Devils on Hatchback
I get more requests for my Devils on Horseback than any other snack time party food that I make; and mine, I'm sure, are just like everyone elses: dates stuffed with cheese, wrapped in bacon, baked til they are crispy as a critter. This is my variation on that classic bite. I use roasted Hatch Green Chiles ('round these parts, Hatch Chiles are gold) and cream cheese to accompany the bacon. The mild spiciness of the pepper is a lovely compliment to the saltiness of the bacon and the sweetness of the cheese (and the honey that I drizzle on towards the end). Cambozola (a German brie-style blue cheese) or any semi firm cheese that you like would be a lovely alternative, but I like to use cream cheese because it is a crowd pleaser. And just between you and me, I just watched a certain citrus-fruit sister eat twelve. And they came out of the oven four minutes ago. - Helenthenanny
