Rumaki

2 cans whole water chestnuts
1 lb. bacon (cut slices into thirds)
1 cup soy sauce
2/3 cup ketchup
1/2 cup brown sugar
toothpicks

Drain water chestnuts and place in a small bowl or liquid measuring cup.  Add soy sauce and soak for a few minutes.  Wrap each water chestnut with bacon, then secure with a toothpick and place on a baking sheet.  Bake @ 350 degrees for 30 minutes or until crisp.  Drain grease from baking sheet.  Stir together brown sugar and ketchup and pour over the rumaki.  Gently stir to coat.  Bake for another 12-15 minutes until glaze has set.  Serve immediately.  (You may wrap the chestnuts with bacon several hours or even the night before your party to save time.)
