Begin by taking your pitted dates and using a paring knife to create a small slit down the middle of each date, careful not to cut all the way through.

In a medium mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, honey, and ground cinnamon. Using an electric mixer, beat the mixture on medium speed for about 2-3 minutes until it becomes smooth and creamy.

Transfer the cream cheese mixture into a piping bag, or snip a corner off a zip-top bag for an easy makeshift piping solution.

On a flat plate, spread out the chopped toasted pecans. Gently dip the exposed cream cheese filling of each date into the pecans, pressing lightly to ensure they stick.

Arrange them nicely on a serving platter, cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
