I like this channel for the recipes, for sure, but I think I mainly drop by because you two are so down to earth and it feels like I'm standing there with you guys while you're doing your thing. 😃

[@tomwyant9297]

Christy, that is the greatest compliment you could possibly give us. We want you to feel like a part of our family and like you are sitting right here at the table with us, because you are! As an added bonus, we hope you find lots of good recipes to try. We do appreciate you being a part of our KZbin family.

Yummmmmmmmyyyyy! I’m a true blue pepper eatin’ Texas girl. I’ve just recently learned to like candied jalapeños (I eat regular ones like they’re pickles). So this will be a new treat for me and my family for sure. Of course 1/4 cup will not do🥰 Thank y’all for the recipe. Be blessed!

[@tomwyant9297]

Judy, we are excited to know that you’re going to give this recipe a try. After reading that you are a true blue pepper eatin’ Texas girl, I wasn’t surprised when you said that 1/4 cap of candied jalapeños will not be enough.😂 We hope everyone at your house enjoys this dip as much as our family does. Thanks for watching our video!

[@frankcaruso1506]

Tom, I never thought I'd see the day where these two words, candied and jalapeno were in the same recipe. I love Miracle Whip!

[@tomwyant9297]

Frank, you really need to give this dip a try. It is so, so good! Our kids ate the entire bowl of dip in just a few minutes and started asking for more. I hope you love it as much as we do. Thanks for watching!

@tomwyant9297 Well Tom, I'm extremely lactose intolerant and unless I can figure a sub for the cream cheese looks like it ain't gonna happen. I'm thinking more of a candied jalapeno bread.

[@kimbrown7760]

This looks good! Kind of similar to cream cheese with pepper jelly poured over it. But mixed together. Yum

[@tomwyant9297]

Kim, I guess it is a little similar, but the addition of the Miracle Whip and the candied jalapeños, gives it a different flavor. We think it’s fabulous. Thanks for watching!

[@cathyrandolph7135]

We’ve always called candied jalapeños “cowboy candy”. I just bought some Saturday at a craft fair, so this is going to be served at our family Christmas get together. Thanks for the recipe! The hotter the better for my two sons and me. Not so much for my husband and daughters-in-law. Lol.

You’re right, Cathy. What started off as candied jalapeños is now called by several different names, cowboy candy being one of the most popular. This dip is absolutely fabulous!

I think if you will try this dip and start with a very small amount of chopped candied jalapeños, continue adding and tasting until you get to the level you prefer, you will really enjoy this dip.

you can make your own. There's recipes out there for "cowboy candy" I have made it before. You can get the mild jarred jalapenos for less heat. You pour off the juice and put sugar in the jar with the jalapenos. Look for a recipe.

There’s not a thing in the world wrong with that. Here’s just a suggestion that you can take or leave. I think I would mix the softened cream cheese and mayo or miracle whip, spread it on a pie plate, and pour your jalapeño jelly on top.

Uncle Jerry said that David, my brother, had a lead stomach. He would eat those peppers straight up. For Christmas I buy him the hottest sauces I can find. He loves them. Even the ones with the crossbones on them. He ain't right. Anyway, Every year I make him Cowboy Candy, candied jalapeno's. I usually get about 28 pints jars. He's already out. He puts it on everything. I think he even puts it on ice cream. I just had hip replacement but I'm going to make this for him and surprise him with it. He has Parkinson's and I love to do little things for him. Especially since his heart and soul, Robin, his wife passed away. Hes the best brother in the world.

We have never tried it with stuffed peppers, lmagams, but it sounds interesting. Thank you for watching our video!

Going to Christmas party on December 14 (Mexican food), would taco chips be good with it?

[@bowed305]

What are taco chips? Are they like tortilla chips? If so, this would be great with those.

[@tomwyant9297]

Yes, Marilyn, I think it would be delicious. Served with taco chips or tortilla chips. This would be perfect to serve with Mexican food. Let us know how everyone likes it. Thanks for watching our video!

[@susnorth40]

I'll just try it minus the sweetness, garlic stuffed type. I can't find the sweet type here. Tks for the recipe guys ! 😊😊

[@tomwyant9297]

You are very welcome,susnorth40! We hope you enjoy it as much as we do. Thanks for watching our video!

[@judyharmon4586]

OR you can have a son-in-law who makes and cans it, and is generous in giving it to me 😂. I use it with LOTS of foods, just like it was pickle relish! 😁😋

[@tomwyant9297]

Judy, I guess I need to teach our daughter and son-in-law how to make Cowboy Candy. 😂 We think it’s absolutely fabulous. Thank you for watching our video!

[@karenchambers7231]

Living in Australia I've never seen candid jalapenos can you use pickled jalapenos instead? By the way love Tom's sweater

[@tomwyant9297]

Karen, I have never made this with pickled jalapeños, but I don’t see why it wouldn’t work. The pickled jalapeños are probably not going to be as sweet as the candied jalapeños so it may not have the same taste, but I think it would still be delicious. There are many recipes on the Internet for candied jalapeños, and it’s very simple to make. If you would be interested in making your own candied jalapeños, I think you could easily find a recipe online. Melissa and I have already discussed that that probably needs to be a video that we make soon since many of our subscribers, have asked about how to make them. We appreciate you watching our videos and being a part of our KZbin family.

Hi 🙋🏻‍♀️

[@tomwyant9297]

Hi, Carol! We appreciate you watching our video and leaving us a comment. Thank you for being a part of our KZbin family!

[@LauraNielson-b3g]

I know you guys don't like heat, so this makes me think it must be really good!

[@valerierobinson8872]

Thanks for this recipe. I specifically grow hot peppers each year to make multiple jars of Cowboy Candy, I started chopping some of my peppers to make rattlesnake relish so will grab a jar of that relish to mix this up. My kids will so enjoy this!

[@lanaritter9410]

Would you mind to share your cowboy candy? Thank you! rattlesnake relish???? Interested!

[@valerierobinson8872]

@@lanaritter9410 happy too. Busy today but will send it asap.

[@tomwyant9297]

Valerie, I sure would appreciate if you would mail us your recipe for Cowboy Candy and for Rattlesnake Relish. Both of those sound fabulous and I’m sure our viewers would appreciate me sharing those on our Sunday Subscriber Series. We appreciate you being a part of our KZbin family!

[@valerierobinson8872]

@tomwyant9297 I can do that for you.

[@WaterfallFW]

My son grows hundreds of jalapeños for his brother, himself and comes workers for jelly. I bet he’d love candied jalapeños. He’s vegan so no dip sadly.

[@ns.stitcher]

Would really love to get your cookbook but Amazon in Canada says that it is unavailable, so sad.

[@tomwyant9297]

ms.stitcher, I am so sad that our book cannot be shipped to Canada. It really does hurt me that our Canadian friends, and we have many, cannot get our book. Amazon has told us repeatedly that the shipping cost is way out of line with the cost of the book so they can’t ship to Canada. I even checked with our Postal Service to see if I could personally ship our book to Canada and found that the cost of shipping one book is more than $40. It’s insane! I am so, so sorry that we can’t ship out of the United States. We have friends who live literally right on the Canadian border. Melissa and I got T-shirts for them when we were in New York City. I tried mailing the T-shirts to them when we got home and found that shipping two T-shirts to Ontario was going to cost almost $50 in shipping. I do not understand it!

[@rmpapa-zz6vv]

Never heard of candied jalapenos. Are they a sweet heat like pepper jelly?

[@patandtonys2604]

hi there here from el Paso,Texas can you make a video on making homemade cowboy jalepeno candy

[@Jane_Dow]

What section of the Grocery store, would you find the Candied Jalapeno's ?? I've gotten regular Jalapeno's in the Mexican food section, but never seen candied ones there. :~)

[@oldblindsonny8476]

Might wanna get a bag of Tostitos scoops and use that

[@tomwyant9297]

I’m sure Tostitos scoops would be very good with this dip, oldblindsonny8476. We love those scoops with our salsa and with queso dip so I’m sure it would be good with the candied jalapeño dip as well. Thanks for watching our video!

[@Carly-pr2xw]

If your group doesn't care for the heat. Could l use a can of green chiles?

[@tomwyant9297]

Carly, you can, but it will not have the same taste. The candied jalapeño is sweet so this dip has a slightly sweet flavor. What I would suggest instead of using canned green chilies is to use a lesser amount of candied jalapeños in the dip. Honestly, Melissa and I do not like a lot of heat either but we do like this dip. The more candied jalapeños, you add, the hotter it’s going to be. Also, you can buy mild candied jalapeños that will be much less hot. I hope you can find a way to make this work for your family. Thanks for watching our video!

[@Carly-pr2xw]

@tomwyant9297 Ok thanks. I'll try a small amount of the jalapeño peppers. I enjoy watching you. You have a nice calm voice.

[@wmendive310]

Walmart carries candied jalapeño

[@tomwyant9297]

Yes wmendive310, our Walmart also carries candied jalapeño. I think most Walmart stores do. Thank you for that reminder! We appreciate you being a part of our KZbin family.

[@sturgisbaby9050]

Your sweater looks awfully thick & warm. Is it cold in Kentucky? We've had below freezing temps in GA last few days! Brrr!

[@tomwyant9297]

It has been bitterly cold in Kentucky this week, sturgisbaby9050. We have had snow and temperatures in the low 20s. I am not a fan of this weather in any way, shape, or form, but it’s what we’ve got so I’m trying to survive through it.😂 Thank you for watching our video.

[@carolyngurney5376]

I want to make this, but I don’t have a mixer. Do you think I could get it incorporated enough with a bowl and spatula?

[@tomwyant9297]

Carolyn, you do not need a mixer for this recipe. You absolutely can do it using a bowl and large spoon or a spatula. Just make sure that your cream cheese is at room temperature. We hope you enjoy this dip as much as we do. Thank you for being a part of our KZbin family.

[@BorgieMN]

I've never had nor heard of candies jalapenos. So is this dip sweet tasting, like a jelly with some spice? Guessing it is different than a sour cream based dip?

[@KernArms]

🤔 I have a really finicky family. As soon as I say jalapeño it’s a no. Not real “viva la differa’nce” or “just try it” group. It’s what I got 😂😂. Sounds good though

[@tomwyant9297]

KernArms, I have a solution for you! Candied jalapeños are also called Cowboy Candy. Don’t tell them that it has jalapeños in it. Just tell them it’s made with Cowboy Candy. I bet they will love it! Let us know if you try serving it to them. Thanks for watching our video!

[@KernArms]

@ I think I will because I’ll bet it’s delicious 😋
