Bake with it, snack with it—it's your life.
Our gems are shaped like hexagons. Why? Well, have you seen hexagon-shaped chocolate before? Didn't think so.
Baking was the foundation of the Hu Chocolate line. In 2012, Hu Kitchen restaurant bakers needed a chocolate for their paleo pastries. Hu's chocolate bar line arose from that baking chocolate, which they now bring to you. Meet Hu Gems. Hexagon-shaped chocolate chunks made from organic cacao. Rich cocoa flavor punctuated by subtle caramel notes (similar to Hu's Simple chocolate bar) – a solid (read: addictive) choice for both snacking AND baking.

Homemade Turtles Candy
[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Indulge in the classic turtles candy experience without the refined sugar or dairy! This chocolate turtles candy recipe features crunchy pecans, rich dark chocolate and naturally sweet caramel made from dates, maple syrup, maca powder and SunButter. A sprinkle of sea salt ties it all together for a wholesome treat that’s as delicious as it is better-for-you. And, they’re fun to make!
Homemade Turtles Candy
- 100 pecans (about 2 packages)
- 1 tsp. Redmond Real Salt Sea Salt
- 3/4 cup Hu Chocolate Gems
Caramel
- 1 cup pitted dates (soaked in warm water 15 minutes)
- 2 Tbsp. SunButter Organic Sunflower Butter
- 1 tsp. vanilla extract
- 1 tsp. maca powder
- 1/4 tsp. Redmond Real Salt Sea Salt
- 6 Tbsp. maple syrup
- On baking pan lined with parchment paper, arrange 5 pecans together like flower petals. Repeat until there are 20 clusters.
- In food processor, combine all ingredients for caramel and blend until completely smooth.
- Pour 1-2 tablespoons caramel onto each pecan cluster so caramel covers the center where all pecans meet. Leave outer ends of pecans sticking out like turtle feet. Place pan with candies in freezer to set a few minutes while the chocolate is prepped.
- In double boiler or sauce pan over low heat, melt chocolate about two minutes until smooth. Remove turtles from freezer and press down on each with your finger to flatten caramel and allow poured chocolate to settle evenly. Add 1/2 tablespoon chocolate over caramel.
- Sprinkle each turtle with salt and refrigerate 5 minutes or until chocolate has set. Store in freezer.
