I've made this twice and both times they were gone in a heartbeat. The first time I may have went a little overboard on the "drizzle" so they took a little longer to get crispy but everybody still loved them. I also quartered the bacon instead of just in half and it worked great. If you do it this way I suggest getting the longest bacon so you don't have to try to "stretch" it to fit.

Just used these for a party and got rave reviews. I cut the brown sugar down to a few tablespoons, marinated for an hour, then wrapped a water chestnut and a whole date in the bacon. I prepared them the day before and wrapped and refrigerated them. My husband cooked them on an iron skillet on the grill. The combination of salty and sweet flavors, plus the crunch from the water chestnuts, are fabulous. We tried them with and without the dates and believe the addition of the dates is a plus.
