Lightly spray coat of nonstick spray, then butter and flour bottom of bundt pan. Sprinkle chopped pecans onto the buttered pan.

To make the primary glaze, gently boil 1 stick butter, sugar, 1/2 cup rum, 1/4 cup water and crushed 1/4 cup crushed peanut butter candy bar. When cake is ready, remove from oven and place on foil-covered hot plate. Prick top of cake with fork several times around top. Pour glaze over top of cake, saturating evenly. Use all of the glaze.
