Never heard of cowboy candy. Based on your description I was thinking your daughter was MUCH younger. It took me until I was 28 to listen to my father's advice. We all get there sooner or later but for some of use its later or never and regret it. Theres still some things I dont listen to him about...but its mostly because its his opinion and he doesnt have all the facts. In that case to be respectful I just ask him to "trust me".Haha, my daughter made cowboy candy the night before and she tasted the sauce and was like Mumm. She wanted to eat one, preface, shes not a very hot food lover. I warned her the capsaicin needs to leach out into the sauce, that is why they say to rest it two weeks and to let it pickle. NOPE, she tossed one it and about cried and spit it in the trash can. running for a cup and milk. I ate two and tossed out a yea, they are a bit hot.
22 and she still doesn't listen very well.
