Unusual Valentine's Day Gift Idea

Only in Texas. Bet nobody else has ever heard of this as a gift for Valentine's Day. Heard an advertisement on my car radio. Most of the time the radio is just on for the noise. Apologies. Can't remember the advertiser. But I clearly remember the V-Day gift suggestions.
For those in a committed and loyal relationship, the typical box of chocolates is recommended. 
For the flaky significant others who don't want to make a commitment?
Candied Jalapeño peppers. 
I didn't even know there was a such a thing. I went and looked up a recipe!
They are on the shelf at our local grocery store here in Austin, Texas; although I never noticed them!

There aren't words that exist to describe how addictive these little savoury, sweet, spicy, crunchy, garlicky pickled jalapeno rounds are. Put them on sandwiches, tacos, rice or bake them into cornbread. You'll need more and more!

You're right, I've been here 57 years and have never seen them but we do see the pricky pear jelly once in a while @cmoneyspinner do you have that in Austin?

@rebelann - I have heard of pricky pear jelly. But I've never seen it. How would you describe the flavor?

Lived in El Paso. Don't remember ever seeing or hearing about candied jalapenos when I was there.

@cmoneyspinner You might as well have a go at making your own Candied Jalapeño peppers.

I have never tried it. But now that I know there is such a thing, my only question is:
Should I buy a popular brand from the grocery store or dare to try to make my own?
Life is full of so many tough decisions.

Candied Jalapenos is a new one on me! Not my taste, but we do know some who would love these.

I also just found out about crispy jalapenos. I think I would love them both - either /or - on a salad.

It's an acquired taste. You either like you or you don't. My husband hates anything sweet AND spicy. Has to be either sweet OR spicy (or hot).

I sure would have never connected peppers and Valentine's Day.
