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.

Chocolate Chip Pancakes
My kids love these chocolate chip pancakes that are light and fluffy and loaded with gooey chocolate. You can also sprinkle the chocolate chips on top once the pancakes are on the griddle instead of folding them into the batter — that way you can adjust the amount of chocolate chips per pancake.
Picnic Macaroni Salad
This picnic macaroni salad recipe goes great with baked beans and any barbecued or grilled meat. Perfect for a picnic!
Traditional Pecan Pie in a Jar
Traditional Pecan Pie in a Jar has a deeply toasted, sweet, luxurious flavor. Just break through the caramelized, crispy pecan topping to expose the amber-colored rich filling and flaky crust inside. Serve with sweetened whipped cream or vanilla ice cream, if desired.
