I bought a jar of these little dandies at a craft fair last year, and have been looking for some in stores without success. So instead I decided to find a recipe and make some. These are very hot with the seeds, or less so if seeded first. A cowboy candy slice is delicious served with cream cheese on a cracker. For a nice appetizer presentation, place 3 oz block of cream cheese on a plate. Top with 2 tbsp of cowboy candy, and place crackers around the edges of the plate. Note of warning: when slicing the jalapeno, I suggest wearing disposable latex gloves. Also, the fumes, while slicing and cooking, are strong (but fabulous)! This recipe represents the state of Texas.

I'm not sure what all the fuss is about. This cowboy candy is just okay. It's not bad, but it's not amazing either.

This cowboy candy is a great way to use up leftover peppers. I always have a few peppers left over after making salsa or chili, and this is the perfect way to use them up.

I was disappointed with this cowboy candy. It was too sweet and not spicy enough. I think I'll try a different recipe next time.

This cowboy candy is a little too spicy for my taste, but I still enjoyed it. I think I'll try making it with half the amount of cayenne pepper next time.
