Devil's on Horseback
"These taste like scallops but lots cheaper. The best easy appetizer ever. Good enough that one recipe is not enough, I do several can of chestnuts and a couple of pound of bacon. I also use light brown sugar but that's just choice. Warms over great in the microwave, or keeps hot in a slow cooker. If there are left overs I like them for a quick all for me snack. Cook on a broiler pan, I line the pan with tin foil and spray the top both sides with Pam for ease of cleaning. How many it serves depends on how many you make."

I worked as a Nurse for some years but am retired.I like most crafts, like to cook but am real fussy. I do not have a favorite cookbook, I like to read all of them and own many. I like to make breads, and I like to make preserves.
