Carolina Reaper Peanuts - Medium

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 love spicy food, but I often find because I’m a picky eater many spicy foods have a flavor I’m not a fan of. Or, more frustratingly, snacks that have good flavor that are labeled spicy barely qualify (see the Planter’s “Heat” peanuts which are maybe a hint of black pepper). So I am very happy that these peanuts not only are legitimately spicy (maybe an 8/10, at the end range of what I find enjoyable), but it has a very pleasant flavor as well. It starts off with a surprisingly sugary sweetness and builds very quickly to a slightly smoky and very spicy flavor.I also really enjoy the texture of the peanut. It doesn’t have the same crunch that your typical peanuts have - which is great, don’t get me wrong - but there’s a slightly softer, almost supple chew to it that I haven’t experienced elsewhere. It isn’t necessarily better that basic store bought peanuts, but it is worth mentioning.I appreciate the versatility that these peanuts offer. If I’m craving a sweat-inducing rush I will eat a small handful. If I want to spice up a different batch of peanuts that has a flavor I really like but not the spice, I can add a few of these into them (maybe doing a very rough chop). Sometimes I like blending a couple into a powder and adding it into my instant ramen to give it a punch.These aren’t quite the spiciest peanuts I’ve had (though pretty close), nor are they the tastiest (though they are good for a straightforward spicy snack), but they are an excellent product that I will happily get again.Expensive? Yes. Worth it? Yes.

These peanuts are HOTTTT!! Like, holding your head in your hands, screaming out primal caveman sounds as the fires consume your soul; but they are also very tasty. Seriously though, these are not for the faint of heart or weak of stomach. They are for people who are specifically looking for that pepper burn (or for crazy people looking for a challenge)The peanuts are quite large and satisfying to eat. A softer mouth feel then your standard crunchy peanuts. The burn starts off soft, then quickly stomps the gas to full inferno, then after about a minute or two slows to a nice hot simmer.You might ask yourself, why would I want to inflict this kind of pain on myself, why would anyone? well you feel REALLY good after eating a few of these, the pain subsides but the sublime happiness stays with you for a good half hour. you WILL enjoy these.

2nd purchase. Good prices. Hot and spicy so take your time with these bad boys.

I'm hooked and have been for a long time. These are the best hot peanuts on the market. Thank you blazing foods for this amazing product.

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!

this is a fantastic product.... Very large peanuts, pretty doggone hot, recommended for only people who like to chase that heat... These peanuts for the average person will be very, very hot, but to somebody who chases the heat and is used to hot things... This will be hot,.. but enjoyable and flavorful. Be careful popping these peanuts in your mouth and inhaling at the same time... You will be surprised. The vapors will get you coming off the peanut... :-) I bought this bag of peanuts to try to raise my tolerance.... So I could eventually try the Tube of Terror... peanut challenge which is Johnny Scoville's product on the YouTube channel Chase The Heat. These peanuts are very hot and very, very good tasting...

I can only eat a few at a time they are so hot these are so delicious sweet and spicy

Really delicious but not as hot as i expected. Eating five or so peanuts was similar to eating one or two thai red chilis for me.
