These amazing deviled eggs are a little bit sweet and a little bit spicy, thanks to the addition of finely chopped candied sliced jalapeños. And, whether or not you make your own candied jalapeño slices or buy them from your local market, these eggs will definitely make a great addition to your next cookout, picnic, or family gathering.
At some point in life, I came to the realization that when it comes to the subject of deviled eggs, I am definitely not normal. If anything, I am perhaps a tad bit obsessed, to say the very least. I mean, really, is it normal for one person to spend so much time thinking of new ways to make deviled eggs taste even better? Probably not, but I wouldn’t have it any other way.
Each time I create a new deviled egg recipe, I always say that it’s my favorite. Eventually, however, a new unique flavored deviled egg comes around and my old favorite gets thrown out the window. Not literally of course, because throwing deviled eggs out of a window is never a good thing, not to mention that it would be a complete waste of a totally good deviled egg.
This summer, these deviled eggs are my new favorite. The real secret to their overwhelming success is due to the Candied Sliced Jalapeños both in their filling and used as their garnish. These flavorsome jalapeños impart a truly unique one-of-a-kind sweet and spicy flavor that just can’t be beaten. They kinda make your mouth do a big ol’ happy dance.
So, if you’re looking to give your mouth a real treat, I suggest you give it a few candied jalapeño-laced deviled eggs. Trust me, if your mouth is anything like mine, it will totally thank you. And if sweet and spicy jalapeños simply aren’t your thing, don’t worry, I’ve still got you covered. You can find all of Faith, Hope, Love, & Luck’s past recipes for deviled eggs RIGHT HERE.
