Description
It sounds fun to say “we can’t make Turtles fast enough,” but in practice it’s actually sort of harrowing. Forming those little legs, those sensuous curves, by hand (when the caramel is at the perfect temperature) takes some serious time. And when customers come in the shop craving the combination of caramel, dark chocolate, pecans, and sea salt and we’re out of stock of them, it’s disappointing for everyone. They’re our most popular chocolate, by far, which means we’re frequently scrambling to turtle-ize.
Also, I’ve been craving a candy bar that rhymes with “trickers” for precisely 21 years, since I became vegan.
I knew something had to be done.
And so: enter The Turtle Bar, made with the same butterscotchy caramel used in our Salted Galapagos Turtles, packed with pecans (it really satisfies, um) and topped with a pecan-rich layer of chocolate nougat (probably the most fun thing to make of all time: meringue [the same vegan technique Maresa uses in her famous French macarons, which she taught me late one night under the thickest cloak of secrecy] plus hot hot caramel), enrobed in 66% chocolate, garnished with a ton of fleur de sel. Softer than a certain addictive chocolate bar I won’t mention but which has been haunting my dreams off and on for two decades, and also: better in every conceivable way.
And probably some we haven’t yet conceived of.

Once again, I am just Wow’ed. Mind you, I am no vegan. I know, boo me. BUT, with that in mind, keep in mind, that I can eat anything, which means out of every ‘Turtle’ anything, this bar is simply the best! Not to mention it’s actually good for you! At least that’s what I tell myself. I mean it doesn’t have any processed junk in it, and is ethically sourced. So you can’t go wrong imho. I only wish they were a tad cheaper, BUT (again), I live in NY Ithaca so I’m more than happy to contribute to a local small business :). Because that’s what we need. More devoted small businesses around with high standards. Over time as more people support the local economy things will become cheaper for everyone and the world will be a much better place! Ok done ranting. Get the darn bar. It’s worth the money!

This is GOOD! I’m not usually a fan of caramel or ooey gooey stuff but yeowza this is so delicious! If you only buy one Lagusta candy bar, this is it. If you are trying to convert–introd-uce–someone to vegan awesomeness, this is the magic gateway. Man, I should have bought two. Or a dozen.
