Nutterz – Nuclear, Bacon Cheddar and Crab Flavor
Manufacturer: B More Nutz
Website: http://www.bmorenutz.com
In addition to the Chili Nutterz that DickT from BMoreNutz.com sent, he also included Nuclear Nutterz, Crab Flavor Nutterz and Bacon Cheddar Nutterz.
First off, the packaging on these are ok, but they could stand some ironing out. I like the larger bags, and the “crimpable,” fold-down top very much. It makes it easy to break out and put away without having to scour my kitchen drawers for a chip-clip that I may or may not even own. I don’t remember the first bag being so difficult to open, but I had to break out scissors for the second one. The labels on the front, while the artwork is cool, are unprofessionally applied (i.e. they’re noticeably off-center, so they look a bit slap-dash). I assume at some point the labeling process is going to be automated somehow to make it look tidier, or the sticker will be forgone altogether and the label applied directly on the bag by way of laser printing, ion cannon or neutrino emitting phase disrupter. Whatever it takes.
Nuclear Nutterz
Ingredients: Peanuts, potato starch, sugar, flour, peanut oil, corn meal, egg whites, salt, sodium bicarbonate, corn starch, xanthan gum, dehydrated onion and garlic, oleoresin paprika, chili, habanero pepper and soy bean oil.
The Nuclear Nutterz taste nearly identical to the Chili Nutterz, save for the fact that these have some kick. I can eat them non-stop, and they’ll start to tingle after a couple mouthfuls, but they never get overwhelming (or even very hot, to me). That said, I’ve given them to a few friends and some have had to take small breathers in between handfuls. In that light, it seems to me they’re about the perfect heat for mass consumption. I would still greatly like to see a hotter version for the masochist community (which I understand is in the works). It's everything I loved about the Chili Nutterz with just a bit of heat - they're simply awesome.
Overall: 9/10
Crab Flavor Nutterz
Ingredients: Peanuts, potato starch, sugar, flour, peanut oil, corn meal, egg whites, salt, sodium bicarbonate, celery salt, spices (including pepper, mustard, all spice, cloves, mace, ginger, cinnamon) and paprika.
First, I’d like to say something for the record. These are not crab flavored. They are flavored with the same seasoning used for Maryland crab cakes. In this aspect, they could definitely remind someone of crab, if they’re familiar with crab cakes prepared in this style. I, myself, am not. On the other hand, it seems cumbersome to label the product “Crab Cake Seasoning Flavored Nutterz,” so I certainly can’t blame him for the condensed (albeit, inaccurate) name. Dick told me that the Crab Flavor Nutterz are favored at his preferred watering hole. I personally don’t agree, but that’s because I just prefer the Nuclear ones…
The dominant flavor in the Crab Flavor Nutterz is celery salt. The allspice and cloves are subtle, and the other spices are pretty undetectable. I love celery salt, so I’m totally comfortable with that. The funny thing is, because of the heavy celery salt, these taste like Wiener Nutterz to me. So as not to cause confusion, here’s an explanation:

Bacon Cheddar Nutterz
Ingredients: Peanuts, potato starch, sugar, flour, peanut oil, corn meal, egg whites, salt, sodium bicarbonate, cheese powder (pasteurized milk salt, cheese cultures, enzymes), whey, maltodestrin, sugar, salt, msg, onion and garlic, citric acid, oleoresin paprika, soy bean oil.
Visually, these are totally different. They’re almost white – compared to the orangish, brownish look of the other Nutterz, which I’m sure is due to the cheddar cheese powder. These things are redonkulously bacony. After a few moments, the cheddar settles in and they actually taste like Smartfood – one of my favorite childhood snacks. I don’t know how they taste so bacony, it seems impossible for their size. I’m wondering if they are perhaps made in a bacon factory, and the flavor just leeches through the air like an ether, possessing the Nutterz with the souls of a thousand bacon strips. Mmmmm… Bacon souls…
Overall: 8.5/10
Combined Overall: 9/10
I realize the average would be 8.5, but it wouldn’t be fair to ignore the fact that B More Nutz consistently creates superior products, all of which are highly, highly addictive. In fact, if this review were to get any longer, that score would surely creep up…
Thank you again, Dick. I’m looking forward to your new flavors – I know you have a few more in the works!
