Cavaliers – The Perfect Christmas Candy
Why are Mrs. Cavanaugh's chewy caramel Cavaliers the best you will ever taste? These classic chocolates—often called chocolate turtles—are a timeless favorite and even better than Grandma’s homemade pecan caramel recipe.
Our chocolatiers hand-select crunchy pecans, cover them in slow-cooked buttery caramel, and finish each cluster with a generous coating of rich, melted chocolate for the perfect balance of flavors and textures.
At Mrs. Cavanaugh's, quality is our top priority. Every batch of Cavaliers is crafted with care using only the finest ingredients to ensure a truly indulgent confectionery experience.
We cook our caramels for over six hours to develop a deep, natural flavor without artificial additives, then combine them with toasted chopped pecans. These extravagant chocolate pecan caramel clusters are a guaranteed favorite for holidays, celebrations, or everyday indulgence.
We call them “Cavaliers” because once you experience the rich chocolate, chewy caramel, and crunchy pecans, you’ll be cavalier about putting them down.

Cavaliers
I'm addicted to this candy! It came unmelted to Arizona! They are delicious! They were a bit smaller than the ones that come in an assortment but I have to make myself stop eating them!! Response: Thank you for your review! We sell our chocolates by weight and not volume, so size will not affect the amount you receive. We make our orders by hand; therefore, the sizes may vary slightly.

great gift
These are my grandmother’s favorite, and a wonderful way to brighten her day during these times of isolation. She says they’re the best chocolates she’s tasted and must be homemade!

dark chocolate cavaliers
It's so difficult to find turtles in dark chocolate. Received these in perfect condition, Ice packs kept chocolates cold even though I received them on a hotter day. These are the best turtles I've had in a very long time. Very fresh, the dark chocolate was wonderful. Thank you, definitely recommend and will order again!

Caramel and pecan turtles
The dark chocolate was very good. I would have like more caramel but they were good and were gone in 3 days.
