Preheat oven to 400º. Stuff each date with a Brazil nut, 2 jumbo cashews, and about half a teaspoon of cheese.
Cut each slice of bacon in half. Wrap a strip of bacon around each date, making sure that the ends of the strip overlap a bit. Keep the seams neatly tucked under the dates. Set the finished dates on a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper.
Bake at 400º for about 8 to 10 minutes, or until the bacon starts to turn golden and gets slightly crispy on the edges. Remove from oven and allow to cool for at least 10 to 15 minutes before serving.
