For a smoother texture, ensure the cream cheese is fully softened before mixing. Toast the pecans lightly before chopping to enhance their nutty flavor. Serve with an assortment of crackers, baguette slices, or even vegetable sticks for a delightful appetizer spread. For a festive touch, consider adding a sprinkle of finely chopped fresh parsley or cilantro to the pecan coating. If you don't have pecans on hand, walnuts or almonds make great substitutes.
