How to Make Bacon Wrapped Chestnuts
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Cut 1 pound of bacon strips lengthwise into thirds, then cut each third in half.
- Wrap each chestnut with a half-strip of bacon, securing with a toothpick.
- Place bacon-wrapped chestnuts in an ungreased 13x9 inch baking pan.
- Bake uncovered for 25 minutes.
- While chestnuts bake, prepare the glaze (see step 7).
- In a small bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup maple syrup, 2 tablespoons brown sugar, 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar, and 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon.
- After 25 minutes of baking, carefully turn the chestnuts, then drizzle evenly with the maple-balsamic glaze.
- Bake for an additional 25-35 minutes, or until bacon is crisp and chestnuts are tender. Internal temperature should reach 180°F (82°C).
- Remove from oven and let cool slightly before serving. Remove toothpicks before serving.
