Colombians love prunes wrapped in bacon. I, personally, feel that every occasion is the perfect occasion to eat prunes wrapped in bacon. I used to get weird looks from people who had not heard of these when I would mention making them. Thank goodness Devils on horseback became popular via the internet and the food channels, now people give me confused stares for different reasons.
There is a place in San Francisco called Sweet Maple that makes something called Millionaire’s Bacon. I don’t know if they invented it, but it is pretty crazy and delicious. It is spicy candied bacon. Click here to see how they make this sweet and spicy delicacy.

I decided that my Devil’s on Horseback deserved a little sprucing so I decided to honor Millionaire’s bacon by adding cayenne and brown sugar to the mix. It turned out pretty darn good.
