Bacon Wrapped Chestnuts

A few years ago my friend made these for a party that we had.  They were such am awesome appetizer and they were gone in about 5 minutes.  I asked her to bring them to every get together that we had, even a party that they had for me before I moved!  I have been craving these things ever since.  The combinations of flavor is so amazing and the sauce is so savory.  I was so glad that she shared the recipe with me!  You will love these too and they will be a hit at any get together!
