Learn how to make amazing homemade pecan pralines. This recipe is so easy and they wind up tasting like a mix between a no-bake cookie, fudge, and caramel, with pecans. If you are a fand of all of those things you will loves these.

Ingredients
2 cups of brown sugar 210g
1 cup of white sugar 200g
1 cup of whipping cream half and half, or evaporated milk (240g)
1/4 cup of butter salted or unsalted (56g)
3 Tbsp of corn syrup 60g
1 tsp of vanilla extract 5g
1/8 tsp of salt 0.5g

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350F/176C. If you are not roasting your pecans skip this step.

Add the brown sugar, white sugar, heavy cream, butter, and corn syrup to a medium to large heavy bottom pot.

Use medium heat and stir and melt everything together until the temp reaches between 235F and 240F (112 and 115C) which is the soft ball stage. It will take 15 to 20 minutes to get to that temp.

Turn off the heat and allow it to cool down to around 160F to 150F it doesn't have to be precise around 10 minutes is fine.

While the praline mixture is cooling down roast the pecans on a sheet pan for 5 minutes on each side for a total of 10 minutes.

Once the praline mixture has cooled a bit add the vanilla extract and the salt then stir and mix a few seconds.

Next, add the pecans and then stir for a few minutes until the mixture is no longer so glossy.

Use two spoons and scoop some onto a sheet pan lined with parchment paper, wax paper, or a silicone baking mat about 2 inches apart. If it spreads too much the mixture is too warm.

You may also scoop them into paper cups in a muffin tin instead if desired. Which is great if you plan on giving them away to friends or neighbors.
