Pecan Praline Recipe
Report
Pecan Pralines are a traditional Southern with crunchy pecans and a soft, buttery-sweet base. And they're only 5 ingredients!

Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
- 3/4 brown sugar firmly packed
- 6 tbsp butter
- 1/2 cup half-and-half
- 2 cups pecan halves
Instructions
- Line a baking sheet with waxed paper. In a large heavy-bottomed saucepan over low heat, combine sugar, brown sugar, butter, half-and-half, and pecans.
- Cook until sugar dissolves, about 2-3 minutes, stirring gently. Increase heat to medium and cover. Cook until sugar dissolves from the side of the pan, about 2-3 minutes longer.
- Uncover and cook until praline reaches soft ball stage, 235 degrees on a digital thermometer, while stirring constantly (see note 3).
- Remove from heat. Using a wooden spoon, beat the mixture until it begins to thicken. Drop by rounded tablespoons onto the prepared baking sheet, and allow to stand at room temperature until firm.
Notes
- Store pralines in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 weeks.
- Half and half: Or substitute heavy whipping cream.
- Pecans: Or substitute walnuts for Walnut Pralines, almonds for Almond Pralines, or peanuts for Peanut Pralines.
- Stuck: If the praline mixture becomes hard in the pan, hot water a teaspoon at a time and stir until loose enough to scoop.
- Yield: This recipe makes about 24 Pecan Pralines.
- Storage: Store pralines in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 weeks.
