To candy anything, start with simple syrup,  water : sugar  1 to 1.
Simmer over low heat (crockpot works great)  until reduced by 1/3 and
thin syrup consistancy.
Add seeded ripe chiles - cut a slit in one side and remove the seeds.
continue to cook over low heat for 2 hours. Remove 1 to test, drain on a
rack, when cool roll in granulated sugar.

You can add orange peel or lemon peel to "tweak" the flavor.

You can also candy dried peppers.  Like the piquins -  The original Red
Hots candies.
