For a smoother texture, ensure the cream cheese is thoroughly softened before mixing. Toasting the pecans lightly before chopping can enhance their nutty flavor. Consider adding a dash of hot sauce or a pinch of red pepper flakes for a subtle kick. Serve with an assortment of crackers, crudités, and baguette slices for a diverse range of dipping options.
