Milk Chocolate Pecan Bear Paw

Nathan Kobielusz — Sun, 08 May 2016 16:23:08 +0000

The pecan bear paw is the one candy-lovers will recognize: it’s the same family as the turtle, but built bigger and made by hand. We start with buttery pecans, cover them in our creamy homemade caramel, and finish the whole paw in smooth milk chocolate. The result is the classic caramel-pecan-chocolate combination in its most generous form.

Each paw is dipped by hand in our Black Hills kitchens. If you like your chocolate deeper, try the dark chocolate pecan bear paw — or branch out to cashew and almond.

For the dark chocolate crowd, this is the bear paw at its best: buttery pecans and creamy, handmade caramel finished in dark chocolate with real depth. The slight bitterness of the dark chocolate plays against the sweet caramel, and the pecans keep every bite interesting.

Like all our bear paws, each one is poured and dipped by hand, so every paw has its own character. Pairs dangerously well with a cup of coffee.

White Chocolate Pecan Bear Paw

The white chocolate pecan bear paw is the sleeper hit of the family. Mellow, creamy white chocolate lets the caramel and the buttery pecans do the talking, and the whole paw eats a little sweeter and a little softer than its milk and dark siblings.

Like every bear paw we make, it’s poured and dipped by hand in our shops. Try one of each chocolate and hold a family taste-off — we’re told the debates get spirited.

Milk Chocolate Cashew Bear Paw

If you only try one thing from Turtle Town, make it a bear paw. This is our signature candy: a generous pour of creamy, handmade caramel over crunchy cashews, drenched in smooth milk chocolate until the whole thing sets into something between a turtle and a small miracle. Each paw is made by hand in our Black Hills kitchens, so no two look quite alike — but every one eats the same way: slowly, and with no intention of sharing.

Prefer a different nut or chocolate? We make bear paws with pecans and almonds too, in milk, dark, and white chocolate — and a sugar-free version for good measure.

Cashews are the softest, butteriest nut we put in a bear paw — and dark chocolate is their perfect counterweight. This paw layers crunchy cashews with our creamy homemade caramel and finishes it all in dark chocolate that keeps the sweetness in check.

Hand-dipped in our Black Hills kitchens in small batches. Fair warning: of all the bear paws, this is the one that disappears from the box first.

Buttery cashews, our creamy homemade caramel, and a generous coat of sweet white chocolate — the gentlest member of the bear paw family, and the favorite of everyone who insists white chocolate deserves more respect. We agree.

Hand-dipped in small batches at our shops in Keystone and Hill City. If you’re assembling a sampler box, this one adds a pale, pretty contrast to the milk and dark paws.

Milk Chocolate Almond Bear Paw

This is comfort candy: crunchy almonds wrapped in creamy, handmade caramel and finished in smooth milk chocolate. The almond version of our signature bear paw has a toasty, buttery character all its own — a little more refined than the peanut-forward candies of the world, and every bit as satisfying.

Each paw is made by hand, one at a time, the way this shop has done things since 1977.

Almonds bring a clean, toasty crunch to the bear paw — and under a coat of rich dark chocolate, they make this version the pick for people who like their candy a little less sweet and a lot more interesting. In between sits the same creamy caramel we pour by hand for every paw we make.

Made in small batches in our Black Hills kitchens. If milk chocolate is more your speed, the milk chocolate almond bear paw is right over there.

Sweet, creamy white chocolate over handmade caramel and crunchy almonds — this bear paw is pure indulgence. The almonds keep it grounded with a toasty crunch while the white chocolate makes the whole thing taste like dessert’s dessert.

Each paw is made by hand in our Black Hills kitchens. They ship well, they gift well, and they survive road trips only if hidden from the driver.
