Review: This looked like such a fun pie to make for the holidays. It originally called for dark rum, but couldn't find any in local liquor stores, at least none in a size less than a liter! So, I used a bit of Captain Morgan's, though I considered using an espresso rum. I also liked using Trader Joe's mix of nuts, since it included macadamia nuts! Yum. So, it did seem similar to a pecan pie, but was so much more exotic. I looooooooved this pie!!
