Description
- We start with the best American made chocolate (no imports). We do not add preservatives to our chocolates, so you taste fresh pure chocolate. Much of the factory produced chocolate being sold today contains paraffin wax to keep a shiny finish on the surface of the chocolate. Our Shoppe does not add paraffin because it adds a waxy taste to the chocolate. Our shoppe is small, so we have good quality control. Each piece of chocolate is made by hand, one piece at a time.
- We could automate our process with machinery and not have as many employees, but we prefer to employ people who care about the product they are creating rather than use machines with no feelings. We may charge more for our chocolates than the big companies do, but we provide you with fresh made chocolate full of heart and soul, made in the USA by Americans that care about pleasing you.
- (No-Melt Guarantee) If the order destination is warm, we automatically pack your chocolates in an insulated box with a reusable ice gel-pack. There is no additional charge for the No-Melt packaging.
- Our Nostalgic White Box holds one pound of Chocolate Caramel Pecan Turtles. Each turtle is made by hand, is larger and thicker than most turtles and therefore varies in size and weight. There are 12 to 16 turtles per pound. We thermal-seal in the freshness. Each box contains 2 half pound plastic bags filled with fresh Chocolate Caramel Turtles. If you order more than one pound, you will receive multiple one pound boxes.
- We receive many favorable emails telling us how great the Mantorville Farms turtles are, but we also get many hand written letters from gift recipients who do not have email. Our turtles are that good. People take time to hand write a letter and send it to us because they want us to know how much they enjoyed the turtles.
When we make the turtles, we let the caramel sit on top of the pecans just long enough to form a shell, holding the pecans together so each pecan adorned shell can be dipped in chocolate. After the shell is dipped, it becomes a Chocolate Covered Caramel Pecan Turtle. Each Turtle is left alone just long enough so that the chocolate sets before the Turtles are placed in your bag. Now if you were here in Mantorville, we would place the Turtles in a white paper bag, but because it will be a few days before you receive them, we thermal seal your Turtles in a special plastic bag. (The bag captures the aroma of the chocolate and keeps the turtles fresh.) We then place your Chocolate Covered Caramel Pecan Turtles in a sturdy white box which is then put in a brown shipping box to assure they travel with first class accommodations to the destination of your choice.
