The Nifty Nut House is one of those secret places that only locals know about. I think I lived in Wichita for at least three years before I somehow passed an unknown test and was finally given the information and directions. However, it is the first thing I tell people who are new to town. I'm sure they think that I'm completely bizarre ("Hi, it's so nice to meet you. Have you heard of the Nifty Nut House? You must go..."), but as soon as they make the pilgramage they become instant converts.
Of course the mainstay of the Nifty Nut House business (established in 1937) is nuts. They have every kind of nut you could want: roasted, raw, salted, plan, mixed, separate, etc. It's the reason they call it the Nut House. In addition, they also dip most of the aforementioned nuts in a variety of chocolates. Not limited to almonds or peanuts, the NNH serves up chocolate covered Brazil nuts (light and dark), dark chocolate covered pistachios and an array of bridge mixes. Of course, one of the heights of their confectionary wizardry is the double-chocolate-dipped peanuts the size of one of those $.25 gumballs. Absolutely, unbelievably amazing!
Besides the nuts and chocolate goodies, they have about every kind of candy you could possible want, including a great selection of sugar-free. They don't have on-line ordering, but you can call and they'll send you things through the mail--but not chocolate during the warm weather. Just ask and they'll fax you a list of products. (oh! And sesame sticks which they have in plain, cheese and sour cream flavors plus a sesame stick snack mix.) And if you're passing through Wichita (for whatever reason), it's worth pulling off the highway for, believe me.
