The Heat: you would expect a Carolina Reaper product to be super hot. Sadly, the peanuts fall very short of being classified super hot. If you were to have a blind taste test, I would bet that most people would think that they were made with Jalapenos, arguably a Thai/Birdseye chili. What I like about the heat is that it's the subtle kind that doesn't punch you in the throat. It's enjoyable, and that ties in really well with the taste.
The Taste: I've had peanuts coated in sugar and honey before. Usually I'd classify them as good, but the flavour of these peanuts just harmonizes so well with the subtle and enjoyable heat. This is really the only reason that I gave these peanuts a 3/5.
Overall: A tasty product, but if they're going to advertise the use of Carolina Reapers, then they need to amp up the spice. It's likely why the Carolina Reaper is the 2nd last ingredient.
