Let the cheese get to room temperature. It will be easier to mix. You can cut roll them and cut them to whatever size you prefer. If you like things with heat, add more cayenne pepper.

Ingredients
Directions
Preheat oven to 350.
Mix first 3 ingredients in a large bowl.
Add butter and cheese and mix thoroughly with hands. If mixture does not begin to hold together, add 2-4 tablespoons more melted butter.
Form into 4 or 5 rolls, approximately 1 1/2 inches in diameter, rolling between sheets of waxed paper. Compact well. Wrap each roll in waxed paper, twisting ends.
Refrigerate overnight or up to 2-3 days.
Slice about ¼ inch thick and place on a cookie sheet that has been lined with parchment (this really keeps them from sticking).
Press a pecan half into as many as you want.
Bake at 450 degrees until very lightly browned, about 8 minutes. Watch carefully. It doesn’t take long.
