I have to apologize to my readers and fellow bloggers about my lack of blogging lately. I really did think that as Fall arrived, Id be on a fall baking and blogging spree. Its just not the case. I have been so busy with other things that arent nearly as fun as cooking. I promise that soon I will be back on the bandwagon.
Last week, we had dinner at a good friends house and they introduced us to these yummy gems. I think these are one of the best appetizers Ive ever had. I made them tonight for my family and we ate them up in about 5 minutes. I was wishing Id made more. But in all actuality, Im glad I didnt, as these are fattening and full of everything we dont want to be eating too much of. I got this recipe from my good friend, Beth. She got it from recipezaar.com and the original recipe is here. Beth served it to us with a yummy honey mustard sauce that is so easy to whip up and just perfect with this dish.

For the chestnuts:
3 cans sliced water chestnuts
1 lb bacon
1/2 cup soy sauce
1/2 cup packed brown sugar
Mix the soy sauce with the brown sugar and whisk until the sugar is dissolved. Marinate the water chestnuts in the soy sauce mixture for at least an hour. Cut the bacon in half crosswise. Take 3 slices of marinated chestnuts and wrap a half slice of bacon around each stack of 3. Secure with a toothpick. Place in a large baking dish that is sprayed with cooking spray. Bake at 400 degrees for 35 minutes.
For the dipping sauce:
1/4 cup honey
1/4 cup mustard
Whisk the honey with the mustard until well combined. Serve immediately.

My mom made something similar and I always remember thinking the same thing as you...I want to have more but it is a good thing more weren't made.
OH! OK, now I get it. Those do look good! And fattening :)
I make something very much like this. The construction is the same, but I bake the little morsels in a mix of equal parts ketchup and brown sugar. (So, sugar and sugar :P)
SO delish!
You've reminded me of this recipe and I have bacon in the house, so I know what we're having for dinner!
