All you really need is bacon and  whole water chestnuts
3 cans that size works perfectly with a package of bacon cut into 3's.

Wrap the bacon around the water chestnut and insert toothpick.
Easy huh?
It's a good ideal to soak the toothpicks in water for about 15 minutes 
so that they don't burn while cooking.
Me? I didn't this time hence the lovely black toothpicks.

You can then sprinkle with a little brown sugar, or soya or bbq sauce or 
all three together, you can't go wrong here!
As you may know, I'm a parchment fanatic so....
line your tray, dish or cookie sheet with parchment
 and bake at 350 for 30-40minutes.
Oh yum yum yum yum....

Is a water chestnut really a nut? or is it a vegetable? I like to think it's a vegetable and this is a perfectly balanced snack - bacon +vegetable.
Hmmmm.......lemme check.
Ok, I googled it, a water chestnut is not a nut, it's an edible corm.
What the heck is a corm?
Hmmm..... lemme check.

Oh I get it, it's like a tulip bulb, see...ya learn something everyday!
Now should I change the name of the recipe to bacon Wrapped Corms?
