7-Select Flavored Jumbo Peanuts Ghost Pepper

Taste test: Ghost Pepper is known as one of the hottest peppers on earth, and the picture on the bag showed some flames alongside the sliced-open ghost pepper, so I knew to expect some heat with this one. Most of the nuts were fairly big, but not really notably huge, and most were split into halves, with a good helping of seasoning along the outer sides, with less of it generally on the exposed center.

I crunched in to find a soft feel and in impressive heat to start, growing even hotter soon after. The peppers didn't supply much flavor separate from the heat, so I could taste mostly just peanuts and heat initially, then just heat that stayed around once the peanuts were gone. I've had some small bits of raw ghost peppers, and those were quite a bit hotter than these peanuts, but still these delivered on being some of the hottest seasoned peanuts I've eaten.

Smell test: Strong peanut smell, maybe enhanced by the peppers, but couldn't specifically smell the peppers.

From the package: “You know what's scary good? Our Ghost Pepper Jumbo Peanuts. They're big. They're roasted and then toasted in ghost pepper seasoning. After all, if you want really big bold flavor, you need really, really big nuts.”
