Packaging: The lid features the phrase, "There's no crying in snacking". The word "XTREMES" is written in orange flames, and there's a 4-flame scale below it with 3 of the flames marked and the word HOTTER. The rest of the labeling is pretty standard.
Ingredients: Almonds are #1 of course, then ghost pepper seasoning, then vegetable oil. I looked a little more deeply at the seasoning mix and it's salt, sugar, maltodextrin, tomato powder, Hatch chile powder as only the fourth listed ingredient, garlic powder, onion powder, jalapeno pepper, some other food coloring and preservative additives, "spices", "natural flavor", 2 kinds of oil, and finally, as the second to last ingredient just before paprika extract, ghost chile powder.
Taste: It's almonds. There is a smoky sweetness to the powdery seasoning. The heat starts very slowly and gradually builds slightly. It lingers for about 30 seconds before fading. The flavor is pleasant, but not particularly spicy and certainly not as hot as the ghost pepper name and label would lead me to expect.
Heat level: 3/10
Verdict: Good but not great; I think I paid around $3 for them, which is not terrible but I think I prefer some of their other flavors like wasabi soy. I will try and review the other two as well but I don't have high hopes for heat, even from the Reaper flavored ones.
