Having one head, four legs and a tail, the chocolate turtle has made its claim to fame as the only chocolate animal worth its salt, or rather, its chocolate! This decadently rich, sinfully delicious chocolate candy has won the hearts of people all over the world, and most especially, in the American culture. That might be due to the fact that the first caramel chocolate turtle was created in Chicago!

Chocolate turtles are believed to have a history that spans over two centuries. They were first made in the early 1800s, although the exact details of the creation of this exquisite candy have been lost to us through the reaches of time. However, the chocolate turtle gone on to become one of the most fascinating, scrumptious chocolate candies of our time.

For Americans, the chocolate turtle is commonly associated with Christmas. Originally they were meant as sweet treats to be enjoyed only during Holy Days such as Christmas, Easter or Hanukah. For many chocoholics, a Christmas without chocolate turtles under your tree or stuffed in a stocking is no Christmas at all! These candies are also very popular for the day-to-day chocolate binges and the chocolate filled gift baskets.

Chocolate turtles are essentially made by placing a dollop of creamiest caramel atop a cluster of roasted nuts, and then smothering the cluster with rich, hot, melted chocolate. The caramel serves to help the nuts and chocolate stick together, creating a scrumptious mouthful of chocolate turtle goodness!

There are many different types of chocolate turtles on the market. The variations of this candy are caused by the different types of nuts used, the chocolate they are smothered in, or the taste and consistency of the caramel that goes into their making.

The traditional American chocolate turtle consists of richly roasted pecan halves placed in such a manner that the completed candy actually takes on the characteristic looks of a turtle. Six pecan halves are placed from end to end, on wax paper forming the base and shape of a turtle. A dollop of melted caramel is dropped onto the pecan halves. Before the caramel can solidify, hot melted chocolate is poured liberally onto it, covering the entire cluster apart from the wide ends of the pecan halves.

These ends therefore become the head, four legs and the tail. The caramel and chocolate solidify, and glue to the pecan halves. Your chocolate turtle is ready for consumption! The American way requires that you use quality milk chocolate for the very best taste. In the sophisticated lands of Europe, chocolate turtles are made of a vastly different variety of chocolate types and nuts, both for the normal taste buds, as well as for the eccentric palate!

Most chocolatiers generally prefer using pecans, although cashew nuts and almonds have also become a favorite lately. However, as any turtle lover will likely tell you, nothing tastes as good as a pecan chocolate turtle!
