I
have covered several top quality chilli snack items, it has to
be said that the final product for review today is the jewel in
The Chilli Pepper Company's chilli confectionary crown! Ged’s “Flaming Chocolate
Fireballs” score big in my book for two very good reasons, one
of them is the fact that they contain my favourite chilli, the
Naga Bhut
and the second is that they are sooooooo tasty its unreal! when
you bite into one of these, the first thing that hits you before
the Bhut flavour and heat is the hazelnuts, and they go so well
with the Bhut, of course after the flavour comes a heat that
really sets the back of the tongue and throat on fire, when I
ate my first one I never expected this and I coughed a bit at
the heat! Until I tried these chocolates I never would have guessed
that praline and Bhut would go so well together, but it does and
it creates a taste sensation that is unlike any other chilli
confectionary product I have tried to date, these are clearly
loved by many as Ged has currently sold out of them, but if you
catch him at a show I'm sure he will have some then, and if not
then this is a call to Ged, “GED, MAKE SOME MORE FIREBALLS
PLEASE, YOUR FANS LOVE THEM!!” Ahem.. now that's sorted I guess
there isn't much more to say other than go to

Deadly Hot Chilli Cashew Nuts
At the Brighton FFUK I had the pleasure of acquiring several snack foods from my good friend Ged from “The chilli pepper company”, now in my mind, although snacks are a damn good thing to have, I don’t feel I can devote an entire review to just one of those snacks, so I rounded them all up and decided to review them all in one go, attributing a few lines to each product, that way you get something nice to read, and it gives you a fair idea of how these snacks taste, without further adieu, lets start eh?
Okay the first product is simply known as “Deadly hot chilli cashew nuts”, now I don’t know if you knew this readers, but the cashew nut is the seed of something known as the “Cashew apple”, the nut grows underneath the apple and in brazil (where the cashew tree grows) the apple is actually considered more of a delicacy then the nut itself! Now these particular cashew nuts come in a simple little 100g tub with a nice red and white label on the top that warns the consumer of the heat, and that they should not be consumed by anyone under 18!
I popped the lid and took a nice handful, popped them into my mouth and chewed heartily, I then ran to my fridge and pulled out my trusty milk and immediately glugged it down, for these cashew nuts are really f***ing HOT! A quick look at the website told me that these nuts do indeed have Naga powder on them and for that reason alone these are one of the hottest nut products on the market today, a lot of “chilli nuts” are mild and don’t have the kick that their name implies, this is not the case with these cashew nuts!
At £2.00 for a 100g pot these certainly aren't the cheapest cashews around, but they are guaranteed to surprise your friends and family when they ask for one, try putting them in an empty bag of normal cashews for comedy effect!
