Bacon-Wrapped Breadsticks

24 (4 1/2-inch) hard sesame seed covered breadsticks
12 slices bacon, cut in half
1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
2 teaspoons garlic powder

Heat oven to 350 degrees F.

Wrap a half slice of bacon around each breadstick spiraling down to cover breadstick. Lay on parchment paper-lined cookie sheet. Bake for about 15 minutes or until bacon looks done. Remove from oven and cool just until able to handle.

Meanwhile mix garlic powder and Parmesan cheese in a shallow bowl. Roll the bacon covered breadsticks in the cheese mixture and set on serving plate.
