The Turtles® Story
1916
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 decadent chocolate shell, a new classic confection was born. And with an uncanny resemblance to the shape of a beloved, slow-going animal, there was only one thing to call it.
Today
It’s no surprise that Turtles® has been popular for more than 100 years. While it’s core combination of ingredients has made its way across ice creams, brownies and cake mixes, there’s nothing like the original. Today, Turtles® nut clusters can be found across the nation in a variety of flavors and sizes perfect to gift, snack, share, or save for a sweet treat. From its roots in a Chicago candy shop a century ago, Turtles® is still Slow Good, but it’s popularity shows no signs of slowing down.
