What can I substitute for Water Chestnuts in Tangy Bacon Roll Ups?

I love the snausages commercials. So DH and I typically call L'il Smokies "Snausages" because that's what they look like.

So, we are doing this Bunco party tomorrow......Since it's a Bunco party, I thought we should do snack type food. The Tangy Bacon Roll Ups look good, but I'm not a fan of Water Chestnuts, and I'm not sure anyone else will be either.

Any suggestions for substitutions??

Just about any of the dips are yummy. I love the Cannoli Dip.

How about cool veggie pizza or clubhouse chicken squares. You could have them cut into small squares and set out on plates.

Thanks Ann. Those are great ideas, but I guess I didn't clarify. What would make a good substitution for the Water Chestnuts. Thanks.

Little smokey joes. Yummy!
 
I'm not a fan of water chestnuts but do like them in that recipe...

...how about a tangy bacon wrapped meatball?

Still thinking of other possiblities...
 
I like the Smokey Joes idea Rebecca has...
 
Can't go wrong with snausages! Although pineapple chunks would probably be good, too.

That made me chuckle because being a dog owner, that is the name of a dog treat. I bet my puppies would love to have them wrapped in bacon! :)

My now 3 year old used to quote that commercial when he was 1 1/2 and giggle!

1. How do I make Tangy Bacon Roll Ups?

To make Tangy Bacon Roll Ups, you will need bacon, cream cheese, green onions, and crescent roll dough. First, preheat your oven to 375 degrees. Then, cook the bacon until it is crispy and crumble it into small pieces. Mix the crumbled bacon with softened cream cheese and chopped green onions. Roll out the crescent roll dough and spread the bacon mixture evenly on top. Roll the dough up into a log and slice it into individual rolls. Place the rolls on a baking sheet and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown. Enjoy!

Yes, you can use pre-cooked bacon for Tangy Bacon Roll Ups. Simply crumble the pre-cooked bacon and mix it with the cream cheese and green onions as directed in the recipe. You may need to adjust the baking time slightly, as the pre-cooked bacon may not need as much time to cook as raw bacon.
