Today, Kevin and I are diving into a selection of Little Turtles chocolates. We have the Peanut Butter Milk Chocolate Turtle, the Caramel Pecan Bar, the Coconut Dream Bar, and the Five Layer Delight Bar. Each bar was priced at $2.99 at Jungle Jim’s International Market in Ohio, which seems quite reasonable considering their generous size. Little Turtles chocolates are made in Baltic, Ohio, and we’ve previously been gifted some by Asma, who lives in Ohio. While we might have tried these before, we’re excited to give them another go, especially the peanut butter options.
Peanut Butter Milk Chocolate Turtle
The Peanut Butter Milk Chocolate Turtle is 320 calories per piece. This bar features a rich layer of peanut butter, replacing the typical caramel found in turtles, which we found to be a delightful twist. The peanut butter is creamy and pairs well with the milk chocolate. As a peanut butter lover, I appreciated this combination, even noting a hint of saltiness that enhances the flavor.
Caramel Pecan Bar
Next, we tried the Caramel Pecan Bar, which boasts caramel and roasted pecans enveloped in milk chocolate. This bar is 300 calories. The caramel here has a slightly maple-like flavor, reminiscent of a maple nut goodie. The sweetness of the caramel and the crunch of the pecans create a delightful contrast, making this bar intensely flavorful. The caramel’s texture is somewhat gritty, adding to the overall experience. The pecan flavor is more pronounced here than in the peanut butter bar.
Coconut Dream Bar
The Coconut Dream Bar, at 280 calories, features creamy coconut wrapped in milk chocolate. The coconut is sweet and crunchy, providing a pleasant texture. If you enjoy sweetened coconut with a bit of crunch, this bar will not disappoint. The sugar adds an extra layer of sweetness, making it a treat for those who love coconut.
Five Layer Delight Bar
Finally, we sampled the Five Layer Delight Bar, which includes caramel, roasted pecans, coconut, and peanut butter. This bar is 300 calories and offers a balanced blend of flavors. No single ingredient overpowers the others, creating a harmonious mix of caramel, pecans, and a hint of peanut butter. The texture is varied, with each bite revealing different components.
Final Thoughts
Our favorite is the Caramel Pecan Bar for its intense flavor and delightful texture. My second choice is the Peanut Butter Milk Chocolate Turtle, while Kevin prefers the Coconut Dream Bar. The Five Layer Delight Bar offers a balanced taste experience but didn’t stand out as much as the others.
Little Turtles chocolates are high-quality confections that rival many local candy brands in Kentucky. If you’re interested in trying them, visit their website or contact Asma, who can help you obtain these delicious treats. Enjoy the video and happy snacking!
