10 oz. water chestnuts, drained
1/4 c. soy sauce
1/4 c. granulated sugar
8 bacon slices, half cooked or raw, cut in half crosswise

Marinate chestnuts in soy sauce for 30 minutes to 1 hour. Stir often to distribute. Remove chestnuts and roll in sugar. Wrap bacon around chestnuts, securing with toothpick. Arrange on baking sheet. Bake at 400 degree oven for 10 to 20 minutes until bacon is cooked. May also be broiled. Makes 16.

Variation: Roll in brown sugar for a treat. Sugar may be omitted entirely if preferred.
