Using a variety of chocolates as well as nuts and caramel, these turtles candies are like manna from heaven.
Of course, Southern Candymakers offers up much more goodies as well like different types of brittle, bark and divinity. Salt water taffy is a fun treat as are the chocolate covered dried fruits and other sweets. These candy stores are the perfect spot to purchase some souvenirs and gifts for friends.
