We lived in China for seven years and while we didn’t live in Sichuan our favorite cuisine was Sichuan. We love the ma of the Sichuan Pepper (hua jiao) and love ma la flavored foods. These peanuts hit the bullseye on both!! They filled our Christmas stockings and now our fellow China expats plan to put them in next year’s Christmas stockings for their families! I hope to keep cans of Tingly Peanuts in my pantry and bought these mini bags for my husband to take on business trips.
