Chocolate Bear Claws® Handmade in Savannah

River Street Sweets® Bear Claws® are a beloved Southern candy made by hand in small batches the old-fashioned way. Each one starts with a bed of fresh, crunchy Georgia pecans, topped with golden, buttery caramel and finished with a smooth layer of chocolate for the perfect balance of sweet, crunchy, and nutty in every bite. Some candy lovers call this style a chocolate turtle, but in Savannah they have always been Bear Claws. Our unique process lets the crunchy pecans, chewy caramel, and chocolate topping shine, and every box ships nationwide backed by our 100% guarantee.

Milk, Dark & White Chocolate Bear Claws

Choose your favorite finish: creamy milk chocolate, bold dark chocolate, or sweet white chocolate, each layered generously over chewy caramel and crunchy Georgia pecans. Send a classic gift box of milk chocolate Bear Claws for a timeless crowd favorite, or our milk and dark chocolate Bear Claws assortment when you want a little of both in one beautifully packed gift. Whichever you choose, every piece delivers that signature contrast of textures and rich, satisfying flavor.

Bear Claw Bites & Nut Varieties

Want something poppable? Our bite-sized Bear Claw Bites are fully enrobed in chocolate for a one-bite treat that is perfect for snacking, sharing, and setting out at parties. For nut lovers looking for a new twist on a classic, we also make almond Bear Claw Bites and cashew Bear Claw Bites that swap in different premium nuts for a fresh take on the original recipe. They are an easy way to discover a new favorite while enjoying the same handmade quality.

Sea Salt & Caramel Pecan Bear Claws

For a sweet-and-salty favorite, try our milk chocolate sea salt Bear Claws or dark chocolate sea salt Bear Claws, where a light sprinkle of sea salt balances the rich caramel and chocolate beautifully. The contrast of salty and sweet over a bed of crunchy pecans makes these an irresistible gift box or everyday indulgence. They are especially popular with grown-up candy lovers who appreciate a more sophisticated take on a classic Southern confection.
