It was incredibly difficult to choose which one to try but I can never resist bacon and I was looking for something a bit different for our Christmas eve family nibbles.
The recipe is easy to follow, simple to prepare and tastes delicious.
I will definitely be trying more of the gorgeous looking dishes in the book.

You Will Need (11 things)

  • 30 Toothpicks
  • 1 tbsp Hot Chili Sauce

  • for the sauce

  • ¼ cup Sweet Chilli Sauce
  • 2 tbsp Soy Sauce
  • ½ cup Brown Sugar
  • ½ cup Mayonnaise
  • 30 cooked, canned Chestnuts
  • 10 rashers of Bacon cut into strips of 3
  • Baking Sheet
  • Baking Parchment

Steps (8 steps, 45 minutes)

  1. 1

    Gather together the chestnuts, bacon and toothpicks. Cut the bacon strips into three pieces.

  2. 2

    Wrap each chestnut in a piece of the bacon and secure with a toothpick.

  3. 3

    Once you have wrapped all the chestnuts pop them on the prepared baking sheet. If you are out of baking parchment you can always use foil. If you want to do some of the preparation ahead of time you could do this part earlier in the day and chill until needed.

  4. 4

    Gather together all the ingredients for the sauce.

  5. 5

    Mix all the sauce ingredients together.

  6. 6

    Then drizzle (or in my heavy handed way, pour) the sauce over the prepared chestnuts. Pop into a preheated oven at 190C/375F/Gas 5 and bake for 20mins.

  7. 7

    Take them out of the oven and let cool for a couple of minutes. Watch the sauce will be very hot and sticky.

  8. 8

    Serve and enjoy.
