Hey Nelson! Ready for the long weekend? 👑

We’ll be down at The Nelson Market this weekend, roasting up some seriously good snacks to see you through King's Birthday.

If you’re heading to the market, make sure to swing by and say hi! We’ll have a fresh batch of our award-winning Sea-Salted Caramelised Almonds🏅 ready to go (the perfect excuse to treat yourself to a "Perfect Snack!").

We're also bringing our cosy Gingerbread Spiced🏅 and Cinnamon Spiced Almonds🥈, plus all the classics - freshly roasted Hazels, Cashews, and regular Almonds made right there on the spot (and award winning too!)

Whether you're looking for a gift or just need some top-tier snacking for your weekend adventures, we've got you sorted.

See you there! 🥜😊

We are so lucky to have stockists in such beautiful spots! Today we were out in Mapua, Tasman, tucked right on the edge of the inlet. If you haven't visited the Mapua Wharf recently, it is the ultimate spot to slow down with ocean views and amazing energy.

We popped in to see the team at Rabbit Island Coffee. They roast their own coffee in-house and carry a fantastic range of goods from across New Zealand. We think there is no better combo than their fresh house roasts paired with our award-winning caramelised nuts! We love seeing our products on the shelves alongside other epic Kiwi producers. Tasman truly punches above its weight for world-class scenery and products.

Next time you are exploring the region, make sure to pay them a visit!

We’re back at The Nelson Market this weekend, and we’ve got something huge to celebrate! 🎉

This is our very first market back since Nutty D'Lites picked up three medals at the Outstanding Food Producer Awards! We are absolutely stoked to have brought home two Golds and a Silver for our caramelised almonds.

There is nothing quite like the smell and crunch of our nuts freshly roasted and caramelised right there at the stall. If you haven't tasted a Gold-medal-winning crunch yet, this is the perfect weekend to treat yourself.

Come on down to the market, say hi, and try a sample of the winning recipe for yourself. We can't wait to celebrate with you all, see you there! 🥜✨

Tomorrow, we’ll be taking a quiet morning to pause, remember, and enjoy some time with family. Because our team is taking the long weekend off to recharge, we won’t be at our usual market spots this weekend.

We know many of you have your weekend routines, so if you’re missing your caramelised nut fix while we’re away from the stall, we’ve set up a little something online. Use the code OUTSTANDING for 10% off any of our 150g award-winning packs this weekend, available now through until Monday night at 11:59 pm.

Our way of saying thanks for supporting local, even when we aren’t there in person.

Wishing you all a peaceful and safe ANZAC weekend.

We made the news! 📰🥜

We are still pinching ourselves after the Outstanding Food Producer Awards, and today we woke up to find our story in The Nelson Mail l!

From our early days at the markets to moving into our commercial kitchen at Bridge Street Studios, it’s been an incredible journey. We are so proud to bring a taste of traditional European "Gebrannte Mandeln" to Nelson with a Kiwi twist, and even prouder that our Sea-Salted Caramel and Gingerbread Spiced almonds took home GOLD! 🥇🥇

Huge thanks to our amazing local community for supporting us every weekend at The Nelson Market and Motueka Sunday Market. We couldn’t have done it without you.

We are absolutely over the moon! 🥇🥇🥈 Nutty D’Lites has just taken home TWO Golds and a Silver at the 2026 Outstanding Food Producer Awards!

Our Sea-Salted Caramel Almonds and Gingerbread Spiced Almonds both won Gold (with the judges calling the Sea-Salted Caramel a “perfect snack!”), while our Cinnamon Spiced Almonds picked up a Silver.

Crafting these artisan snacks here in Nelson takes a lot of early mornings and careful caramelising, so seeing them recognised by some of New Zealand's top food experts means the world to us.

A massive thank you to everyone who grabs a bag at the markets or orders online. We couldn't do it without you! 💛
