Bacon-Wrapped Parmesan Dates

Ingredients
24 Medjool dates, pitted
24 matchstick-cut pieces Kowalski's Parmesan cheese (cut from a chunk), about ¼" x ¼" x 1 ½"
12 slices Kowalski's Signature Bacon, cut crossways into halves
24 toothpicks
Directions

Stuff each date with 1 piece of cheese; set aside. Place bacon on a rimmed baking sheet; bake in a preheated 450° oven until bacon is starting to crisp but is still pliable (about 7 min.). Remove from oven, allowing bacon to cool until just warm enough to handle. Wrap partially cooked bacon around each date, securing with a toothpick; place 1" apart on baking sheet. Bake until bacon is fully cooked and lightly crispy (10-12 min.), turning once. Drain on paper towels; serve warm.
