Easy Candied Jalapenos Recipe: These Sweet Hot Candied Peppers Are Texas Cowboy Candy Sauces/Condiments

Cowboy candy. Sweet hots. Candied peppers. Sweet fire peppers. Whatever you want to call them, these peppers are the perfect combination of sweet and hot. While many just use jalapenos, you can use whatever hot peppers you have on hand. I used cayenne peppers, red jalapenos, green jalapenos and a few Thai chiles.
