Yummy! We ate them all up – not a crumb remained.

Devils on horseback is a delightful appetizer with origins in traditional British cuisine. These little bites are dates wrapped in crispy bacon, offering a perfect balance between sweet, savory, and smoky flavors. They’re particularly loved for their contrasting textures – the crispy bacon exterior and the soft, sweet date inside. This dish is a hit at family gatherings and holiday parties, offering a deliciously simple treat that wows with every bite. It’s perfect for those looking to impress their guests with minimal effort.
These devils on horseback pair wonderfully with a fresh, crisp salad or a platter of seasonal vegetables to balance the richness of the bacon. You could also serve them alongside a selection of cheeses and crackers for an elegant appetizer spread. For a heartier pairing, consider serving with a creamy potato dish or garlic breadsticks.
