Incredibly delicious! These have a good spice to them, not to hot but a good level. They are not very crunchy which is unfortunate but not a deal breaker. The package was sealed fine, no leaks or damage.

My husband loves spicy food and buys extracts etc., online to make sauces spicy enough for his taste. If you're that into spicy, the initial burn isn't that much, but it most definitely builds. My husband's favorite thing about this particular brand of spicy pickle is that it is still flavorful, not just hot.SPICY GAUGE:I have a low spicy tolerance (jalapenos are okay, but only a few) and one bite of this was too much for me. My husband buys ghost chili and habanero concentrate to make his own hot sauce and thinks they are GREAT, with just the right amount of burn. We shared one with a friend who likes spicy food but has a tolerance somewhere between myself and my husband, leaning toward my husband's regular spicy food use. He thought they were VERY spicy but loved them. He also made the same comment on how they are still flavorful considering how spicy they are.SIZE:I would consider these a larger snack size. They aren't the jumbo pickles you get from convenience stores, but they are definitely more than a couple bites. Approximate dimension: ~4 inches long x 1.25-1.5 inches in diameter.OTHER USES:Since truly spicy pickles are hard to find, we don't just use these as portable snacks, but also cut them up and put them on sandwiches, or dice them and put them in other dishes like tuna salad.OVERALLI would recommend these. This is my second order and I will likely continue to purchase as long as they are offered. These are NOT for the occasional "slightly spicy" person.

I had some reservations based on other reviews particularly one person saying it was like "battery acid" flavor etc...BS!!!These jumbo hot pickles are excellent in terms of flavor and they pack a respectable bite in terms of heat. I honestly don't know that they could be much better then what they are. I actually sliced some up and had them on a warm chicken cutlet grinder with provolone, mayo, lettuce, tomato, onion and it was great!The plastic packaging is thick and sturdy with lots of the hot brine juice per pack. All 12 I ordered were packed perfectly and no issues whatsoever. I highly recommend these "Van Holten's - Pickle-In-A-Pouch Jumbo Hot Pickles - 12 Pack" for price and quality. I am definitely going to be a return customer for these hot pickles and I am very likely try other Van Holten's products.

My wife love Van Holtens, since I was spending a fortune buying one pickle at a time I figured I'd kill her with kindness and give her the hot pickle pack. The price was good, she likes the flavor and best of all I didn't have to make my daily pickle run to the gas station. No leaks in the bag, gas station quality for a reasonable price.

Good

These will become hard to find and they are so good

Firstly, several pickles arrived leaking and only a few were jumbo. Secondly, the spice used was overwhelming and taking the flavor away. Thirdly, the heat was not as intense as my previous order. Fourthly, the price has increased for such a most disgusting 🤮 new blend of spices. The previous order of jumbo was actually jumbo in size; was hot and delicious. However, I stopped ordering the jumbo hot because the heat was too intense for my palate and began ordering the Big Papa which are really tasty. I would like to also note that the sizes are not equal in both. Most of the pickles are medium sized. I do not recommend the Jumbo Hot
