Life doesn't get any better than receiving wonderful Valentine treats from Half Nuts ~ the greatest candy store EVER!! The packages of candy were carefully wrapped and boxed and came all the way to Spring, Texas ~ just as if I had picked them up in the store. Thank you Half Nuts! You're the BEST! read more

I felt like a kid in a candy store... I've visited a few times, it's always enjoyable, quick and easy. It's smaller sized but packs a punch with the wide variety of things that they have from candies, nuts, jelly beans, and more! They also have various limited edition candies for the holidays. I find their prices very fair and great values compared to regular stores. They often have candies that you can't find in store either. Not pictured but they had cute tins you can buy and put candies or chocolates in for an additional price. The staff are always very friendly too! I hear the owners/family has very deep history in Milwaukee as well! read more

See all

This store is a gem, they have all types of candy. I came here to find Seroogys chocolate meltaway bars if you know me everyone knows l love chocolate. They have coupons you can find in the Sunday or Wednesday paper or if you like their page on facebook. It's really easy to get to. I will be back. read more

Half Nuts - Our candy haul (most from the $5.99/lb mix&match bins) - Candy Stores Near Me - West Allis, Wisconsin

Love this place! Great selection of old time favorites and popular chocolates too. The staff is nice. Great layout.

Half Nuts has been around forever but yesterday was my first time. We were in search of hard candy for MIL and we found a tremendous variety . Not just flavors like mint, root beer, butterscotch but pretty much everything - even things like huckleberry and clove flavors. There are seriously a million kinds of candy here - from nostalgic to the latest. Prices are very reasonable and the staff is lovely. read more

Great selection and reasonable prices. Staff is very helpful and brings back memories of candy stores of the past. You can order online read more

Don't have any pictures to share, but it is a small store that looks like Willy Wonka on steroids. There are so many varieties of candy. I love that there are sweets from every era of my life. Many years ago, this was my go-to place when I bought chocolate cigars to hand out when we had our children. The chocolate was good then and is good now. I'm not a fan of cheap chocolate, so Half Nuts does not disappoint. It can get crowded, especially close to a holiday, but if you grab a number, they will happily help you with your sweet or salty (lots of nuts) needs. If you're looking for a wide variety of treats, this is the place to go. read more

I have visited this store on two different times. The gals are not friendly and very condescending when I asked a question about their product. The candies very old and stale. The cashews we purchased was not fresh at all. Overpriced and this place should be more like a dollar tree. If I could do no stars I would. Buyer beware ware! read more

I always love going to this store. It has an excellent variety of candy and other confectionery wonders. Customer service is always a plus. They had a saltwater taffy of a dill pickle that I was questioning and the store clerk let me try it before I bought it. It was actually good. One of my favorite candy stores to go to. read more

Love this place. Great selection of candy and nuts/trail mix type items. Went there to pick up a few things to create a charcuterie board and left with all sorts of goodies. Everyone loved the selection of goodies on the board. read more

What you'd expect. Bulk nuts and candy, and classic candy bars. Nice helpful staff. Unfortunately all the chocolate has dairy in it though. They were the best at enforcing mask-wearing that I have seen in months. As I was looking at the rice crackers, someone walked in without a mask and they kicked him out. The wouldn't even let him enter. Good for them. Anyway, worth a try for some bulk nuts, if you're in the area. read more

They have a wonderful selection of candy. Almost anything you can think of is here. The prices are reasonable as well. The inside is a bit cramped feeling because the aisles to walk are not very wide but they are still easily navigated. read more

Great Store!! Lots of nostalgia candy and new candy never seen before! Will definitely go back.

WHAT A GEM! I did not realize I had such a fantastic candy store so close to my house. They have literally anything you could imagine wanting. Only like banana Runts? You can buy them in bulk. Looking for gummies that are shaped like sunny side up eggs? They have them. Everything from Necco wafers to Harry Potter chocolate frogs. Oh, and like a million different flavors of jelly beans. When I was there, there was a group of people who drove in from Minnesota because this was the closest place to them that stocked a particular candy they like! I love that it's a small mom & pop shop. I will continue to support this business. read more

Solid 3.5 star experience. Reminds me of how Illinois Nut company started out in Chicago. With a small store front but a more than ample offering of assorted candies both new and old, jellybeans and jellies, chocolates, nuts and more. I was dropping off a family member at the airport nearby and had some time to kill. I walked in thinking I would be spending a few dollars on nuts and maybe a taste of chocolate. However my father was with me and once he saw the assorted jellies, gummy bears and offering of Cadbury chocolates his desires got the best of him. I should note that with using a smart phone to check in via the Yelp app you can score $2 dollars off a $10 dollar purchase or $5 dollars from $25. These offers have expiry dates by the way and may not be available for long. As far as cost I thought most candies and chocolates were priced okay. Nuts were as costly as what you'd expect at a supermarket. There were some assorted nuts, pistachios & chex mix like varieties of snacks on special. Those that are on special are better priced than an average grocery. Most of their snacks can be purchased by weight, so that is a plus. The nut shop has parking and shares it with a beauty salon on its side. read more

Always have a great time with my son and nephews and nieces great candy selection I love the gummy rats here great store 5 stars

Great selection. All of my wife's favorites are here. One of the few places with good options for people who are not fans of chocolate. They have lots of chocolate offerings too. read more

This was a real nice little place. They have a large variety of chocolate, hard candy, chewy candy and packaged candy. I was the first one to use the check-in Yelp coupon. The ladies werereally nice and personable. Stop by to get your sugar rush filled. Good prices too! read more

These folks rock and have an amazing sampling of candy. Current day to retro stuff i haven't seen in years. Service is great and will be back! read more

Great store with almost everything you can imagine, clean and very informative on products of the past, if they can they will get. I picked up the old Giant bars and whipped cream eggs, taffy in so many flavors. Their nuts are also great! A must go to store if you love nuts candy and good, excellent service. read more

Good selection of mainstream candy. I was from out of town and looking for something I would only find I Wisconsin, and there was only one selection. Staff was very helpful, and prices were reasonable, but I wasn't thrilled with the lack of uniqueness. read more

Half Nuts not only has great customer service but also hard to find candy at a great price. Their web site is very detailed and has pricing information. Great for parties or special occasions. Don't miss the dark chocolate covered orange sticks! They also will give samples with their huge selection of bulk candy, nuts and dried fruit. I'm also grateful for their longer hours. read more

We love this place! We have been coming here for years. The selection and prices make if worth the drive across the county. Great customer service too! read more

I love this place. I am a candy addict and they have everything. I threw a baby shower for my best friend, and one woman recommended sixlets in pink and silver instead of M&ms. Such a hit, I've gone back to get red, white, and blue for work federal holidays. My mom and aunt love their licorice, my sister loves their sour patch kids. They are ridiculously cheap compared to most candy stores. Williams-Sonoma sour candy is $15/lb, thy average $2-5. Two years ago a slight mishap happened with shipping. I called and the store wound up charging me way less bc of the computer error. Good customer service goes a long way. I love this place. I ordered $25 worth of candy today, about 10 lbs, and I'm super excited for the delivery. read more

Amazing service. My ma told me how well she was treated last week on a delivery order she placed. The lady at Half Nuts went above and beyond contemporary customer service and treated her with exceptional respect and honored her requests. When ever I travel through Milwaukee I will for sure stop and check this place out!!! I can't wait. I thought about waiting to try the candy that was ordered for my dad, but it is unlikely any will be left by the time I get there. Bryon Pelzek read more

Mary runs a tight ship and her staff is knowledgeable and friendly! Awesome combination. Half Nuts is part candy museum and part candy store. My sons, of course were stunned by all of the candy and couldn't seem to take it all in. My husband and I meanwhile were like 2 kids, well you know the rest. Lots of "oh my gosh, remember these?" and "I can't believe they still make these". And all the while, the 2 ladies behind the counter answered questions about the offerings. Great experience, we will be back again! Good time, great treats! read more

I am updating my review. The owner is very nice, went above and beyond what most businesses would do to make sure her customer is satisfied, because of this I will be back. :) read more

Excellent service and attention to details. My order was complicated by the Texas heat, but I was advised on the best(and coolest) way to ship so I received my package in good shape. The products are delicious! It is hard to find sugar-free dark chocolate marshmallows. Happy customer. Great company. K. Hanley read more

I was very surprised to see all that Half Nuts had to offer. Went on a coworker's recommendation, and I can see why she's so excited about this quaint candy store. I bought a wasabi snack mix, walnuts, some pecan turtles and various candy for my husband, and we thoroughlly enjoyed each selection. Really reasonable prices from what I can tell. read more

Decided to give it another shot, after my last visit (even though i said i wouldn't). Can't figure out why i tried it again, the candy wasn't stale this time. I was lied to about the flavors of some of the hard candies i got though. No more. read more

Just found out they have the original Ziegler bar. Same as it used to be, just thicker. They were, if anything even better than I remembered. Have not had one in 50 years. I thought they were all gone. Well worth the trip! read more

Cute place with lots of older brand candies. But.. it was all stale! My chocolate had turned white (they were wrapped truffles) and the gummies were so hard I couldn't chew them! read more

I am not from Milwaukee but came across this little gem while looking for specialized chocolates and candies. They have a very large selection including sugar free options. Prices were good and samples are given if you need to try something new. Great stop! read more

This place was great! I got a pound of frooties for $4, which is an amazing deal. I also took advantage of the coupon, $2 off $10 that was offered. There was a great selection, lots of familiar brands with less common flavors. Great selection of taffy as well! Will be back read more

One of the last good candy stores around. Lots of new types and yet they offer the regular favorites. Handmade chocolates and prepackaged items are both available. They are always very nice and helpful. Store could be updated a bit but other than that they are a great choice for candy and nuts. read more

I went into Half Nuts over the busy holiday season and was very impressed with the operation. I was expecting it to be busy (and it was!), but the service was excellent. The staff greeted me immediately when I arrived and they helped me locate many of the items that I was looking for. When more customers entered the location, other staff were quickly on the scene to help them. The quality of the packaging and the products is top notch. It is much better than the nuts and candy you find in bins at the grocery store for sure! The prices seemed very competitive with overall value that exceeded my expectations. The web site is very complete with high quality photos of their vast inventory and the ability to order product online. This is definitely the one stop shop for those wanting to buy candy or nuts for family and friends! read more

I firmly believe in supporting local as much as possible and Half / Nuts is definitely a place I'm happy to support. Very helpful, pleasant customer service here. Perhaps quite literally the best candy selection you could ever ask for. There are things here I've never even heard of before! Examples: I had no clue m&m's came in specialty colors nor had I ever heard of "hot" candy before. I'm not of the age that recalls the classic candy shoppes from back in the day but I envision this store is exactly that. They do special orders on ocassion, offer gift boxes and delivery right on their website. They offer candy, seeds, nuts and ice cream. It is by far the most delicious store around - and I'm not that big of a "sweets" person. Re: staleness; I've found very rarely this is the case & it can be disheartening should you encounter it but you have to remember some items may not be as popular as others and may stick around a bit longer than they should. Having said that, the easiest way to avoid this is if you're unsure simply ask for one tiny sample. I only tend to do so if something is new to me, personally. Tl;dr I'm a fan! read more

What a fun store! My Mom had suggested looking into Half Nuts when I was planning my wedding. My husband and I wanted a candy bar that featured our colors. I wanted a wide selection & that's what I got. The staff was friendly & helpful when I had a million questions about how much to buy, what types of candy are popular for weddings, etc. I checked pricing online at various online retailers before I went in ... Half Nuts was very competitive & I like shopping local when I can. All you brides-to-be should check out this store! read more
