Ingredients

2 cups packed light brown sugar
1 cup granulated sugar
1 1/4 cups milk
1/4 cup light corn syrup
1/8 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 1/2 cups pecan halves (5 1/2 oz)

Steps:

In heavy 3-quart saucepan, heat brown sugar, granulated sugar, milk, corn syrup and salt to boiling, stirring constantly. Reduce heat to medium. Cook uncovered about 15 minutes, without stirring, to 236°F on candy thermometer or until small amount of mixture dropped into cup of very cold water forms a soft ball that flattens when removed from water. Cool about 1 hour, without stirring, until saucepan is cool to the touch.
Add vanilla and pecan halves. Beat with spoon about 1 minute or until mixture is slightly thickened and just coats pecans but does not lose its gloss. On waxed paper, drop mixture by spoonfuls, dividing pecans equally. Let stand uncovered 1 to 2 hours or until candies are firm and no longer glossy.
Wrap candies individually in waxed paper or plastic wrap. Store in airtight container.

I'm allergic to nuts, so I can't eat these pralines. :(

These pralines are way too expensive. I can find them for much cheaper at the store.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my pralines turned out too hard. I think I might have cooked them for too long.

I found these pralines to be a bit bland. They could use a little more flavor.

These pralines are a little too sweet for my taste, but they're still pretty good.

These pralines are the perfect treat to enjoy on a cold winter day. They're sweet, nutty, and have just the right amount of chewiness.

I've tried many praline recipes over the years, but this one is by far the best. The pralines are always smooth and creamy, with just the right amount of crunch.
