Do You Eat Terrapins?

Most people don’t know what a terrapin is, so they wouldn’t know if they eat them or not. But I know and I do eat them! To add to all the confusion; there is a terrapin beer company, a terrapin restaurant, a terrapin salad, a terrapin athletic team, a terrapin guitar, and even a turtle living in water, called a terrapin.
But to a chocolate lover a terrapin is a irresistible and delicious piece of chewy, crunchy candy, with chocolate. The name comes from the appearance; a terrapin looks somewhat like a turtle; you know, four legs, a head and a rounded shell. They are called different names in different parts of the country. Terrapins can also be called snappers, fiddlers, chewy crunchers, pixies, turtles, tootles and tortoises.
Terrapins of the chocolate variety always includes roasted nuts, chewy caramel and the crowning sweet, rich layer of chocolate. Some are completely covered in chocolate, others leave the nuts extending out to appear like legs.
The nuts are usually pecans, but some are made with almonds, macadamia nuts or cashews. The caramel is always fresh made, and chewy. The top layer of chocolate could be a rich milk chocolate, or even a decadent dark chocolate. I do eat terrapins, as often as I can.
