Bacon Wrapped Cheese Breadsticks

• 1 17.3 ounce package of Pepperidge Farms puff pastry, thawed but still cool
• 16 thin slices of bacon, I used center cut because they are shorter, if your bacon is long you may need to trim it
• 1/3 cup finely shredded cheese, I used italian four cheese blend
• 1 tsp cayenne pepper
• 1/2 tsp black pepper
• 1/2 light brown sugar

1. Preheat the oven to 400.
2. Line a baking sheet with foil.
3. Sray a rack that can fit inside the baking sheet really well with non stick spay.
4. Make sure it's well covered with spay or the breads ticks can stick.
5. Lay the puff pastry on a parchment covered surface
6. Sprinkle cayenne pepper over puff pastry sheets
7. Then sprinkle with cheese, press lightly to stick
8. Cut 8 vertical slices down each sheet of puff pastry, making 16 cuts total
9. Twist each cut into a breadstick shape
10. Wrap a slice of bacon around each breadstick
11. Combine light brown sugar and pepper on a plate
12. Gently roll bacon wrapped breadsticks in sugar/pepper to coat lightly.
13. Place on prepared rack in baking pan and bake until pastry is cooked and bacon is crisp, about 35 to 55 minutes.
14. Turn to prevent sticking.
15. When done transfer carefully to foil to cool enough to set.
16. They are good warm or at room temperature
