How big a mortgage did you need? Can't imagine you get much change from a tenner for one of those these days?Not cheap but Tesco clubcard knocks a couple of quid off. These are so moreish.

@Merlin5 - I still think the pistachio ones are the best. To be honest they’re all excellent apart from the fruit or mint ones!
Candied chillies - mix of Aji Limon and Jalapeño. All home grown! Not eating them all at once, but thought this would be appreciated here!

Genuinely interested.. What would you use candied chillis on?
e: I take it candied is as I think.. i.e. very sweet in a suger type scenario?

They’re £4.50, not really extortionate

Pretty much anything! They're fantastic on chilli con carne. Putting them under the grill to melt cheese and caramelise them makes it sensational. Also good with hot dogs, burgers, BBQ, cheese and crackers. Using the syrup to fry bacon in is extremely delicious but extremely dangerous!

Normally £6.30 but as Rob mentioned, £4.50 (if you have a clubcard).
I've not tried the pistachio, I'll get around to it though! I had a dark chocolate with mint the other day and that was nice. The strawberry in white chocolate is amazing.

That's after discount apparently. £6.30 for a small box makes me weep

I hope you were still in the middle of adding more butter to the top slice.Forgot to post earlier today, snacked on some Sourdough with plenty of Asdapak.
Excuse the plateless approach, dishwasher was mid cycle and did not want to stare at a plate on the kitchen side all evening as I’ve forgotten how to wash plates the old fashioned way

Candied habaneros
I don’t think I’ve got enough on my plants to do that (about 3). Think I might head to a wholesaler and make a job lot for Christmas gifts.

Let us know the results!

Nearly killed myself from burning chilli's and cider vinegar while checking a network switch up high in the kitchen
They look nothing like what you've produced, but a small spoonful gave a lot of heat and flavour.

Ooh! What chillies did you use? I once got everything too hot and made a sort of chilli caramel which was also excellent in a thick gloopy sort of way. Should have given a health warning for the fumes though!
