Here is a super simple, and quick recipe.  Cowboy Candy A.K.A. Candied Jalapenos have been making the rounds like crazy that last couple years.  It is sweet, crunch, spicy, and delicious!  Some people can’t handle the spice, but still want that sweet, and crunchy touch to their sandwich.  For those that don’t want the heat, this recipe is perfect.  It is essentially the same recipe as Cowboy Candy, but with sweet peppers instead of jalapenos.  

I should probably explain the meaning behind the name of this recipe.  I should make it clear that it is called Cowgirl Candy because it is pretty and sweet, not because girls can’t handle spicy food.  I know plenty of the ladies out there like spicy food, as well as gentlemen who can’t even handle it.  So the lesson here is that this recipe is called Cowgirl Candy because it is sweet and pretty!

If you are looking for some texture, along with sweet, and tangy flavor added to a hamburger, hot dog, sandwich, or anything else, I invite you to try out these delicious peppers!  Enjoy!
