party-perfect bites by Milli Taylor is full of fantastic recipes for all of your get- togethers during the festive season. 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.

Instructions

  1. Small 105672 2f2014 11 18 152123 2014 11 18%2b14.16.48

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

  2. Small 105672 2f2014 11 18 152133 2014 11 18%2b14.20.48

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

  3. Small 105672 2f2014 11 18 152141 2014 11 18%2b14.35.31

    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. Small 105672 2f2014 11 18 152151 2014 11 18%2b14.05.37

    Gather together all the ingredients for the sauce.

  5. Small 105672 2f2014 11 18 152202 2014 11 18%2b14.08.47

    Mix all the sauce ingredients together.

  6. Small 105672 2f2014 11 18 152215 2014 11 18%2b14.38.34

    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. Small 105672 2f2014 11 18 152230 2014 11 18%2b14.59.33

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

  8. Small 105672 2f2014 11 18 152246 2014 11 18%2b15.02.17

    Serve and enjoy.
