Our favorite appetizer--always a hit, even if you don't like water chestnuts:
Cut raw bacon (not thick slices) into about 3 inch strips. Wrap a piece around a whole canned water chestnut. (1 pound of bacon does maybe 2 small cans of water chestnuts).
Secure it with a toothpick.
Line them up on a broiling pan (or aluminum foil covered cookie sheet)
Broil about 5 min.
Turn them over and broil another couple minutes til the bacon looks cooked.
Make some sauce--
about 2/3 c brown sugar to 1/3 c ketchup. Heat in a small sauce pan until warm--doesn't need to boil.
Dip the wrapped chestnuts in the sauce.
At this point you can either put them right into a crock pot to keep them warm, or you can re broil for a couple minutes to make sure the sauce it broiled onto them. I just put them into the crock pot, and they are great
