ASS KICKIN’ Habanero Pepper Spicy Hot Peanuts – 12oz - Perfect Premium Hot and Spicy Peanuts - Ultimate Spicy Snack Gourmet Gift Hottest Peanuts - Try if you dare!

Update after finishing my first tin: they grew on me a lot; so much so that I added them to my subscription orders. I do still think some other reviews underplayed the heat, however it is something you get used to after a couple snack sittings (and as you do, the honey taste becomes more noticeable.) Whether you're actively seeking out a hot snack, or (like me) you enjoy some spice but aren't sure you can take the heat of these... I recommend giving them a shot. If they're a bit unenjoyably painful at first but you don't absolutely hate them, just keep trying a few at a time and you might find they grow on you, too. --- Initial review: these are pretty good, and I think they live up to their branding... That is to say that I got them expecting that they'd only be moderately spicy based on other reviews, and as someone who can take the heat but doesn't typically seek it out, I don't think these could be reasonably made much spicier while remaining enjoyable to anyone but the masticating masochist. All told, I enjoy them as a novelty-seeking snack. HOT peanut is absolutely the primary flavor, with notes of salt and then some sweetness, and the heat definitely builds (I had tears on my face as I wrote this. 😂) Knowing that they are indeed meant to be quite hot, my sole gripe is that I wish that the sweetness was more prominent.

I absolutely love these peanuts. I purchased these thinking, well maybe they will be too hot or punishingly spicy but they are the perfect amount of REAL HOT for snacking. My son and I enjoy spicy things and we push the limit with super hot things and have really enjoy other brands of Ghost Pepper peanuts, we decided to try something hotter. Flavor 10/10! As you crunch down on a few peanuts the crunch/crisp is real pronounced and the honey sweetness is the first flavor I got. Then a mildly salty flavor, and the heat comes after you chew and swallow. The heat isn't EXTREME like a carolina reaper pepper but it builds to a very nice level of pleasure/pain. Overall the taste is extremely flavorful and delicious!!! Heat 6/10 The heat isn't extreme but it does build and it creeps. What i mean by that is that it isn't bad until your second handful or when you stop eating them then you start to feel it. I got a bit of a brow sweat and a good mouth tingle/salivation but it's nothing like the pepper or hot sauces made with Carolina Reapers. For the average Joe, these may be upper threshold of being able to eat as a snack on the daily. Effects: Mild brow sweat, 5 minutes of lingering mouth burn, and I am personally susceptible to capsacian cramping, but it really didn't bother me, even on an empty stomach. No milk or water was needed. Value 7/10 I can't give this a 10 because the price point for what you get is kind of steep. I realize these aren't everyday snacks for everyday people but at 13 bones for 12oz ...yeah it's worth it for the experience and they are DARN GOOD, maybe even the best peanuts I have had, but the price point will hold me back. If they were 8-10 a can, I would be much more apt to continue purchasing them as an indulgent snack justified by "Because Dad likes and it's his money!" I would recommend these to anyone that loves spicy foods. Again, they are probably the tastiest and most delicious peanuts I have ever had. Overall 9/10

I ordered the habanero peanuts, hoping for a little kick. I've tried some other spice nuts from different brands with mixed results. Unfortunately, while these nuts have a very nice flavor, they are in no way ass kicking. Habaneros can sometimes bring the heat, but these are mild. If you are an experienced spicy eater, these are going to probably be below your expectations. Again, these peanuts taste quite good. But the heat isn't there. I'd recommend trying one of the spicier ones to see if they have any real kick.

These aren't crazy hot but they do have a good snackin' heat, and the honey aftertaste is really great after the sizzle. If you're looking for some pretty spicy peanuts but don't want them to be novelty hot, these are really great. I used to buy another brand of ghost pepper peanuts that went out of business and those were mega novelty hot. and while I did enjoy popping a few in my mouth here and there, it was more just to get a good burn and I couldn't eat more than one or two in passing. so overall if your spicy tolerance is average, these are going to give you some sniffles and warmth to the face after a good handful... but be pleasant to really get your snack on. flavor is on point. seasoning is perfect. if your spicy tolerance is reaaally low, they will probably be just a little too spicy for you but you wont regret trying them to see or anything.... like you're not going to hate and chug milk or anything like that.

Bought for friends who love Carolina Reaper hotness. They said the taste was good, but they aren’t hot.

Love them the pickle flavor is great and they are not too spice. Will buy again.

These peanuts are terrible. First off, they are 'dry roasted' , secondly, they aren't hot one bit. Planters HOT peanuts are hotter, and they aren't very hot.

Tasty peanuts but not much cheddar or jalapeño flavor. Very mild on both.
