Bacon Wrapped Water Chestnuts

    You guys are going to LOVE this one. It's been a hit at every party or gathering I've had or brought these to. Thanks to Dana's mama  :)

Package of Bacon (nitrate free is always good, but buy whatever you want, just not the turkey kind)
Can of WHOLE water Chestnuts
Maple Syrup or Honey (Whatever you have on hand is fine)
Toothpicks (optional)

-Take the long strips of bacon and cut it width-wise in half. Take the half of the strip and cut it lengthwise in half. (1 piece should yield about 4 smaller skinny strips of bacon)
-Take 1 bacon strip and wrap the whole water chestnut around it.
-place each bacon wrapped chestnut on a foil covered cookie sheet
-take your maple syrup or honey and drizzle each little yummy goodness.

-Bake at 400 degrees  for ABOUT 20 minutes or until the bacon looks crispy and ready to eat!
-(optional) stick a toothpick in each one for your guests as a quick little appetizer.

(See below.... looks goood or what?!)

AND another close up for you. to enjoy! Happy holidays!
