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.

Baked Ziti Plus
Standard baked ziti with sausage, peppers, and onions added to the sauce. There may be more pasta and sauce that cannot fit into the pans. That's ok, it tastes delicious without baking as well!
Heart-Shaped Cookies
These wonderful heart-shaped cookies are filled with strawberry jam. I use a no-fail sugar cookie recipe to make them. I know you will enjoy them!
Game Day Crunch
This sweet, salty, caramel snack mix recipe was given to me several years ago by a coworker. I make it for parties, game nights, and, of course, Game Days.
