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

- 1.5 cups toasted pecans
- 1.5 cups white sugar

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

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.

How to Make Perfect Polenta
Polenta is nothing more than coarsely ground cornmeal. The classic ratio is 1 part polenta to 4 parts water, but I like to measure the polenta just a little scant of a full cup. I often use chicken broth instead of water. It's a great base for any kind of saucy meat or mushroom ragout.
Amazing Shrimp Stuffed Mushrooms
My mom makes these stuffed mushrooms with shrimp every year for the holidays and there are never any leftovers! They are the best stuffed mushrooms I have ever had. I now make them any time I go to a holiday party.
Christmas Molasses and Ginger Cookies
I got this recipe out of one of my mother's cookbooks and tried it one Christmas Eve with her. They were amazing! My brother even loved them, and he is the pickiest person I know. When they were done I threw one to my dog. They are now his favorite treat of all. Hopefully, you will love this recipe as much as we do!
