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.

Fantabulous Turtles
The dark chocolate turtles were absolutely out of this world.

Good turtles
These are good chocolate turtles, just wish there was more of a caramel taste to them. Still very tasty.
-
Soft and Gooey
The caramel was creamy and soft. They add just enough nuts and totally smoother it with really good chocolate.

Mother's Day Gift
I did not personally see the packaging and the presentations of the chocolates because I had them delivered to my mother in law but she called and was very excited and thrilled and began eating them immediately. She loved the taste! They are her favorite chocolates. I am so happy I came across this website!!!! Thank you

Yummy Turtles
This was my first time ordering chocolates. I bought a mixed box of turtles as a mothers day gift. It arrived early boxed with dry ice and according to Mom beautifully wrapped. She loves the turtles!! Time to order myself some chocolate!

Nutty, Chewy Goodness!!!
Delicious "Cavalier-type" candy that exceeded my expectations! Arrived fresh and coated in a thick layed of milk chocolate that covers the ENTIRE piece, not just the top! Love Mrs. Cavanaugh's candy!

Delicious, but.......
For the last few years we treat our family to what we consider to be the greatest chocolate ever, Mrs. Cavanaugh's. The chocolates always arrive fresh, well packaged, and of course incredibly delicious. The problem is we order Dark/Milk mix as we have lovers of both in our family, and every year they arrive with about 70-80% Milk and only 20-30% Dark. The first year we thought it was a fluke, but now it has happened more than once we feel this must just be how they mix them. We would really appreciate it if it was closer to a 50-50 mix, or even error a little more on the Dark side. The product is amazing so they get 5 stars, but really the mix only gets a 2 star from us. Maybe next year we will just have to order a pound of each. :)
