1 pound bacon
2 cans water chestnuts whole
1 cup ketchup
1/2 cup sugar
Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Cut each bacon strip into four pieces. Wrap each piece of bacon around a water chestnut and secure with a toothpick. Place on cookie sheet and bake for 10 minutes. Drain and place bacon-wrapped tidbits in casserole dish. Mix catsup and sugar and pour over top of tidbits. Cover and bake for 15 minutes more. Makes 72 pieces.
