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.

Snow Miser Smoothie Bowl
This smoothie bowl is inspired by my favorite Christmas cartoon, "The Year Without Santa Claus". One of my favorite parts was Snow Miser. Here I made pears, banana, apple, and skyr mixed with blue spirulina, then topped it with dragon fruit and grated fresh coconut. I wanted to make a smoothie bowl that looked like Snow Miser's blue face and speckled white hair. He's too much!
