Chocolate Bear Claws® in Milk, Dark & Sea Salt

Our Bear Claws® start with a bed of fresh, crunchy pecans, topped with buttery caramel and finished in smooth chocolate. Choose the classic milk chocolate Bear Claws 8-piece box, a rich dark chocolate gift box, or our sea salt variety. Some call this style of candy chocolate turtles, but in Savannah they have always been Bear Claws.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are Bear Claws made of?

Bear Claws start with a bed of fresh, crunchy pecans, topped with buttery caramel and finished in smooth milk, dark, or white chocolate. They are handmade in small batches the old-fashioned way.

Are Bear Claws the same as chocolate turtles?

They are a similar style of candy, but in Savannah they have always been called Bear Claws. Our unique process lets the pecans, caramel, and chocolate shine in every piece.

Do you offer dark and milk chocolate options?

Yes. We make our chocolate treats in both milk and dark chocolate, plus sea salt varieties, so there is something for every chocolate lover.

Can chocolate ship in warm weather?

Chocolate is heat-sensitive, so during warm months we recommend warm weather shipping for chocolate items. Heat-safe treats like pralines and glazed pecans ship without special handling year-round.

Are your chocolates handmade?

Yes. Every chocolate treat is handmade in small batches in our Savannah kitchens using copper kettles and marble tables, just as we have done since 1973.
