Preparation
    Stuff dates with pecan halves. Set aside.
    Cream the cheese and the margarine together well. Add flour, salt, and cayenne pepper. Mix well. (Note: this dough should be very stiff.).

    Cut long strips into 2 -3 inch pieces. Wrap these pieces around pecan-stuffed dates.
    Roll in sugar and place on a cookie sheet.
