Time 40m

Yield About 30 pralines

Number Of Ingredients 8

3 cups pecans
1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
1 1/2 cups light brown sugar
3/4 cup heavy cream
1/3 cup milk
1/3 cup butter
3/4 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Steps:

  • Spread the pecans on a baking sheet and bake in a 350-degree oven until lightly toasted, 10 to 15 minutes.
  • Combine all the ingredients except the pecans and vanilla extract in a 4-quart glass bowl. Heat in a microwave oven on high power for 5 minutes. Using oven mitts or potholders, carefully transfer the bowl to a countertop and stir with a heat-resistant spatula. Return to microwave and heat for 5 more minutes.
  • Stir in the pecans and heat for another 5 minutes. Stir and check the temperature with a digital or candy thermometer. If it reads 240 degrees, proceed to Step 4. If not, continue heating on high power, stirring and checking the temperature every minute until it does.
  • Remove from oven and let the mix sit undisturbed. After 20 minutes, add the vanilla extract and stir vigorously until it becomes cloudy and creamy. Using 2 spoons, scoop and shape into 2-inch-diameter mounds on a baking sheet lined with foil, parchment paper or a silicone mat. If the mix becomes too hard to shape, reheat for 15 seconds. Let the pralines rest for 30 minutes. Keep stored in an airtight container.

These pralines are a little too rich for my taste. I think I'll try a different recipe next time.

I'm not a big fan of pralines, but these were actually really good. I might even make them again.

I'm allergic to pecans, so I substituted walnuts in this recipe. They turned out great!

I followed the recipe exactly, but my pralines didn't turn out right. They're too hard and brittle.

These pralines are a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I'll try reducing the amount of sugar next time.

I was really impressed with how well these pralines turned out. They're just as good as the ones I've had from candy stores.

These pralines were so easy to make in the microwave! I was skeptical at first, but they turned out perfectly. They're rich, buttery, and have the perfect amount of crunch. I'll definitely be making these again.
