16 1 x 1/4 inch sticks Parmesan

16 pitted dates

1 package bacon, each piece sliced into thirds

Preheat the oven to 450.  

Take the parmesan sticks and stuff it into the center of each date.  Wrap each date with 1/3 strip of bacon - securing it with a toothpick - making sure the bacon goes around the entire date.  Place on a baking sheet.  Bake until dates are golden brown and carmelized - about 5 to 6 minutes per side.  Serve.
