Who's Murtle?
Murtle is the name of our most popular sweet. It's a Mini-Turtle, a 'Murtle'! When it came time to name the store (which is not a fun task) we tossed out several names like Holiday's Chocolates, Owosso Candy Company, Murtle's Turtle's & Treats (which sounded like a pet store). Finally we landed on Murtle's Handmade Chocolates.

We opened Murtle's with the intention of providing a service and product to the community that was unique and different, a place where memories could be made. Murtle's is a cozy little shop filled with chocolates, candies and treats for everyone. We wanted the space to be memorable and not just a store where you buy sweets. We added several funky, kitschy things to our store to make it aesthetically pleasing to the eye.

​The front of our famous handmade counter is made out of recycled pallet boards and the top of the counter is made entirely of candy and took us eight days to glue down. Yes, eight days!  

Our amazing mural is one of my favorite pieces in the shop! I purchased the digital art from a guy in Germany who said it was too small to be used as a mural. Well thanks to a cool gal name Bianca in Florida I was able to get my mural made and she was so kind to make it twice because the first one got lost in the mail and is sitting at the dead mail center in Georgia! 

Our antique stove is a borrowed piece of history from Clare, MI. It's fun and funky and still has the old hunks of wood inside.

We have an Autograph Wall. It started with Tom Selleck because my mother-in-law loves him so much I decided to surprise her by writing to him and asking for a photo. Then it got to be fun and we added Dr. Pol, Betty White, Tim Allen, Judge Judy, Deana Martin, Dick Van Dyke and Robert Redford!  

And throughout the store you will see sparkly pieces of art from my favorite artist and friend, Amy Povinelli. Her work is amazing and brings enjoyment to all who see it.
