Recipes Appetizers and Snacks Wraps and Rolls Devils on Horseback 4.5 (55) 43 Reviews 7 Photos Devils on horseback are a family favorite appetizer my uncle makes. They are a wonderful balance between salty and sweet, with a combination of crispy, chewy, and crunchy textures. My family destroys a tray of these in fifteen minutes. Double or triple the recipe for a large crowd. Serve on top of watercress greens.
