Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups pecans Halved or chopped
- 1 1/2 cups sugar
- 3/4 cup brown sugar
- 6 Tablespoons unsalted butter cubed
- 1/2 cup evaporated milk not sweetened condensed milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
Instructions
- Prepare a muffin tin by filling with cupcake liners; set aside.
- Add all ingredients to a large pot over medium-high heat. Stir consistently as you bring to a boil.
- Use a candy thermometer to check the temperature — when it reads 235-240°F remove pan from heat. (This should take about 10 minutes or so).
- Use wooden spoon to vigorously stir the mixture, so that it thickens as it cools and starts to have a cloudier appearance. This should take anywhere from 2-5 minutes.
- While the mixture is still hot, use a cookie scoop to portion out the praline mixture into your muffin tin. You want to make sure to cover the bottom of each cupcake liner.
- Allow to cool completely until firm.
- Remove the cupcake liner before serving.
