The Death Nut Challenge Version 2.0 Carolina Reaper Peanuts new and improved with better flavor, crunch, pepper blends including Ghost Pepper, Moruga Scorpion!

If you like hot food, this should do the trick. I was impressed with the quality of the nuts. Very fresh and large nuts. Yeah, I know. I said large nuts in my review. At any rate, bag one, in my opinion should be packaged and sold as a standalone spicy peanut product. So much flavor with a really nice heat. I hated to see them go. Bag 2 and 3 were just as tasty while picking up in heat. Still very doable. I ate the whole bag at once with this challenge. Bag 4 is where this gets serious. Still great flavor and quality in nuts. I’ve never reviewed nuts before. So much innuendo. I’m struggling to control myself. Bag 5? Jesus Christ! No taste at all. Nuclear!! Lava!! This is the “bag” that tells a man that “nuts” don’t belong in your mouth. I made it through the challenge, but my God, this was brutal. Folks? Buy these. Great fun. Great product. It was an honor to put these nuts in my mouth.

Make sure you eat something first to help protect your stomach!Level 1, despite being labeled "mild", is more like "hot". Nothing scary but this is definitely a surprise - hotter than you'd expect right off the bat. Usually, as a spice/chili-head, things labeled "mild" are more about flavor than heat, but I definitely felt the heat on these.Level 2 actually feels easier than Level 1. Tasted alright, but otherwise sort of forgetful. Maybe it's supposed to lull you into a false sense of security? Who knows. Either way, it's the easiest level. This might be closer to what I'd call "mild." I wonder if it would make more sense to switch Levels 1 and 2? Or maybe the heat from Level 1 made it easier to tolerate Level 2 and it needs to be a bit hotter?Level 3 is very hot - tingling, burning, sweating, etc. Definitely where most people would go "dang, this is hot" but maybe not enough to scare you from trying Level 4.Level 4, as predicted, hurts quite a lot - double the Carolina Reaper content of Level 3. It's extremely hot. At this point I'm making occasional, pained exhaling / grunting noises due to the pain in the throat and the insane burning in the mouth. This level is quite uncomfortable and it's at this point you'll probably start to seriously consider tapping out. Level 5 no longer seems like a question you want answered, and you may feel a little scared to proceed. I had to force myself to not think about it too much and just YOLO it.Level 5 is an exponential jump over Level 4 due to the 13-million capsaicin crystal. It's sort of hard to put into words how hot it is. During Level 4, at least I could maintain general composure, and I could still talk. But with Level 5, I was hunched down on the countertop making all sorts of noise, drooling like crazy, mouth and throat ablaze, face sweating profusely. The endorphin rush was fierce. I couldn't feel my fingertips, and I could sense twinges of pins and needles up my arms - it was that hot. I kept looking over at the clock trying to ride out the five minutes, and it felt like an eternity.But once those five minutes were up, I immediately downed a full glass of milk and then quickly poured myself a second one to sip at slowly every time the pain flared back up. It took some time, I want to say 10 minutes, but eventually the pain subsided to the point where I could walk around and talk again with a manageable amount of discomfort.However, with all that milk + capsaicin still in my system, I proceeded to have pretty epic, spicy dumps throughout the next 48 hours.Despite the discomfort, I had fun and thought it was appropriate for a spice challenge -- if it weren't tough, it wouldn't be much of a challenge! 10/10 from me.

I absolutely love and crave spicy heat. I am someone that has done The One Chip Challenge and my only complaint, its just one chip. I want a bag of them. I tend to stray away from spicy food challenges because I love spicy heat for pure enjoyment. I am not into “eating with rules, time limits, specific quantities…”I had little to no hope buying this- I really thought they would taste horrible with significant heat or taste great and have little to no heat. I was pleasantly surprised. I didn’t eat each bag in order like it says, instead, just 2-3 nuts from each bag. (If I was going to grab a few nuts to snack on- I usually wouldn’t take more than 10-15). I did start with the levels. It took time for the heat to build but, once I had nuts from each bag, loved the burn. It was absolutely perfect, not intolerable, just a perfect balance of heat, sweet, salty flavor. I ended up mixing all the nuts together in a small dish to snack on throughout the day.I then went onto their website, liked their social media pages and placed a $75 order for the reaper seasoning and other reaper snacks. I am so excited to find a company that makes incredible tasting food with the spicy kick it promises.
