Bandon Oregon may be known for a lot of things, but few may know that Bandon happens to be the cranberry capital of the state. While that is a pretty cool fact, what use do we have for cranberries other than a tart juice? That was the question Clifford Shaw asked themselves when thinking of a way to cash in on the local bountiful crop. It was at about that time in 1974 when Shaw purchased a candy recipe from a local resident that captured the unique cranberry tang, and shortly after that Cranberry Sweets & More was born.
Located in the historic old town of Bandon you will find a candy shop that has grown in popularity and wildly expanded operations from the days of the original cranberry candy recipes.
What You Will Find At Cranberry Sweets & More
Upon entering the store your senses will be struck with the sweet smell of chocolate followed by wall to wall display of delicious treats.
Today they hand make in small batches everything from their classic jelly candies to brittles and toffee, condiments, jams, cookies, fudges, chocolates and they even expanded into a popcorn factory.
Popcorn Lovers Listen Up!
In 2014 they began to make their own caramel corn and found it was a quick success. By 2015 they expanded their popcorn operation and were then able to produce larger quantities and far more fun flavors.
With over 30 varieties of popcorn to choose from it’s hard to decide between their most popular caramel corn or something savory like their jalapeno cheddar.
Other honorable mentions include their Deschutes stoute and pretzel corn and their salted caramel cheesecake.
More Delicious Treats
Check out their caramel apples, all 2lbs worth of caramel, nutty, chocolaty goodness!
