Serving the perfect entree is always a breeze for us - our biggest challenge is to find that perfect appetizer recipe! Not only must they look 'fancy' enough for the adults, but they also need to double as kid's appetizers as well!!

BACON WRAPPED WATER CHESTNUTS APPETIZER

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.
