Cruffs Cream Puffs

We made a trip to the Farmers market over the weekend and I sent the man off you buy a protein for dinner. When I found him a bit later, he was gawking at the cream puffs at Cruffs.
We got a dozen… not sure why but it likely had something to do with not having to choose between types if we bought that many. They are beautifully made and the filling is nice and light. No oily cream filling here! There are a variety of fillings. We didn’t care for the strawberry one much (strange aftertaste) but the rest were decadent and delish! They aren’t cheap but the quality makes it worth it.
I would agree with a previous reviewer that the cream tends to squirt out, no matter how carefully you try to eat your Cruff. This might make them a bit of an awkward treat to bring to a dinner or party, as people may end up wearing their Cruff.
Exploding filling aside, these are definitely worth putting on the guilty pleasure list.

Where do you go when you want cream puffs? CRUFFS… the house of cream puffs!
Cruffs has been on my ‘places to try’ list for the longest time and this past weekend, I finally got the chance to go! There are two different locations, one in Mission (2312A — 4^th Street SW) and one in the Calgary’s Farmers Market (510 — 77^th Avenue SE). I visited the one located in the Farmers Market. Once I spotted Cruffs, I dragged Spence over, I then drooled over the display. They offer a nice selection of coated mini cream puff which were (skor, rainbow chocolate, wafer crunch, cocoa nibs, the classic, toasted almond, cookie crumbs and toasted coconut) and for the filling, they only offered chantilly cream, hazelnut chocolate, strawberry and baileys that day.
How it works is all the shells on display are empty. You choose a shell from the selection then choose the filling and then they’ll fill the shell up! We purchased a total of 3 for $ 5.51 (coated mini are $ 1.75 each). I got the wafer crunch with the chantilly cream and a rainbow chocolate with strawberry filling. Spence got the toasted almond with hazelnut chocolate filling. Of course we couldn’t wait so we had our cruffs right away. I found that once you bit into the cream puff, the filling shot out the other end… they are quite generous with the filling! I’ll definitely recommend the wafer crunch with chantilly cream, it’s a really good combination! There’s a nice light crunch and then an explosion of cream, YUM!
I believe they have a bigger selection at Mission, but either location is a definite must try!
