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.

Lovely Mother's Day Gift!
I ordered a box of these for my aunt for Mother's Day. They arrived to her in just 2 days and in perfect condition. She said these are the best turtles she's ever had in her life! I loved the option for free gift wrapping and the card insert was handwritten, which I thought was a lovely touch. Would highly recommend and plan on ordering some for myself next time!

Very tasty. Fresh! Fast delivery. I’d love more pecans and a smidge more caramel. White chocolate was my fave. Sincerely, Lynn Markman

dark turtles
Unfortunately, it was too much chocolate, which was very thick. I prefer a lighter amount of chocolate.

These are the best you will find anywhere. There are none finer, and I am a fan of the milk chocolate ones.
