So I was out picking up some stuff for a NYE party as well as a couple hot sauces as a Christmas present for a buddy of mine when I saw these. I got a couple different flavors, put one in his bag of hot sauces, and didn’t think too much about them. I kind of expected to pop them open at the party as a snack, but there was a lot of food and they were sort of forgotten. The next morning I got up, little foggy from the late night, and as I was making my coffee, I spotted these. I opened up the bag and threw a few in my mouth. I have a decent tolerance. I’m not like one of those eating full, raw reapers type guys, but like, I get my Thai food 5/5, I grow my own habaneros and reapers, I keep sauces in my fridge that would ruin a lot of people’s day. Stuff like that. This was… a surprise. These are not a casual snack. I stood in the kitchen for about a minute, then actually excused myself back to the bedroom where I laid down and just breathed through it. Eyes watering, ears burning, and eventually stomach cramps. Later on I tried just one, and it was a lot more tolerable, but still, not a “sit on the couch with a snack” food.
Anyway, that’s my story. Just before new years I got a pepper tattoo, and I feel like this was the spice gods way of saying “oh yea, well here ya go”.

They are very hot.
Just had those delivered last night after seeing them here, holy death puffs! Tasty then freaking hot, ate four and mouth was numb and I resealed the bag and put it away until a later date, much later. Really good but not fkkn around.
The Carolina Reaper Crack Balls are all kinds of awesome. Ridiculously expensive but aptly named.
First mistake, naming the Crack Balls. What is up with naming food after Crack Cocaine? Its the most American Redneck cringe shite ever.
