Honey glazed Bacon with Water Chestnuts and Gorgonzola

Every family has a special dish hiding in the family heirlooms and mine just happens to involve bacon. I've never been much of a bacon fan as just the thought of eating it made me think years had been taken off of my life but with all that aside, these little treats make wonderful appetizers at social gatherings.

Ingredients:
4-5 pieces of bacon
3 oz. can whole water chestnuts, drained
Gorgonzola cheese, crumbled
1 tsp honey

Directions:
Preheat the oven for 400 degrees. Line a flat baking pan with tinfoil and lightly butter the surface so as to prevent sticking.
Taking one piece of bacon, cut in half and wrap around a water chestnut. Pierce with a toothpick and lay on the baking pan. Repeat until all of the bacon has been used. Using a glazing brush (or your fingers), lightly coat the bacon with honey. Bake in the oven for 15 minutes or until crispy.

After the bacon is done cooking, add the gorgonzola to the toothpick in a kabob-like manner. If you can't get the gorgonzola to stay on the toothpick, simple sprinkle on top of the bacon chestnuts. Enjoy!
