This yummy Cowboy Candy recipe (also known as Candied Jalapenos) is so quick and easy to fix. I love them on eggs, burgers, and pizza or stuffed in quesadillas, burritos, or chimichangas. Whatever you choose to put them in or on, they are perfect balance between sweet and spicy. You are going to love this simple no canning refrigerator recipe. When stored properly sealed in the refrigerator these little gems are good for at least two months. Are you growing jalapenos this year? They are tasty little peppers, aren’t they? I absolutely love them and I enjoy cooking with them.
