“Life is like a box of chocolates. You never know what you're gonna get.” – Forrest Gump. Except with Phillips Chocolates, you do — handcrafted, premium chocolate turtles that customers have loved for over 100 years.
Established in 1925, Phillips Chocolates is Boston’s oldest chocolatier. For nearly a century, we’ve remained committed to traditional recipes, small-batch craftsmanship, and high-quality ingredients. When it comes to chocolate turtles, our reputation speaks for itself. This isn’t just another candy — it’s a legacy.
What Are Chocolate Turtles?
Chocolate turtles are a timeless confection made by layering buttery caramel and crunchy pecans, almonds or cashews, then coating everything in smooth chocolate. The shape resembles a turtle, hence the name — but the flavor is anything but silly.
These treats deliver a balance of sweet, salty, crunchy, and creamy in every bite. The combination of textures and flavors makes chocolate turtles a go-to for gifting, sharing, or savoring solo.
Why Phillips Chocolates Turtles Stand Out
At Phillips, we don’t cut corners. Each batch of chocolate turtles is made the old-fashioned way — by hand. Our chocolatiers use only premium ingredients, including:
-
House-made caramel, slow-cooked until golden and rich
-
Fresh, crunchy pecans, almonds and cashews sourced from top growers
-
Pure cou milk and dark couverture chocolate couverture, never waxy or artificial
This level of care is rare in the industry today. Most mass-market chocolate covered turtles are produced in bulk, often using low-grade ingredients and artificial flavorings. Not ours. When customers say they can taste the difference, they mean it.
Variety That Satisfies
We offer a full range of chocolate turtles, including:
Classic Milk Chocolate Turtles
