Carolina Reaper Peanuts - Mild

I bought these as a gift for my daughter. She loved them so much, I bought this second batch. She told me she didn't like the sweet/hot nuts I'd previously purchased as they sweet cut the heat. These were much better.

Okay; here’s the deal: THE FIVE STARS ARE FOR HEAT AND HEAT ALONE. For anyone who loves heat, these nuts bring it (I routinely cook with ghost and reaper) BUT...they are a let down when it comes to a well rounded crisp and a layer of flavors. What I mean: the texture of these nuts is of a boiled peanut as opposed to a roasted, and the flavor is two dimensional; heat and sweet with no in between. I tried these as an alternative to another brand which has the same degree of heat with less obvious sweet and many layers of savory, smoked flavor in between. I prefer the other brand for heat and flavor balance, but I will absolutely order these again when my first choice is unavailable or if they continue to raise their prices and encourage anyone reading this to try this brand; just know going in there is a dimension of a flavor layer that is missing but for heat junkies wanting a snack to scratch the itch or to chill while you sip, these nuts are both suitable and enjoyable.

5 stars for heat, but my spice LOVING children ate ONE EACH and the flavor was fine at first but then the ACID HEAT HIT, one of my children started SOBBING she drank almost a FULL GALLON of milk and still is crying, my other two children that have a better spice tolerance than ME A ADULT MALE and their face went red and there face started sweating! It DID NOT have a good flavor it tasted like when you THROW UP IN YOUR MOUTH, a sweet but horrible flavor

I got these recently. I wanted a genuinely spicy snack. These aren’t terribly spicy, but they have a really good kick in them. If you do not have a strong spice tolerance these will be very very hot for you.On the palate, there’s a sugar coated glaze on the peanuts, followed by a strong reaper / scorpion flavor. You definitely taste the pepper in these.Going down, you get that reaper burn in the back of your throat and the linger afterward.These would be perfect if you want something to wake you up. Chase The Heat calls these “diet peanuts”, I agree. If you need portion control and love really spicy things, these would be perfect for you. They’re hot enough to where you can have a few, feel the burn for about 10-15 minutes, then go back for more.I wouldn’t eat these by the handful, unless you know you can handle it and just want to eat the whole bag lol.Very tasty!

I generally love spicy foods, though I am not one to just eat pepper pods or drink the hottest hot sauces straight from the bottle but I love some good heat when its properly mixed in with certain foods(Mexican food). These (wild) are EXTREMELY HOT! I was not expecting these to be as hot as they are. I was expecting something along the lines of Paqui's Hanted Ghost Pepper Chips which still made me sweat a bit and were pretty damn hot but not too the point needing milk to handle, Those I would recommend to anyone just starting out but these Wild Peanuts, NO WAY! I read the reviews on here and only ate 1 (ONE!) to start with and that was all it took. My mouth was on FIRE for the first 5 minutes with sweat pouring down my face and having to drink about 16oz of milk in small gulps to alleviate the heat. The heat lingers on the tongue for about 10-15 minutes after swallowing. I would not recommend these if you are just getting into hot foods because these are WAY TOO HOT for the average person. I would say these are WAY TOO HOT for even some Chili Heads though I am sure Johnny Scoville(ChaseTheHeat) could probably eat 1 bag but he would probably sweat a bit. These are probably going to sit in the pantry for a long while though I am sure I will use some in future recipes(I'm thinking homemade Peanut Butter Cups with 99.9% normal peanuts and .1% of these to start with) for a kick. P.S Also, If you've been thinking about getting the Death Nut Challenge v2.0, Don't! Just buy these (Wild) instead, it's cheaper and you get an entire bag instead of like 15 nuts. I dare anyone stupid enough to eat an entire bag of these in one sitting and film it! Good Luck!

Finally a snack that is actually spicy! They have a sweet flavor to them followed by a quick kick from the reaper! Definitely be careful with them. My only complaint is the price is a little on the high end.

So off the bat, for my current level, which is habanero is my jalapeno, bw's blazin and wing stop atomic are hot but manageable, these are still uncomfortably spicy (thats a good thing) my only complaint is the flavor is a bit lacking. I think it could use a little tang from some lime or maybe some salt. I had some leftovers camping and put together a saltine cracker, topped with peanut butter, 2-3 of these peanuts, topped with marie sharps smoked habanero sauce. and those were dope. probably ate 30 or so of these in that meal. so they arent like an eat one nut and done sorta hot. and again they really benefit from some additional flavors to make them more tasty. still a nice snack and would buy again.
