linda! Man what a gem she is! The shop is full of nostalgia and charm. The truffles are incredibly creamy and melt in your mouth, I can taste the butter in the fudge, vanilla and cinnamon in the nuts! Everything is made with love and care, 10/10 and we will surely be back again! read more

My wife and I drove up to Payson today to escape the additional billion people in the Phoenix Metro area due to the WM Open and the Super Bowl. We stopped into this little sweet shop and OMG - what an amazing, charming little shop! They're located right on 87 in the heart of Payson. It smells amazing inside its chock full of candy, old time candies, soda and sweets. There's fresh gelato, homemade baked goods and an entire case of truffles with more flavors than you'd ever know what to do with. Not afraid to admit we spent more here than we did in the spot we ate lunch down the road. I went with this gigantic peanut butter cookie about the size of an appetizer plate and a bunch of truffles - coconut, cappuccino, key lime, caramel sea salt. Customer service is amazzzzing and the two women inside of the shop are so friendly and helpful! I can quickly see this becoming a regular stop at our trips up the 87! Highly recommended! read more

Very cool store with a bunch of homemade treats! Definitely recommend the fudge and coffee!

I stopped here on a day trip for work. The shop has a bunch of cool items including old fashioned candy, gelato, candies nuts, truffle, huge fresh baked cookies and gifts. For those of you that like pickles, they even have pickle pops. They have boxes of 6 or 9 for the truffles. I got cappuccino, German chocolate, funfetti, Irish cream, amaretto, rocky road. I took one bite the German chocolate flavor and it was so rich and good. The cookie was the last one they had and was still warm and gooey. It was a Reese's peanut butter cup cookie and it's delectable. I highly recommend this place for a "treat yourself" type experience. read more

Whenever I'm passing through small towns, I love stopping at local shops like this. I'm surprised that this was my first visit here considering how often I drive to Payson. Sweet Country Charm sells all sorts of gifts that are mostly made by local artists. But what made me stop in were two things - coffee and fudge. They have a large variety of fudge here. Peanut Butter, Rocky Road, and Mint Chocolate are just some of the flavors that they have on hand. If fudge isn't your thing, they have plenty of other sweets and chocolates in their display case that you can purchase. Good coffee, delicious fudge, and friendly customer service made for a nice quick stop on my recent road trip. read more

Adorable little sweets shop in Payson They have all sorts of fun candy, homemade fudge, gelato, and amazing chocolate truffles! I brought 3 home and although they carry a price tag (4.99 ea!) they are absolutely worth it! I had the coconut haystack one, which was like a sophisticated Mounds bar, my husband and son shared a red velvet cake and a salted caramel. The little shopping center there is so charming- I highly suggest taking an hour or two to just browse (and buy, of course) :) read more

We LOVED our little candy/ice cream adventure at Sweet Country Charm. The workers were friendly and passionate about serving sweets! The biggest hit was by far the freeze dried candy! read more

What a hidden treasure we stumbled upon. We were just driving down the highway minding our own business when what did we spot out of the corner of our eye..... a big old sign that said FUDGE! And before you knew it my car just veered into the parking lot and stopped! Seriously! That's how it happened! Our eyes lit up when we walked in! There was all this candy, walls of candy I tell ya! There was gelato! There were the most fabulous looking truffles I ever did see! And then came the fudge! Oh holy sweet tooth! I was all in! I wanted one of everything! We chatted with the owner who was delightful. She told us all about the different flavors, and gave us samples. I bought a little of this, and some of that! Everything was melt in my mouth amazing! I wish I bought more! I highly recommend dropping by for a little morsel of yumminess! read more

Such a cute little place. The lady working the counter was so sweet. The fudge is the BEST. We can't wait to go back!

Great fudge with a variety of choices. We picked up the mint chocolate and the s'mores. I liked the s'mores between the two. Make sure to request their highly sought after fudge eating kit. It's well with the stop into this place. read more

We stumbled upon this place by accident and it is adorable! It had a lot of old time candy in addition to amazing fudge and homemade candies. The lady working the counter was fabulous! If you have time and are in the area, you should definitely stop by. read more

What a sweet find (drum roll please and clash) Linda is a delight. Seriously so nice and we ended up buying the store out. Lol. 1 lb of fudge which equals four big squares -you can mix and match. Very hard choice to make. Lots of catchy fudge flavors. Gelato, different sweet popcorns and more. Little pricey but it's worth it. Plus you're supporting a small business friends to all. read more

Stopped by after the Summer Festival up in Pine because of the adorable architecture. Too cute! So what was the first thing that greeted me when I walked in the door? Was it the artistically draped fabric across the ceiling or perhaps the glorious display of fudge behind the glass cabinet? Maybe it was the delicate jewelry or the bold red patio furniture for you to take a break on... Actually the first thing that greeted me was Piper the pudgy teacup chihuahua! I got down on the floor and played with that pudge for a good while before I actually sampled and purchased some fudge. Oh man, all the samples! Delicious, decadent, and rich fudge! They even had sugar-alternatives in some of their products. I ended up walking away with a 1/4lb "secret" maple bacon fudge, some creme brulee fudge (of course), and some watermelon fudge. You can't buy half squares of fudge but an adorable BFF might go halfsies with ya! Buy four, get one free! read more

Amazing fudge, and other sweet treats! Also, the staff was polite and a tad comedic which was great! Overall, I loved the fresh fudge and all the business had to offer. I highly recommend trying if you haven't! read more

The family and I wanted to walk around and explore. We found this cute little candy shop along our walk. The sweet smell of chocolate engulfs your nostrils as you walk in. They offer a little bit of everything - candy in bulk, fudge, truffles, gummy bears, honey sticks, etc. They also sell cute trinkets and knickknacks. The staff are very friendly and welcoming. They offer free samples of fudge - YUM!! The fudge was buy 1 lb. and get a 1/4 lb. free! A great deal if you're a fudge lover. I enjoyed walked around the store and looking at everything. I really wanted to buy a souvenir, but couldn't find anything I wanted. We ended up buying so much fudge!! Cute little shop worth visiting. read more

Best fudge in Arizona handsdown... i have been visiting country charm for 7 years. I live in the valley outside of Phoenix Az. I drive up to Payson regularly to visit my favorite fudge shop. Recently I also patronize the greatest pulled pork sandwiches ever at the co-located Divine Catering LLC . Their Pork Soda BBQ sauce is the best i ever tasted i plan to order their new specialty sandwich THE ITALIAN.. read more

Friendly service and delicious fudge options. They also serve ice cream and sell candy and board games.

This is now my favorite spot in Payson. The owner and her employee are absolute sweethearts! She is the epitome of southern hospitality. This is an awesome sweets shop with delicious Gelato she special orders, decadent chocolate balls, and amazing fudge! The walls are also lined with candy, craft soap bars, and local sauces. She sells a BBQ sauce named Pork Soda, made by a local chef starting his own BBQ sauce line. The best part of it all was her adorable 8 year old Toy Chihuahua named piper. She even has her own fan club on Facebook "Piper's Fan Club". She is super calm and sweet, she lays on her unicorn plush toys while customers enjoy their treats. This woman's friendliness is reason enough alone to stop by! She dug through several boxes of stored product, not yet on shelves, just to go above and beyond for my mom who was looking for something specific. read more

As we're leaving my 8 year old says "This is like Heaven for kids!" Best Cookies and Cream gelato I've ever had.

Didn't even get mostly in the building before my dog (service dog in training) got bombarded by another dog. Which wasn't the problem. The problem was that we were then rudely told by the guy at the register that if we were bringing a dog in we needed to tell them before hand. There are no signs outside that say that. So if you are going to act like it is our fault at least put a sign out that says that. My dog is training to be a service animal and didn't respond in a violent manner at all. She just pressed herself against me, didn't bark, and didn't try to bite the smaller dog. I appreciate the woman who grabbed the small dog telling us that it wasn't our fault, but we still left. The guy made us feel like it was our fault. read more

Great place to buy good quality treats. They have a great selection. We live in the valley but will be stopping when we are going fishing or just visiting your place. Very friendly and considerate people throughout the store. read more

Best truffles and largest choice of fudge I've seen up here. They were not small either. You definitely could share one, but then again why when they are sooooo yummy ! A smaller town like Payson and the best truffles in a candy/ice cream shop. Cute store and nice service. Stop by and satisfy that sweet tooth!! We will be back again!! read more

I was so excited to try the fudge shoo-in Payson. Cute shop but being a chocoholic, I didn't care for their truffles at all. The lady at the counter bragged that their truffles were way bigger than See's truffles but I'd rather have a small, yummy truffle from See's than a large, dry truffle. I tried 3 different flavors and they were not good. read more

WE WALKED OUT-On August 6 '20 during our day trip just to get away we drove to Payson. Saw the ice cream and fudge store-ice cream sounded sooo good. Unfortunately to our surprise the employees in the store were not wearing masks. We had our masks on as did the other patrons. We watched the older woman behind the counter directly waiting on customers filling bags with fudge, she was wearing gloves. However, she talked to customers and learned over the bags talking all the while as she filled orders without a mask. Spewing those droplets. We support small businesses that take our health seriously. No matter how good the confections a big NO for SCC. read more

That is some fantastic fudge right there! We drove past here on our way to a hike and knew we'd have to stop and get some on the way back for sure. I loved all the cool candy in there too! We got honey sticks, a locally made bath bomb, fairy food, and fudge. We tried the butterfinger and smores fudge. The butterfinger crumbles on top of our fudge tasted a tad bit stale but everything else was amazing! Our favorite was the smores fudge. The gelato looked delicious too. Definitely a cute place to stop for a treat in payson! read more

Fudge!! How can you not stop in for some homemade fudge when you visit a small mountain town? I think it's a right of passage. This is an adorable little shop in Payson, just past the roundabout. It's located next door to the Candle Factory which I also love. The lady who owns this shop is talented. The fudge is worth every calorie and melts in your mouth. She was featuring creme brûlée fudge which I was hesitant to try and then I took a bite and was in heaven. The fudge is creamy, buttery and one bite won't be enough. Besides fudge, the shop also sells local handmade gifts, jewelry, novelty candy and other goodies for the home. It's the type of shop you hope every little town has and I'm glad Payson has one! read more

Fudge, old school candy, flavored popcorn, fresh toffee, truffles, homemade jewelry, cute decor, and awesome staff. The woman who helped us was very friendly. Like talking to an old friend. She helped us decide which fudge to get by giving us samples. And she wasn't shy about it. Haha, we tried quite a few before deciding on peanut butter, creme brulee, and toffee fudge. We also went home with candy apple popcorn, and a cute pair of handmade earings. They have coffee here too. You just have to love mom and pop shops :) We will be back!! read more

Would have loved to try the fudge but after standing around for 15 minutes waiting for the employee to make 2 cups of coffee and then check those customers out. And then getting cut in line by a group of 3, to which the employee said nothing. We left. Real shame, their products looked very good. read more

Cute store, but packaging and serving food with no masks is unacceptable at this point. I also love dogs, but having one live in your food shop is questionable. Those two things made me doubt their sanitation practices enough to skip purchasing anything. The fudge shop in Pine serves everything up safely and cleanly, so we went there instead. read more

We drove through Payson the other day, and I saw the large, maroon sign declaring, "FUDGE" and had to stop and try it. It was a pleasant surprise to walk into the fudge shop and be greeted by a little pup (whose name is escaping me, but you can buy shirts with her "dizzy" trick in-store!). The store had a small, candy store-like feel, at first, as there is a wall of candies at your right. Walk past it. Trust me. The good stuff's farther back... We were pleasantly greeted by the owner, who was happy to offer some samples and mentioned that she makes two hundred and-something flavors, depending on the season and her whim. I tried the praline first, and about died. It was bliss. One daughter wanted cookies and cream, and the other wanted strawberry cheesecake. At this point, we were only one flavor away from getting one square free, so I picked up a square of butter pecan (YUM!) and chocolate walnut (still haven't tried that one - slowly working my way to it). We love everything we've tried. In addition to the lovely fudge, I adore the little touch added to the paper bag (hand stamped and a lacey cut-out - adorable!). It was just a lovely experience, all around! read more

My husband and I recently visited my favorite fudge shop, Sweet Country Charm, in Payson, AZ. I was surprised to find that the owner wasn't wearing a mask. She became defensive when I asked about the mask. My thought is - if she isn't considerate enough to wear a mask to protect her customers in the store, she probably isn't wearing a mask when making the fudge and other goodies in the store. We walked out without fudge. read more
