These taste like scallops but lots cheaper. The best easy appetizer ever. Good enough that one recipe is not enough, I do several can of chestnuts and a couple of pound of bacon. I also use light brown sugar but that's just choice. Warms over great in the microwave, or keeps hot in a slow cooker. If there are left overs I like them for a quick all for me snack. Cook on a broiler pan, I line the pan with tin foil and spray the top both sides with Pam for ease of cleaning. How many it serves depends on how many you make.
