What is a Water Chestnut

I tweaked this recipe several times until it was just perfect. I want my recipes to not only taste amazing, but be easy for you to make. After all my testing, the end result was a classic appetizer I could eat endlessly. Delicious flavors, the perfect amount of sweetness, and crisp bacon all around a crunchy water chestnut will make you fall in love too. I’ve now added a video to this post, so you can see exactly how this easy appetizer comes together. Water Chestnuts are aquatic vegetables grown in marshes, streams, and even mud. They grow under water with greens coming up above the surface, can be eaten raw, and are often used in Chinese dishes. They have a mild flavor, but add a great subtly and crunch to recipes. Place the prepared water chestnuts in an air tight container (fully wrapped and speared with a toothpick) and store the sauce in a separate air tight container. Put both containers in the refrigerator until you are ready to bake and serve.
