Turtles, the original caramel nut cluster, is bringing its signature flavors to the beverage bar this winter with the debut of Turtles Hot Cocoa, a creamy cocoa inspired by the brand’s iconic chocolate, caramel, and pecan profile. The limited-time beverage rolls out early February exclusively at approximately 4,800 Circle K locations across the U.S.

Turtles is extending beyond the candy aisle —bringing the same indulgent flavors to a warm, cozy beverage. Just as Turtles’ recently-launched “It’s Slow Good” brand campaign encourages consumers to take time to slow down in our fast-paced world, Turtles Hot Cocoa gives yet another reason to slow down and savor a delicious treat. This rich, nutty cocoa is also made to be enjoyed slowly, and is best enjoyed when paired with a Turtles caramel nut cluster.

“In every cup, we wanted to deliver the unmistakable Turtles experience—perfectly balanced and best enjoyed slow…,” said Ahad Afridi, Chief Marketing Officer, pladis North America. “We’re thrilled to make a sippable Turtles treat available to Circle K customers looking for a warm pick-me-up during the winter season.”

This collaboration underscores the growing trend of indulgent beverages in convenience retail, offering consumers a unique way to enjoy iconic flavors on the go. By pairing Turtles heritage with Circle K’s expansive footprint, the partnership delivers a premium experience that transforms everyday beverage breaks into moments worth savoring.

"At Circle K, we are always exploring opportunities to bring exciting beverage flavors and innovation to our stores for customers," said Shawn Barnes, Head of Dispensed Beverages, North America at Circle K. "Our exclusive partnership for Turtles Hot Cocoa provides that with nostalgic, decadent candy flavor in every cup, and reinforces our commitment to delivering unique experiences for our customers."

Turtles Hot Cocoa will be available for a limited time, beginning early February, only at Circle K.
