🥬 Vegetarian 🌾 Gluten-Free 🥜 Nut-Free ☪️ Halal ✡️ Kosher

I had pralines in New Orleans and loved them, so I tried different combos and liked this one best.

Ingredients

  • 1.5 cups toasted pecans
  • 1.5 cups white sugar
  • 0.75 cups brown sugar
  • 0.5 cups milk
  • 0.38 cups butter
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. 1

    Gather all ingredients. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil.

  2. 2

    Combine pecans, white sugar, brown sugar, milk, butter, and vanilla in a large saucepan over medium heat; bring to a boil. Do not stir once mixture begins to boil. Heat to 240 degrees F (115 degrees C) or until a small amount of syrup dropped into cold water forms a soft ball that flattens when removed from water and placed on a flat surface.

  3. 3

    Drop by spoonfuls onto the prepared baking sheet. Let cool completely.
