OMG, OMG, OMG I used to buy these from a specialty food booth and lost track of them several years ago, husband had really mourned their loss, he will be so, so happy!!!
A great appetizer is one of these on a little dollop of cream cheese on a wheat thin, the cream cheese cooks the heat for u !!!
Addicting!!!

Just finished making my first batch of Cowboy Candy. Inspired by your recipe video. The guy at the farmers market was selling a whole bucket of peno's for $2!!! I couldn't resist. I've got a pork butt in the smoker. Along with my pickled red onions and Cowboy Candy it's going to be a great plate tonight. Thanks for your videos.

Ok.. I made them today and added a bay leaf, 2 cloves of garlic, and a little bit of ground mustard. DELISH!!! Thanks for sharing.

I am type 2 diabetic so I used Truvia which contains erithritol. When cooled In fridge, it crystallizes like rock candy! Coats the peppers with a candy

I heard about this from a couple different gardening channels and I wanted a quick recipe to make some. Thx for keeping this video short. I’m boiling the pot of jalapeños at the moment. Can’t wait.

I've made this twice now, and they came out perfect both times. It's truly as easy as it looks, and the process itself is very forgiving.

Went to a friends house last night and she made this reciepe. WOW - a corn chip, a bit of cream cheese and the jalapenos on top for an appetizer then they were great on our tacos! !! !!! I will definately keep these "at the ready"

Just made my first batch today with my first jalapeno harvest of the year. It turned out amazing. Can't wait to try them after sitting overnight. Thank you for sharing. ❤

Just made these this afternoon! Couldn’t wait, I’ve eaten more than half a jar already!!!

Just made some more and added a star anise. Outstanding ! People here in Australia have never tried these it seems and they all seem to love them! Thanks !

[xneenx]

Amazing recipe and soooo simple! Thank you! I didn't have celery seeds so I put in two stars of star anise and the flavor is NEXT NEVEL!

[sandipeterson]

I made this last night from jalapeños from my garden, so amazing and so easy! I had a lot of leftover syrup and had some banana peppers I had picked also and thought what the heck! I cooked the banana peppers and hubby has eaten almost half of them already!

SUPER DOC. Congratulations on your fantastic recipes. Hello from Italy.

[natetrujillo]

Awesome recipe.. I used this video and modified it a little with a little more smoke. Great foundation for delivering an excellent compliment to the table.

[thomasbarca]
