These seem to be all over the big box stores now. I've never heard of the variety. It's variegated leaves and fruit. The chili is sweet.
Who'd like to share any experience growing these? Did they do well? Was the fruit good? Did you buy a start or seeds?

All are chilies, regardless of level of heat. Just as all chilies are fruit, regardless of how we eat them. And just how all chilies are inidgenous to the Americas, regardless of where they are grown now.
Anyway, these are in stores in the Pacific Northwest. And, yes, they are described as being sweet.

Right. That's why I don't like hyrbrids, because more than likely you won't get the same F1 plant if you save seed from it. Unless you have a tremendous amount of room and do like @applestar said and attempt to grow out all the F2's and work on dehybridizing the Candy Cane. I'm sure it would take many, many 'F' generations to ensure a fully stable Candy Cane gene. So whoever dehybridizes it, let me know; I want some. But first, what does it taste like? Is the sweetness strong like a bell pepper or weak like a sweet banana or that Italian pepper I've got? I still can't pronounce or spell that name, but I bet it means 'weak flavor'.
