Cut up 3 pounds of Bacio® cheese. Spray sheet pan with pan spray and line the bottom with Bacio cheese. Place in oven to melt and slightly caramelize the top of the cheese. Take out of oven and chill in cooler until under 40ºF.
Cut cooled cheese into strips, about 4 inches long. Take a bacon slice and wrap from end to end covering the cheese stick. Take another bacon slice and wrap around covering all sides so none of the cheese is showing. Use toothpick to hold into place.
Place in fryer until bacon is cooked and crispy. Serve with dipping sauce of choice.
