Steps:
- Stir the water chestnuts together with the garlic powder and soy sauce in a small bowl. Set aside to marinate for 30 minutes.
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil.
- Drain the water chestnuts, discarding the soy sauce. Place a pineapple chunk in the center of each piece of bacon, then place a water chestnut on top of that. Fold the ends of the bacon over the water chestnut, and secure with a toothpick. Repeat with the remaining bacon, pineapple, and water chestnuts. Gently toss the bacon-wrapped chestnuts with brown sugar in a bowl, then place onto the prepared baking sheet.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes, then turn the pieces over, and continue baking 15 to 35 minutes longer until the bacon has cooked to your desired degree of doneness. Briefly drain on a paper towel-lined plate, and serve hot.

BACON WRAPPED WATERCHESTNUTS WITH PINEAPPLE
These are my favorite version of this popular appetizer. The addition of pineapple adds a nice sweetness. These appetizers are always the first to go whenever I serve them. I've had good look pre-baking them and serving them warm in a crock-pot or just reheating in the microwave if you want to make them ahead of time.

Steps:
- Combine the water chestnuts and soy sauce in a resealable plastic bag and let marinate at room temperature, tossing and massaging the bag occasionally, for 30 minutes.
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Wrap each water chestnut in a piece of bacon and secure with a toothpick. Set a cooling rack into a rimmed baking sheet and arrange the bacon-wrapped water chestnuts on top. Bake until the bacon renders its fat and is crisp, about 30 minutes.
- Meanwhile, stir together the ketchup, brown sugar, Worcestershire sauce and 1/3 cup water in a bowl to make a sauce.
- Remove the baking sheet from the oven and carefully lift the cooling rack off the baking sheet. Drain away any fat in the baking sheet and wipe dry with paper towels. Line the baking sheet with foil and lightly spray the foil with nonstick cooking spray. Carefully transfer the bacon-wrapped water chestnuts to the bowl with the sauce, swirling to fully coat, then spread out on the baking sheet.
- Return the baking sheet to the oven and bake, tossing every few minutes, until the sauce is reduced to a sticky glaze, about 15 minutes. Immediately transfer the bacon-wrapped water chestnuts to a warm serving platter. Sprinkle with pepper and serve while hot.

Tips:
- For a crispy bacon wrap, cook the bacon until it is just shy of your desired doneness. The bacon will continue to cook in the oven.
- If you are using wooden skewers, be sure to soak them in water for at least 30 minutes before using. This will help to prevent them from burning in the oven.
- If you don't have any pineapple rings, you can substitute canned pineapple chunks or slices. Just be sure to drain them well before using.
- Feel free to get creative with your dipping sauce. Some popular options include sweet and sour sauce, honey mustard, or barbecue sauce.
Conclusion:
Bacon-wrapped water chestnuts with pineapple are a delicious and easy appetizer that is perfect for any occasion. They are crispy, savory, and sweet, and they always disappear quickly. So next time you are looking for a crowd-pleasing appetizer, give this recipe a try. You won't be disappointed.
