Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Cut each cheese stick in half to make 24 shorter sticks.
In a small bowl, mix together the brown sugar, garlic powder, and smoked paprika.
Wrap each cheese stick with a slice of bacon, securing the ends with toothpicks.
Roll each bacon-wrapped cheese stick in the brown sugar mixture to coat evenly.
Place the bacon-wrapped cheese sticks on the prepared baking sheet.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes or until the bacon is crispy and the cheese is melted.
Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving.
Enjoy!
