Ingredients
- 2 cups Pecans
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 1 cup Dark brown sugar
- 3 tablespoons Dark rum
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
Step 2
In a large skillet over medium-low heat, melt the unsalted butter.
Step 3
Once the butter is fully melted, add the dark brown sugar, dark rum, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and salt to the skillet. Stir well until the mixture forms a smooth caramel-like glaze, about 2-3 minutes.
Step 4
Add the pecans to the skillet and toss them in the glaze until they are evenly coated.
Step 5
Spread the glazed pecans in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
Step 6
Bake the pecans in the preheated oven for 15-18 minutes, stirring halfway through to ensure even roasting.
Step 7
Remove the pecans from the oven and let them cool completely on the baking sheet. The glaze will harden as they cool, giving the pecans a sweet, crisp coating.
Step 8
Once cooled, transfer the Rum Pecans to an airtight container or serve immediately. Enjoy as a snack, dessert topping, or gift!
