1
Prepare the Jalapeños
Slice the jalapeños in half lengthwise and remove the seeds and membranes for a milder flavor. If you prefer more heat, you can leave some seeds in.
2
Stuff the Jalapeños
Take a piece of soft caramel candy and press it into the halved jalapeño. Make sure it is well packed and fills the cavity.

3
Mix the Batter
In a mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, milk, and egg. Whisk until smooth and well combined.

4
Heat the Oil
In a deep pan or fryer, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).
5
Dip and Fry
Dip each stuffed jalapeño into the batter, ensuring it is completely coated. Carefully place the battered jalapeño into the hot oil. Fry for about 3-4 minutes or until golden brown.
6
Drain and Dust
Use a slotted spoon to remove the fried jalapeños from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. Dust with powdered sugar while still warm.
