Macadamia nuts can be found here in just about all flavors imaginable. From Spam flavored, to chocolate covered, salted, garlic and onion, the flavor list goes on. What's even better news is that they're all available to sample for free. In addition, candy corn, brittles and candy corn can all be sampled too.
Those planning to take home macadamia nuts as a souvenir can pick up gifts here too, with prices similar to those at the grocery store. While exploring and sampling you can also watch the inner workings of the factory through a glass window. Don't forget to crack a mac nut yourself at one of the interactive stations before leaving.
