Instructions

Step 1

Combine the sugars, milk and butter in a medium-sized pot and cook over a medium-high heat, stirring occasionally.

Step 2

When the mixture comes to a boil, add the pecans and start stirring constantly. Let the syrup boil for 3 minutes, until the syrup registers 238-240° F on a candy thermometer.

Step 3

Remove the pan from the heat, add the vanilla.

Step 4

Continue to stir constantly. The syrup will become creamy and cloudy. As you stir, you will notice the syrup thicken. When you start to feel the syrup get grainy, the pralines are ready.

Step 5

Working quickly, drop by spoonfuls onto parchment paper. Let cool for at least 10 minutes before eating.
