Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
In a mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese, dried cherries, honey, and ground black pepper. Use a spoon to mix until well incorporated.
Lay out the bacon slices on a clean work surface. Spread a thin layer of the cream cheese mixture onto each slice of bacon, leaving about 1 inch of space at one end for sealing.
Starting from the cream cheese-covered end, roll up each bacon slice tightly and secure it with a toothpick.
Place the bacon roll-ups seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18 to 20 minutes, or until the bacon is crispy and browned. Keep an eye on them toward the end of the cooking time to avoid overcooking.
Remove the baking sheet from the oven and allow the roll-ups to cool for 5 minutes before serving.
Serve warm as an appetizer or snack and enjoy the devilishly delicious flavor combination!
