Picard Peanuts in Ontario (also "hottest snack ever!")

Anyone ever try Chip Nuts, from Picard Peanuts? Picard's is a small Mom & Pop chain with a few locations in small towns around southern Ontario (the ones I know of are in St. Jacobs, Niagara-On-The-Lake and on Highway 6 between Guelph and Hamilton). I used to live in Guelph and bought them often, but I moved to Mexico a year and a half ago, so I miss them (though I do have some coming to me courtesy of my brother).
They have a lot of snacks (mostly peanut related) and chocolate/candy, and their Chip Nuts are the best. A peanut inside a crisp, potato chip shell; everyone's probably had some variation of these. They have just about any flavour you can think of: BBQ, sour cream & onion, garlic, salt & vinegar, all dressed, dill pickle, ketchup, nacho cheese, chili & cheese, hot chili...maybe a few others I can't remember right now.
But for me, their best flavour is Blazin' Hot ("delicately roasted, then set on fire"). I love hot/spicey food of any kind, especially snacks, and these are by far the hottest snack I have ever had. When you eat one, you know it's pretty hot, but by the time you've eaten about five, you'll realize how truly hot they are (they're made with habanero).
All the flavours of Chip Nuts that I listed above are also available as regular peanuts as well. Their stores are pretty big, and they have a great selection. They had a website that you used to be able to order from, but I haven't seen it in years. If anyone has any info on a new site (I've checked a few times over the past few years, but haven't found anything), please post it. They're definitely worth checking out if you're ever in the vicinity of one of their stores.
