Water Chestnuts and Bacon

So last but not least - here is one appetizer I got from my mom! The water chestnuts remind me of when my parents had 500 at their house - and we were allowed 1 plate of food to bring upstairs.....I wouldn't waste my time of the chestnuts then (I was a sausage/cheese girl) , but I sure do now!!

For a group – usually double

Ingredients
1 can whole water chestnuts, drained

½ cup ketchup

¼ cup sugar

Wrap each chestnut in 1/3 slice of bacon and secure with a toothpick
