1. Place the oven rack in the middle of the oven, and preheat to 450 degrees F.
2. Stuff each prune with a cube of blue cheese.
3. Wrap a piece of bacon around each prune, covering the cheese so it cant escape once baked.
4. Use the toothpick to secure the bacon.
5. Place the bacon-wrapped prunes on a sheet tray lined with a wire rack, and sprinkle with the smoked paprika.
6. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes, or until the bacon is crisp.
