From the silkiest fudge, creamiest caramel, light, fluffy truffles and toffees enrobed in the finest chocolate and crushed nuts, to turtles (featured on NPR's "The Splendid Table") in all combinations: cashew, pecan, almond, or macadamia,  in milk, dark, or white chocolate - clusters, exquisite barks, and original signature confections, Turtle Alley Chocolates tempts the sweet-lover in all of us.

Located in historic Gloucester, Massachusetts, Turtle Alley's reputation for warm, personal service and the finest, freshest hand-made chocolates is based on these simple principles: use the best ingredients, finest grades of chocolate, real butter, fresh cream, imported nuts and spices, and handcraft small batches for the freshest taste experience available anywhere. It's not just our motto, it's our mission.

And while we offer a vast array of traditional fare, Turtle Alley is also known for new and innovative taste combinations: smoked salt caramels, cranberry-pecan turtles, cherries steeped in bourbon or gran marnier, hot honey caramels, and -- our very own "Umba" -- the perfect combination of coconut, caramel, and roasted almonds. Ask what's new as we're always cooking up fresh taste sensations.

If you're new to Turtle Alley we'd suggest that you start with one of our samplers (available in 1, 2, 3, or 5 lb. boxes) or, if you like, make up your own box by choosing the "Pick Your Own" category.  Either way we'll get your Turtle Alley hand-made chocolates to you as fast as our sticky hands can manage.

Thanks for stopping by.

Hallie Baker, Chocolatier.
