Anthony Spices - Carolina Reaper Cheese Balls (Extremely Hot Cheese Balls)

So, curiosity brought me to these. I got tired of beef jerky with the same peppers making the claim how hot they was. Wanted to try something different. Here we are. This was different, there’s warnings on the bag (which I thought was a small bag, at first) Telling you to handle with gloves, and to consult with a doctor if you have certain conditions or an ulcer. Already signs of a good time when cracking into these. I try one, watching a review on here, it was hilarious and had me sold on them. I still took it as a cautionary tale to start slow and feel these out. My mouth instantly felt warmed, sometimes the powder flakes off and hits you in the throat as you’re chomping these. That won’t be fun. But bear through it, you’ll taste cheese eventually. I felt the warmness crawling down to my stomach as I swallowed the crushed and chewed cheese ball. Enjoyed the burn and let it be. With it being a small bag, you can’t and certainly don’t want to make the mistake of absentmindedly snacking on these during a favorite show. Next day, I made a small mistake of having one of these on an empty stomach. Different experience and the digestion process, well let’s just say explosive, and there was a pain from start to finish. I’ve been rationing these a bit, just so I don’t get through them as quickly. But I’m slowly building up a tolerance to them. Having a handful through out the day or night. Stopping myself because I want to enjoy these as long as possible. There’s an issue with things like this though, the spice flavor can completely overpower the cheese flavor. Which sucks, sometimes. Theres something of a warning about these not mixing with alcohol, whether it’s cause we tend to get a bit dumber during a few good drinks or for some kind of interaction between two. I don’t question it, and wouldn’t entirely recommend mixing the two. I’ll gladly buy these again, especially if they release a bigger amount. But when this first bag is emptied, I can’t see why I wouldn’t return for more, cause I enjoyed the hell out of these balls. Update 9/13/2020: I finished these, I had a few on most days, almost seemed like the last few (10 or so) they was starting to become stale. Pretty sure I closed the bag completely, but keep that in mind. These can last a nice amount of time but a month is probably pushing it. If you like heat and cheese balls, maybe give them a try. Spicy stuff isn’t for everyone, and I sure as hell wouldn’t suggest these being your first attempt into this particular brand of peppers.

Have not written a review in a while... These deserve some typing. Here is my experience. Upon seeing the bag i was not impressed. It is not big. Like 2.0 ounces. Think small bag of lunch size chips. Don't give up at the diminutive appearance. Please continue. 1) Upon opening- Color and smell is desirable but does not have "hot, smell"... 2) Picking one out of the package feels just like a high quality cheese ball. 3) Touch tongue to ball. No big deal. No alarm bells. 4) Insert entire cheesy puff ball and get impressed by great flavor. 5) The flavor fades away quickly. 6) Now the fun starts. 7) About 10 seconds in, the reaper comes a knocking. Disclaimer **I like really hot stuff** 8) For the next few minutes the heat increases to about a tolerable 7 out of 10 for me. 9) The burn lasts bout 5 minutes and tapers to a sustained mild heat for 10 minutes. 10) Now you are done. Repeat as often as you like. Summary- Impressive cheese flavor for a few seconds that lead to very good to excellent heat delivery. Not like a death destroyer but, tolerable if you only eat one or two. This is not the kind of heat that requires a signature for a release of liability. I do not recommend setting these out in a bowl for your 'buddies'. They may eat a handful before realizing you are sadistic and enjoy suffering. Well, that is about it. Enjoy the feeling of real Carolina Reapers on cheesy puff balls.

Pretty damn hot

okay bud, here's the low down on these cheese balls. 1) hottest thing I've ever eaten (I have eaten whole reapers before). 2) so hot I'm going to prank people, I will never eat another one again LOL and I eat very spicy food daily. 3) smell of the bag/product is very...not welcoming, it isn't spicy smelling, just not appealing. FOR THE OWNER: I can't see many people buying this product more than once, so I want to try and give you an alternative product with these... Cheeseball Roulette! normal cheese balls with a very few of these bad boys hidden inside, maybe 1-3 balls in the same size packaging. but the normal balls have to be banging! Good luck and great product.

Okay, This is one of the items I purchased for my son's Hot and Spicy 30th Birthday. All of the food at the party was hot and spicy with different levels of heat. Both of my sons, my husband, and son-in-law, will sample ANY level of heat, but my youngest son will eat his food at a level 10 (spicy hot wise) and enjoy every minute of it. Well, I have to say, "These cheese balls won for the hottest thing at the party." Not only did four of my family members have sweat running down their faces while drinking water, milk and soda, but my son (who can eat anything, thought it really wasn't a big deal and thought he would eat another one before the first one actually took affect (because he didn't think it was all that hot). He proceeded to sit there waiting for something to happen, and wasn't sure what to think. He thought it had good flavor, and began pondering what affect it was having. Then, two or three minutes later, he said, "It is getting hotter." Then, he realized that a piece of it had actually touched/stuck to the back of his throat. You could see his eyes water, he was grabbing a drink, then he was trying to clear his throat. Then he realized how hot it actually was. Everyone gave it the "Hands down hottest winner." Word of advice: Don't let it touch your lips. My son-in-law was dreading having to pee later. Lol! The next day, my son just had to go in and eat another one. My husband decided to throw the rest of them away because he said they were way, way, way to hot to eat. But if you have someone who loves to try hot and spicy things, and think that nothing is too hot for them, buy this for them.

Holy cow, it's mindblowing how tasty these things are. The moment you bite into them, flavour and intense hit just burst into your mouth. If you're not used to extreme heat, maybe get your heat tolerance up a bit by trying some of Puckerbutt hot sauces until you're used to at least like the XXX Reaper sauce first. Something about that dry pepper dust heat, it really packs a punch. Anyway, tasty as they are, fair warning, don't go crazy eating them unless you really know what you're doing. Maybe one or two at most in a single day I'd say, and gradually build up if you don't know what you're doing. I got used to the heat, and jumped to eating 24 of these in a single day. That was quite the ride of pain for like 24 hours I went through for that mistake, so you don't want to like me in pain on the bathroom floor. Eat these responsibly. Or don't, I guess. It's your life. 10/10 product, just be careful, and enjoy!

I'm Thai. For Thai this is not hot. Sure, it's spicy. It'll set the most common palette on fire for an hour. But if you eat raw jalapenos and drench everything in Tabasco sauce with a side of "cock chili sauce" with every dish, these won't bother you too much. I have yet to try the one-chip challenge. Oh, on a side note, these are extremely expensive for what you're getting, but understandable assuming it's a one-man operation.

I love the spice on these cheese balls. These are an actual flavorful and spicy version of the classic cheese balls snacks. I will definitely be buying these again. Very enjoyable for a movie night or to put out at a party. People at a party that act like they can handle spice sometimes cry from the heat which makes for a good laugh. These are worth the price for the laugh and for the flavor of a great product.
