Directions:

Preheat the oven to 350°F. Place the pecans on a baking sheet. Bake until brown and aromatic, 7 to 10 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool. Combine the cream cheese, Stilton, port, honey, and pepper together in a food processor. Process until smooth. Transfer to a plastic bag and squeeze mixture into one corner. Spread 24 pecan halves flat-side down on the sheet tray. Cut a small tip off the corner of the bag of cheese mixture. Pipe about 1/4 teaspoon of the cheese mixture evenly onto each pecan half. Top with a second pecan, flat-side down, and pipe about 1/4 teaspoon of the cheese mixture onto each napoleon. Sprinkle with chopped chives to garnish.
