These bright & shiny little twirls have a sweet and spicy flavour with a subtle hit of heat, and are great for topping cakes and ice cream, or garnishing cocktails.
This is an extended version of my previous candied chilli photostructable. That first attempt was tasty, but thanks to leaving in the seeds for aesthetic value the burn of the spice rather disguised this. These have a much milder heat, allowing the accompanying flavours to be properly appreciated.

Signing UpStep 1: Ingredients & Equipment
Though impressive to look at, these sweets are easy to make, requiring very few ingredients.
Ingredients:
Some large chilli peppers (mild or medium, depending on your spice tolerance and what you can find)
1/2 cup caster sugar
1/2 cup water
Spices (I used a cinnamon stick & a few cardamom pods. Citrus zest is good too)
You'll also need some general kitchen equipment: knife, chopping board, saucepan with lid, seive, baking tray, baking parchment, cocktail sticks/bamboo skewers for making the twists.
