My FavoritesInformation
The Nut House is your home for sweet treats serving Peoria and the surrounding area for over 100 years.
The phrase “kid in a candy store” is now expanded to include adults, as both young and old can always find something to delight them. With colorful rows of confections, chocolates, nuts, sweet covered things, ice cream cones to hard candy filled jars and fresh made roasted nuts and popcorn to draw you inside for an experience that brings back memories or creates new ones.
Visit us on Main Street or look for us with our sister business, Jane’s Sweet Addictions, where you can find us shaking up fresh squeezed lemonade, roasting nuts or sampling our homemade fudge. Whether it’s a concert along the Riverfront, a soccer tournament, or craft show in just about any location in Central Illinois, you most likely will find us. Search our calendar on Facebook to find an event near you.
Call us to ask about special orders for your special event!
