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.

Husband loved them!

Mom said they are great!
I sent them to my Mom for Christmas. She let me know they were very good, she wanted me to know in case I wanted to sent more. This was the 1st time I ordered from Mrs. Cavanaugh's, I will order again.

Great!
Cavaliers rival Russell-Stover turtles, and the choice between dark and milk chocolate is a pleasant one.

The best
I bought these for my brother when he was dating a girl. They broke up, but she remembered them and called for the website. Both my husband and brother consider them the best they have ever had, and they are tough critics.

Turtles were Scrumptious
I loved my dark chocolate turtles and my friend loved his milk chocolate turtles. Lots of nuts and just enough caramel. The Perfect!! Only question was what was the white stuff lightly Sprinkled on top. Thought some sugar or confectionary sugar got on by mistake. Mrs. Cavanaugh's response: When we ship the chocolates they do not have the fine powder you are speaking of. Sometimes packages are abused in shipment by the carrier, causing small flakes of chocolate to break off and create the fine powder you are speaking of. We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused. - Mrs. Cavanaugh's Chocolates

My hubby's favorite
I love to surprise my husband every once in a while with his favorite Cavaliers. We moved from Utah to North Dakota, when I discovered that they shipped I was excited. I order and within 4-5 days they are at my door. Totally AWESOME!
