Everybody loves bacon . . . salty, crispy, fatty goodness. Irresistible. You can add bacon to almost anything and it’s going to taste good. Well, bacon infused vodka I’m not so sure about.
Anyhoo . . . this recipe is an appetizer that I bring to most gatherings, parties and holiday occasions. Sweet, salty, crunchy . . . NOM! It’s quick, it’s easy and it is super yummy! Bacon wrapped water chestnuts are great to make ahead of time and reheated.
