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.

White chocolate turtles
I have been eating milk chocolate ones for decades. The white chocolate is exceptional.

Deeeeliciousness!!!
This is my first time buying Mrs. Cavanaughs chocolates. I purchased the mixed lb box of Caramel & Caramel Pecan Clusters - a mix of milk, dark, and white chocolate covered turtles. OMG Sooooo YUM!! Each flavor is distinct, rich and delicious!! The chocolate, the caramel and the pecans all taste fresh and have their own seperate flavor notes that all marry so well together. The battle for my favorite is between the dark and the white (never had a white chocolate caramel pecan cluster before!!). Very happy first time customer. Will definitely become a regular!
