Bacon Wrapped Waterchestnuts-Sweet Dipping Sauce

By srumbel

Not only are freakin’ tasty, but they are super easy to make, using only 4 ingredients. And let’s be honest, anything that is covered in Bacon is going to rock your socks off. Am I right? The bacon gets nice and crispy the outside while the water chestnuts softens up in the oven. When you top
it with the sweet dipping sauce these babies are like bacon candy that
melts in your mouth.

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 400.
Wrap each waterchestnut with one strip of bacon (remember that you need to slice each strip in half). Secure the waterchestnut in place using a toothpick, going through the bacon, waterchestnut, and bacon again.
Place on a parchment lined baking sheet.
Bake for 15 minutes, flip all bacon wrapped waterchestnuts to brown on the other side. Bake an additional 15 minutes. Remove from oven.
In a small bowl, mix ketchup and brown sugar until brown sugar is dissolved.
Serve bacon wrapped waterchestnuts with sweet dipping sauce.

Yield: 36-40 Bacon Wrapped Waterchestnuts
