I also felt a soft burn for a good 15 minutes after eating them.<\/p>\n<p>I only ate about two handfuls before I stopped. I\u2019m not sure that\u2019s even a full serving, so these could very well continue to build to the point they become unbearable if you eat too much.<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"display:block; margin-left:auto; margin-right:auto;\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.theimpulsivebuy.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/Ghost-Pepper-Chex-Mix-3.jpg?resize=600%2C449&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Ghost Pepper Chex Mix 3\" title=\"Ghost Pepper Chex Mix 3.jpg\" border=\"0\" width=\"600\" height=\"449\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Oh, and in case you were wondering, you get all the standard Chex Mix favorites represented \u2013 Chex, Pretzels (windows and circles), Pumpernickel Bagel Chips and Breadsticks.<\/p>\n<h3>Conclusion:<\/h3>\n<p>If you like spicy food and Chex Mix, these are a no-brainer purchase.
