Cream margarine; add cheese. Sift together dry ingredients; add to mixture of margarine and cheese. Add pecans. Form into long, log shaped rolls about the size of a half-dollar. Chill.
When firm, slice into wafers and bake on cookie sheet at 375 degrees for approximately 12 minutes. (Bake time will depend on your preference of soft or crisp wafers.)
1 – 10 to 12 oz. bottle seafood sauce
1 small bottle of water

Wrap in foil (shiny side in). Bake at 400 degrees for 10-15 minutes. Best when served slightly warm.
