What are your plans for Spring Break? Are you headed out of town, maybe somewhere tropical?
If you are like us and you are sticking pretty close to home we want to spend the next few weeks giving you some fun ideas of place to go in and around Portland during the break.
How about an overnight trip or a day trip to the coast?
One not to be missed Oregon Coast stop is Bruce’s Candy Kitchen in Cannon Beach, just an hour and a half drive from Portland. Bruce’s Candy Kitchen has been around since 1963 and no trip to the beach would be complete for our family without a visit to Bruce’s!
Bruce’s Candy Kitchen is candy heaven! They have the feel of an old fashion candy shop and an amazing selection! There is even candy on their front doors!!
If you are lucky you will be able to watch them make their salt water taffy during your visit.
If you miss it be sure and pick yourself out a nice selection of their amazing, house made taffy!
If taffy isn’t your thing, no worries, there is plenty of other sweets to tempt that sweet tooth!
And if you just can’t decide, you can always try my personal favorite – white chocolate covered gummi bears – polar bears!!
No matter what your candy of choice we can pretty much guarantee you won’t leave empty handed.
Enjoy a sweet treat at Bruce’s Candy Kitchen at Cannon Beach!

What began in 1993 in Portland Oregon as “an idea to handcraft superior chocolates, chocolates that would not only taste exquisite but would look exceptional” soon became Moonstruck Chocolates. With five locations in the Portland area Moonstruck Chocolates still handcrafts each piece of decadent chocolate with the best ingredients and the fresh flavors of the Northwest.
You can find Moonstruck Chocolate Cafes at 2 downtown locations, one on NW 23rd, Lake Oswego Village, Beaverton Town Square and St. Johns.
You can sip a gourmet beverage or indulge in an amazingly decadent dessert or just enjoy a piece of chocolate.
This time of year there are plenty of pretty valentine gift ideas to choose from too! For those of you not lucky enough to leave nearby you can order your favorite chocolate online just by visiting their website.
So if you are looking for a lovely valentine for that special someone head on over to the closest Moonstruck Chocolate Cafe – there is plenty to choose from and they will even give you a free sample!
