Deep Fried Peanuts | Eat 'Em Shell-n-all | 7 oz. | 2 Pack (Cajun)

So, I stumbled across these just looking for snacks. Shopping on here for food in the middle of the night while hungry, what could go wrong?Saw these and thought: “why not?” I love roasted peanuts, never tried boiled peanuts, or these deep fried peanuts. Seemed delicious and the idea of eating the shell and all seemed interesting. Added to the cart and hit buy.Watched a few video reviews while these things shipped. Saw some mixed results, there was mostly praise.When they arrived, I was happy. It didn’t solve the midnight munchies during the previous week. But I had a new snack to try, and that was reason enough.CAJUN Flavored Review:Cracked into this flavor first. Ate a few, tried them without the shell and tried the eat the shell gimmick. I taste nothing, no Cajun seasoning far as I can tell. Set them aside and sealed them. Few days later I tried them again. Still, tasted like a greasy peanut. I get halfway into the bag finally, I start tasting what I would consider the cajun seasoning. But mostly salt. (Which I get is part of that kind of seasoning) For whatever reason, most of the flavoring fell off the peanut and settled on the bag or at the bottom of the bag.My advice?Give these peanuts a shake before you dive in. No ideas otherwise unless you want to re-season them yourself.SALT Flavored Review:Pretty much what you expect of a salted nut. I wish I could say something more about them but really, just tasted like your lightly salted average peanut. Which if it isn’t broke, right?Of the people I asked if they wanted to try them, only one tried a salted deep fried peanut. They was also intrigued by the concept of eating the shell, and a chuckle at making something relatively healthy a bit unhealthy was a funny concept - but hey, fair food does the same thing and it works.I’m glad I tried these. They’re kind of like eating a sunflower seed with the shell. Just at the end of it’s digestion trail.. It doesn’t feel like you’re passing a pine cone when nature decides to call (if you ate a few sunflower seeds shell and all, you probably know what I’m saying).The price? I don’t get why it was higher here. Maybe for those who don’t have them locally or at their gas station. Or to cash in on someone’s curiosity.The video reviews I saw they found them local and they was under $5 a bag (specifically if memory serves.. $3-4 price range) on here I paid $11 + tax for two bags.I’m glad I tried them and all, I didn’t taste much a difference, sometimes you get that gem of a slightly more roasted peanut in a bag with roasted peanuts.. I wouldn’t hold out the same optimism with this cooking method.With the seasoning settling at the bottom of the bag, and pretty much buying salt and slightly more salty flavors.Wish I had looked further into different flavors before buying.If you like peanuts, and don’t have that allergy to them. I suggest giving these a try at least once. If you can get them local, and cheaper I say go for it as well.

love these

The nuts came well packaged. Fresh and delicious. Great salty game time snack. I personally don’t drink anymore but I’m sure these would have been my go to snack back when I did.

Addictive

Tried some in Arkansas they were delicious, these lack something. Still tasty though!

These are my first introduction to Deep Fried Peanuts, I didn't even know such a thing existed until I randomly ran across them. I thought, hey if you're supposed to eat the shell and all they must spend the effort to clean the roots from them right? After all considering the price that seems reasonable right? Nope. You're in for some hairy deep fried peanuts -1 star there.Flavorwise they're ok. Not bad for sure. Just not the deep flavor I was hoping for. I feel I could have thrown some Tony Catchers on here and get a better result. In fact now that I know these things exist I'll probably deep fry some whole clean peanuts in shell. So flavor wise it's a toss up. -1 +1Value? If these were a buck or two at the corner shop they'd be an excellent deal but they're $6.50 each with mild flavor and heavy hair so I can't go above 3 stars.

Great taste, good and crunchy. Just wish the bags were larger for the price.

So addicted to these peanuts! Crunchy, protein instead of empty sugar calories, and delicious, they’re the perfect snack. Fresh, not greasy, and love the flavor combo. Will definitely by more!
