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.

I had these chocolate turtles sent to my ailing sister in Davie, Fl and she told me that they were to best candies she has ever had. She and I both love chocolate a lot. This was my first time ordering from mrs cavanaugh's and I will most definitely order again. Thanks mrs cavanaugh's for making my sister smile. Fondly Yours Shari
