Texas Pecan Pralines image

My pecan praline recipe is special to me for I received it from my mother, who was an excellent cook! I also am a Texas Aggie Mom and I use pecans from a South Texas Aggie grower that our Aggie Mom's club has purchased from for many years. The quality is outstanding and far better than you will find in any grocery store. -Carol Jones, Blue Ridge, Texas

These pralines were a bit too sweet for my taste, but they were still very good. I would recommend using a little less sugar next time.
