Tips:

- Use high-quality pecans for the best flavor. - If you don't have dark rum, you can substitute light rum or bourbon. - Be careful not to overcook the pecans, or they will become dry and brittle. - Once the pecans are coated in the glaze, spread them out in a single layer on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet. This will help them crisp up and prevent them from sticking together. - Store the spiced pecans in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 weeks.

Conclusion:

These spiced pecans with rum glaze are a delicious and easy-to-make snack or gift. They're perfect for parties, potlucks, or just enjoying at home.
