Ingredients
•
2 (8 ounce) cans whole water chestnuts, drained
•
1 1/4 cups soy sauce
•
1 teaspoon garlic powder
•
24 slices thick sliced bacon, cut in half
•
1 (15 ounce) can pineapple chunks, drained

1 cup brown sugar
Directions
1
Combine water chestnuts, soy sauce, and garlic powder in a small bowl; toss to coat. Marinate for 30 minutes.
2
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil.

Drain water chestnuts; discard soy sauce mixture. Place 1 pineapple chunk in center of each bacon half; place 1 water chestnut on top. Fold ends of bacon over pineapple chunk and water chestnut; secure with a toothpick. Repeat with remaining pineapple, bacon, and water chestnuts. Gently toss bacon-wrapped pineapple and water chestnuts in brown sugar in a bowl; place on the prepared baking sheet.
