Caribbean Rum Nuts

Gina: Girl, my favorite nut is the pecan! It is the all-American nut, and once you mix in cashews, you’ve got somethin’ rocking. I serve this dangerously addictive appetizer at my “Girl Power” get-togethers because it’s great with drinks (and because we ladies deserve a special treat).

Cooks' Note

The nuts may soften slightly when heated, but they will regain their crispy texture when they cool.
