Hot Monkey Nuts Spicy Peanuts | Sour Screamin' Onion - Flavored with Sour Cream, Cheddar Cheese, Spices, Habanero & Jalapeño, 7.5oz Resealable Pouch, Non-GMO, Gluten Free

This review is for the "Black Widow's Bite" flavor. Seriously, "Got the guts, eat these nuts!" Great flavor, totally nailed the flavor profile advertised. If you're a spice freak like me, you will love deez nuts! Little high on the price side of things but I will definitely be buying these for a while!

OH MY GOD. I did not intend to open the portal of hell.I LOVE spicy stuff. I make KILLER chili that only I can handle... chocked full of fresh habaneros, and a mixture of other spicy peppers according to the scoville scale.At our local restaurant, I order the Demon Chicken sandwich and if the servers don't know you they ask your pain tolerance. Sure, at the end of the sandwich my nose is running and I'm sweating, but it tastes so damn good!!! I actually ask for extra demon sauce.So my husband let the kids pick out different Peanut flavors for my birthday. Both were OUTSTANDING... mild heat. I can handle it. Jamacian Me Sweat and the sour cream one... I forgot the name. Both FANTASTIC!So after I devour 2 bags and gain 2 pounds... I need more. I see a 4 out of 5 heat. I mean it can't be THAT bad.Holy Mother of Everything and Anything that EVER existed on planet earth. I must have blisters on my tongue. What in the nuclear warfare is this. Who double dogged dared you to create this tongue peanut atom bomb? Satan, himself came up and asked if I was ok... because apparently hell isn't as hot as my exploding taste buds. I needed to extinguish the flames, beer was a POOR choice. OMG... 100% the WRONG CHOICE.What does the 5 out of 5 heat bring? I mean I guess I could spontaneously combust... pretty sure that would be how I died... if I ate 5 out of 5.Do I recommend, 100% yes. The flavors are on point... but if you want to destroy your tongue, order the 5 out of 5.I triple dog dare ya.

Paid $17.09 (5% off coupon) for 2.I asked a question here earlier about the heat of these (Scoville Heat Units rating - SHU) and didn’t get a very good response. My non-scientific guess would be somewhere around 20-40k SHU rating, which isn’t quite hot enough for people looking for some real heat. Google SHU chart to see where some popular mainstream sauces are to gauge what you might like. For reference, if you think Frank’s or Tabasco is hot, then this might be too hot for you, as an example.With that said, these are spiced well and taste very good. They’re just too expensive for a very good, but not amazing product. If they were a lot hotter - like only able to eat a few at a time (for me) - I’d be buy more of these, because they’d last longer. I was able to eat maybe a dozen to get the heat buildup I wanted and that heat subsided within a few minutes. YMMV!For context, I’m the kind of guy who likes spicy heat, but not HOT heat without any flavor; ya know, stuff that’s literally just there to make you sweat and causes most of us to curse the gods. I find myself liking things in the lower 10s of thousands SHU. When I get spicy food (Thai, Indian, etc.) I usually go for 5-6/10, which is an incredibly variable reference, of course, so take that for what little it’s worth.A comparable heat would be the Yellowbird Ghost Pepper hot sauce or maybe even the Habanero (re: heat, not flavor). These nuts are also hotter and tastier than another nut I like, Blue Diamond Carolina Reaper, which is also not “X’TREME” as the label makes it seem. Those too are very tasty, but take about double or more eaten to equal the heat of these peanuts. The Blue Diamonds are less than half the cost and include almonds not peanuts, however. I personally like the texture of peanuts as much as almonds, so them being a cheaper nut doesn’t bother me. Again, it’s just hard to justify these nuts at this price. If you have money to spare; however, go for it! You won’t be disappointed!

I admit I was surprised to see the product had such high ratings after digging into the peanuts. Flavor is so-so, more salt than anything, lacking the kick of parm and garlic. Heat index OK, but the flavor I anticipated is just not there.Definitely not recommending, especially at this price! Even at a 50% price reduction, I would not find it much of a deal.Sorry to have to give a negative review, I really had high hopes for the product.

Hot Monkey Nuts were exactly what I was expecting! Hot and Sweet! I understand Hot Monkey Nuts is a business, but if they were a bit cheaper, I'd buy more! This is one product I don't have to share with my husband or adult children! I enjoy the taste of the habanero peppers and that they have the perfect taste of salt.

They have a good flavor and are good to snack on but they are not hot. I also don’t taste much curry flavor. Maybe slightly hotter than the planters hot peanuts. Anyone can eat these without any issue.

My brother-in-law and husband both really enjoy spicy anything. They both enjoyed all three flavors, stating "these are good". That's usually about as high a compliment you can get from both of them.

So I was excited to get these and I almost got two bags but i decided for their supposed 3x hot and it turns out its 0x hot. I wish i had spent my .oney on a hot sauce bottle instead of this. I wish I had just visited my local Mexican market and gotten a variety of snacks instead of spending the money here. My gf also said they werent hot at all and could eat the whole bag, and she doesnt like hot at all so if she can eat the whole bag that tells you how weak the flavor really is. I recommend getting Doritos spicy nacho. The bags are everywhere, they taste better and only cost a few bucks. SKIP THIS!
