Prepare dates by creating a small slit in the middle using a sharp paring knife. Set aside.

In a small bowl, beat together cream cheese, honey, and cinnamon until smooth. Spoon into a piping bag or a zip-top bag with one of the corners snipped.

Carefully pipe the mixture into the center of each date until full and just peeking over the edge of the slit.

Place the chopped pecans on a small plate. Gently dip the exposed cream cheese into the pecans and press lightly to adhere. Repeat with all of the dates.

Refrigerate until ready to serve.
