Cowboy Candy
28
People talking
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.

Great recipe! I also use some yellow or red bell peppers and a little onion. It looks like there is not enough water but there is. Try not to overcook it because the crispy pepper is better than a soggy one so keep it to a 20 minute cook time.Reply

I'm not rating this particular recipe because I haven't tried it. I also bought a jar at a craft show and loved it with cream cheese and crackers. When I try this recipe, I will review it. Thanks PanNan for your recipe.Reply

Our peppers are really hot so next time we will remove the seeds to mild it, but the recipe is great!Reply

HOLY MOMMA OF HOT STUFF!<br/><br/>These are awesome bites of full flavored flames! Great recipe!<br/><br/>I made a trial batch of these to see how they taste and what a treat. Now I've got to go buy some more jalapenos so I can make a BIG batch.<br/><br/>I'm going to make them to take to a dessert auction were having at church. These will be a hit!<br/><br/>My mouth is still on fire, but what a great burn!<br/><br/>Thanks for posting!Reply
