My Mama's Ramake

So maybe you might be familiar with the old school version of this dish which calls for chicken livers to be added to the roll. YUCK !!! I can't even handle that. So imagine my suprise when my mom presented us girls with an updated version. Let me just tell you that these little bacon bites are perfect for a football game but fancy enough for a dinner party. These are great little appetizers that my good friend Jay Haugh said "are these sprinkled with crack because I can't stop eating them!". Oh yeah, they are that good!!!

This could not be easier.

Ingred.
2 cans water chestnuts -drained (asian aisle in the market)
1 lb bacon, each slice cut into thirds - I like Costco thick and sweet apple bacon !
Brown sugar
Dr. Pepper
Toothpicks

Empty the chestnuts into a bowl and cover completly with the Dr. Pepper over night. Drain the cola and coat with brown sugar. Mixing well so that all the chestnuts get covered. Then take 1/3 of a slice of bacon and wrap it around the chestnut and secure it with a toothpick. Place on a baking sheet that is lined with foil and broil them until the bacon is cooked and some what crisp.

Tada - enjoy!
