Spiced Pecans with a Rum Glaze

If you are looking for a delicious sweet treat for gifting this holiday season, try these spiced pecans with a rum glaze.

These spiced pecans are so easy to make, and totally tasty as a cocktail party snack.

These spiced pecans are light, sweet, and spicy, and totally will call your name once you have a taste. I'm pretty sure you won't be able to stop at just one.

I've been totally intrigued by creating delicious candied nuts, including this recipe for candied pecans, and this recipe for rosemary, cayenne, and brown sugar cashews.

I also love the combination of rum and pecans, including rum cake with pecans.
