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

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