Preheat oven to 375º
Cut bacon strips into thirds, wrap each piece around a chestnut and secure with a toothpick (if chestnuts are too large, cut in half).
Place chestnuts on a baking sheet, leaving space between each one. Bake for 20 mins or until bacon is cooked thoroughly.
While bacon wrapped chestnuts bake, combine ketchup, brown sugar, and Worcestershire sauce in a small sauce pan, mix thoroughly and bring to a slight boil, then remove from heat.
Remove chestnuts from oven, hold by toothpick and dip in sauce mixture. Place in a clean casserole pan and pour any excess sauce over chestnuts.
Place back in oven for 25 more minutes
Crack open beer and drink casually while waiting for finished product
Enjoy!

Personal Notes:
The first time I made these I ate almost half of them before they even made it to the party, I paid for it later that night, but it was well worth it. Consider making 2 batches, they will go quickly!
