The South's Finest Pralines image

If my husband happened to cross paths with a praline during his travels, he would always pick a few up for me as a gift for me... a sweet gesture and a sweet treat indeed! I love these nutty, buttery candies, and they're easier to make than you might think. Give Leah's recipe a try and make some sweet memories of your own.

Categories     Candies

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 1/2 c sugar
1 1/2 c packed light brown sugar
1/8 tsp salt
3 Tbsp dark corn syrup
1 c evaporated milk
2 Tbsp butter
1 tsp pure vanilla extract
1 1/2 c pecan halves

Steps:

  • 1. In a 2 quart sauce pan, put the sugars, salt, corn syrup, milk, and butter in. Over medium heat, stir mixture constantly with a wooden spoon until sugars have dissolved and mixture comes to a boil.
  • 2. Continue to cook to a soft ball stage, approximately 236 degrees F on a candy thermometer.
  • 3. Remove from heat and allow it to cool for 8 minutes.
  • 4. Add the vanilla and nuts, and beat with a spoon by hand for approximately 2 minutes or until candy is slightly thick and begins to lose its gloss.
  • 5. Quickly drop heaping tablespoons onto parchment paper. If the candy becomes stiff, add a few drops of hot water.
