With an unforgettable shape and unique ingredients, Chicago candy maker, George DeMet struck gold with Turtles® caramel nut clusters in 1916. DeMet’s Madison Street candy shop took the chocolate industry by storm by revolutionizing the classic sweet treat of chocolate-dipped-pecans.
By adding gooey caramel into the mix with crunchy pecans and a luscious chocolate shell, a decadent new idea was created. Named for the iconic shape the original nut cluster resembles, the exceptional combination of flavors and ingredients in a Turtles® nut cluster was a new taste everyone loved.
