This is the second time I have ordered these Southern Colonels. They are fresh and delicious! I have a fridge in the garage that I store them in, otherwise I would eat them too fast. You will not be disappointed in these candies. I ordered 2 boxes last time, because with summer temperatures coming they would melt in the heat.


nuts and colonels as always very excellent thank u

By Far The Best!
Jan 4, 2023  |  By Martha Robertson
After my first bite, I was hooked! These are the best 'turtles' I have ever eaten!! And since I ordered a 2-lb. container, I had to box them up to give them to the ladies in my ladies group at my church. If I hadn't done this and got them out the door, I would have been eating them myself, lol!


Delicious!

I gave most of these delicious treats to others as "just because" gifts. I live in an 8 condo building with shops on the lower level, I am 83 years "young" so all tenants watch over me. So I treat everybody occasionally! Got wonderful reports, even a hand written thank you from the financial people below me! I told all of them where they came from. (Just a little advertisement) Phyllis
Owner Response: Phyllis, we are so pleased that your friends enjoyed Priester's pecan treats! Thank you for your business and we truly appreciate your kind review!

If you love milk chocolate, pecans and ooey gooey caramel, the Southern Colonels will not disappointed. I'm hungry for some more, just thinking about how good they are!


Love Priester's
Mar 3, 2019  |  By Sharon Black
My husband and I love the Southern Colonels! Believe me, we have eaten many "turtles" and these are our favorite. They are really big and not overly sweet. Truly delicious! They are individually wrapped so you can easily grab one and go without worrying about making a mess.


Oh my goodness

These are the best turtles I have had in a long time. I found this shop in a story about the best chocolate candy in every state and they were not wrong.
Owner Response: Thank you so much for the wonderful review! We appreciate your business!

These are yummy. I did not think that there would ever be anything as good as Priesters's Divinity until I had the Southern Colonel. Now I cannot pick between the two so they are tied for #1. Wonder what they would taste like in Dark Chocolate????? I would love to try one. They almost taste like a chocolate covered cherry with caramel and pecans. They are FABULOUS.

Honestly, providing a review is very easy for me. In addition to the Southern Colonels, I have ordered the Mini Pecan Pies and the Fiddlesticks several times. For Christmas 2017, I bought many many items and gave my crew at work individual gift bags filled with an assortment of Priester's pecan goodies. Because they wrap them individually, it is PERFECT for gifts. Because, if I did not give them as gifts, I would eat every one of them myself. I love everything at Priester's Pecans.

Delicious and Addictive
Jan 21, 2018  |  By Robert Flock
The Southern Colonels were absolutely delicious, but very addictive. It was hard to eat just one at a time. If there were a smaller version available, I would not feel as guilty eating two or three at a time since it would be equivalent to eating one of the larger ones. So much for my diet!

Someone at work brought Priester's to share last year. I went home and bought a few items including these. I used to buy turtles for Christmas from a big name company in Chicago but am switching to these. They are perfect! The pecans are SO fresh and they candies are really big! They came individually wrapped so I sent one to my mom in Illinois. Everyone who tried them agreed they were great.
