Instructions

  1. Toast the Pecans: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Preheat oven to 350°F. Spread pecan halves on sheet.  Bake 7-10 minutes, flipping halfway. Pecans will begin to brown and become aromatic
  2. Fasten the candy thermometer to the side of a large saucepan. Add the sugars, butter and milk. Stir consistently over medium high heat and bring the mixture to 235-240°F. *
  3. Remove from the heat and mix in the pecans and vanilla. Store for about 2-3 minutes. The mixture will thicken as it cools. It will also lose some of its glossiness.
  4. Use a cookie scoop to drop mixture onto the parchment paper. Work fast as the mixture in the pot will set quickly.
  5. Allow pralines to cool and solidify for a couple of minutes before serving.

Notes

  • *No Candy Thermometer? You can use cold water to determine if the mixture has reached the soft ball stage. Once the mixture is bubbling and frothy scoop a dollop and place it in a bowl of cold water. The mixture will solidify and turn to a soft ball. Remove the dollop from the water and place it on the counter. It should slowly flatten.
  • If the mixture hardens in the water it has been cooked too long. If the mixture doesn't solidify into a soft texture then it needs to be cooked a bit longer.
