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.

Milk Chocolate and Caramel Pecan Turtles
I have eaten a lot of different pecan turtles. (My all time favorite candy!) These were right up there near the top of the list. (some of the best candies I have ever tasted! Great job, Mrs Cavanaughs !!!

Best dark chocolate ever
We are dark chocolate lovers and have tried various chocolatiers all over the U.S. and abroad. MrsCavanaughs is the absolute best. The chocolate is ever so smooth and the rich taste of dark chocolate is just right with no bitter after taste. Our favorite is the Dark Chocolate Cavaliers which is pecan pieces and carmel...doesn't get any better than this. The price point is also right. Great value for a great product.

Fair pricing and tasty too
While visiting my mom in CA we bought a box of turtles online to ship to my husband for Father's Day. I almost bought from a competitor, but their shipping and extra handling made the purchase too expensive. So, I submitted an order via your company and there were no extra charges for ice packaging and the best part is my husband is enjoying the turtles.

Best Chocolates Ever!
Our family loves Cavanaughs chocolates. The cavaliers are my fathers favorites and he gets them as gifts for all occasions! Mrs. Cavanaugh's employees are the best! They are all very helpful and friendly. I have shipped candy and it arrives on time and packed very well.

Too delicious
I bought 2 lbs. dark chocolate pecan turtles. Received them in a couple of days and ate them in a couple of days. The nuts were fresh and delicious chocolate. Couldn't stop eating them. I would and will buy again.
