Hi Jennifer,
I think I found it for you. See below.
Phaed
"Capsaicin the substance that makes chile peppers hot, has been found to
reduce pain in arthritis patients when topically applied repeatedly over
several is weeks. Researchers have found that it reduces substance P which
is found at nerve endings and is involved in transmitting pain signals to
the brain".
"Using this principle, researchers at Yale University School of Medicine
have devised a candy, composed of hot chili peppers and taffy, to ease mouth
pain in cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy. Often chemo causes painful
mouth sores that are difficult to treat. The sugar in the candy inhibits
the burn of the capsacin in the mouth while the capsaicin provides pain
relief."
The following recipe was adapted from the Joy of Cooking Cookbook.
Hot Pepper Candy Recipe:
· 1 cup sugar
· 3/4 cup light corn syrup
· 2/3 cup water
· 1 tbs cornstarch
· 2 tbs butter or marg
· 1 tbs salt
· 2 tsp vanilla
· 1/2 tsp cayenne pepper
· 8x8x2 buttered pan
In 2 qt saucepan, add sugar, corn syrup, water, cornstarch,
butter and salt.
Over medium heat, stirring constantly till hard ball stage (256F).
Remove the pan from heat. stir in vanilla and pepper
Pour candy into buttered pan to cool. Don't scrape the sides of
the saucepan or your candy might crystallize.
When the candy is cool enough to handle, butter your hands (important
unless you like having toffee stuck to you) and pull until satiny and
stiff. Pull into long strips, cut into 1"pieces, and wrap with wax
paper.

Hello Tambrlyn,
The below cake doesn't call for a bundt pan, although it does say "tube
pan", nor does it mention monkeys. However, it does have all the
ingredients. If that's not it, I'll have to have the name of the cake in
order to have a hope of finding it.
