About

Our Story

Nutty Novelties was founded in 2012 at the Lansdale Farmers’ Market with the original concept of a Build-Your-Own Trail Mix Bar. On the advice of a friend when trail mixes weren’t working out, we started playing around with some natural nut butters.

By 2014 we moved exclusively to pre-packaged nut butters, added more farmers’ markets and began wholesaling our product to high-end, locally-minded retailers.

We’ve continued to experiment with recipes to this day, now with a line comprising of 18 different varieties, all with the philosophy in mind to keep them high in protein, low in sugar, all natural and made by hand, by US, right in Telford PA. Our flavor profiles are designed to be nutty first (after all, nuts are delicious and great for you), with just enough flavor in the fun ones to keep you coming back, without adding too much sugar.

If you’re wondering where to start we might recommend our Classic Peanut Butter, available both smooth and Crunchy, or the Dark Chocolate Almond Butter, our healthy Nutella alternative!

Who We Are

Caleb Mangum
Caleb founded the company in 2012, originally as a famers’ market experiment. He’s a 2006 graduate of Souderton Area HS (about 1 mile from our production facility!), and a 2010 graduate of Temple University (psych major, for the record). Caleb does a little bit of everything at Nutty Novelties but his main role now is overseeing our wholesale operations and, as he’s dubbed it, “dispatch” for our delivery routes.

Caleb is married to the amazing Mary Mangum and is so proud to be a father to 3 amazing kids, now 8, 5 and 4 years old. It's busy at his house! He loves playing pickup basketball and is very active in their church, The Renew Community of Lansdale.
Jesse Mangum
While Jesse's primary role is Sales Director, don't be surprised if you also see him making a delivery on the road, selling at a farmers market, or wearing a hair net mixing the next batch of Wild Espresso Peanut Butter.

Jesse is married to his lovely wife Katie, who can also be found slinging nut butters at markets and events, or wrangling their 2 (soon to be 3!) small children.
