Whether you’re new to candied jalapeños or already a fan of the sweet heat craze, this 16oz jar will quickly become your favorite condiment, topping, and secret ingredient.

What Are Candied Jalapeños?

Candied jalapeños, sometimes lovingly referred to as “cowboy candy,” are sliced jalapeño medallions preserved in a syrupy sweet brine. This process turns the naturally spicy pepper into a complex combination of heat, tang, and sugar, mellowed just enough to make them irresistible. They’re bold. They’re sweet. They’re zesty. And they pack just the right amount of punch.

Our version brings together sliced jalapeño peppers, sugar, distilled vinegar, salt, and a touch of citric acid and calcium chloride to preserve their crisp bite and vibrant flavor. These aren’t overly processed—just good, honest jalapeños, carefully balanced and beautifully jarred.

Taste Profile

One bite and you’ll be hooked.

The flavor journey begins with a wave of sticky sweetness that quickly gives way to the sharp tang of vinegar and the unmistakable green punch of jalapeño heat. That lingering warmth, balanced by a syrupy finish, makes them an addictive pairing for everything from charcuterie boards to brisket sandwiches.

It’s not just about heat—it’s about flavor complexity. Our Candied Jalapeños deliver a depth that adds dimension to every dish they touch.
