Turtles

Cultural Context

Turtles are a beloved American confection that combines the rich flavors of chocolate, caramel, and nuts. They are often associated with holiday celebrations and special occasions, making them a popular treat during festive seasons. The name 'turtle' is said to come from the candy's resemblance to the shape of a turtle, and they have become a staple in many households, often made as gifts or enjoyed during family gatherings. Today, variations exist, with some recipes incorporating different types of nuts or chocolate to cater to diverse tastes.
