BACON WRAPPED WATER CHESTNUTS APPETIZERS


2 cans water chestnuts
1 lb. bacon (preferably maple flavored)

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Lightly fry bacon to remove fat (do not fry crisp - bacon slices should still be limp). Wrap each water chestnut with a half a slice of bacon and secure with a toothpick. Bake on an ungreased cookie sheet 20-30 minutes until bacon is crisp and water chestnuts are hot.
