Sweet, melt-in-mouth Pralines – a delightful, energy-giving treat any time!
Classic Southern candy with a rich, buttery caramel flavor and crunchy toasted pecans. These melt-in-your-mouth treats are a New Orleans favorite, perfect for holidays or a sweet indulgence.
Serving size: 1 serving
Prepare your workspace. Line two large baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone mats. Have two spoons ready for dropping the pralines. Ensure all your ingredients are measured and ready to go, as the process moves quickly.
Cook the candy base. In a heavy-bottomed 3-quart saucepan, combine the light brown sugar, granulated sugar, and heavy cream. Stir over medium heat until the sugar dissolves completely. Bring the mixture to a boil, then attach a candy thermometer to the side of the pan, ensuring the tip is submerged but not touching the bottom. Continue to cook, without stirring, until the thermometer reaches the soft-ball stage, 238°F (114°C). This will take about 10-12 minutes.

Add remaining ingredients. Immediately remove the saucepan from the heat. Add the butter, toasted pecans, vanilla extract, and salt. Do not stir yet; let the butter melt on top for about 1 minute to help cool the mixture slightly.
Beat the mixture. Using a wooden spoon, begin stirring the mixture continuously and vigorously. Continue stirring for 2-4 minutes. You will see the mixture start to thicken, lose its glossy sheen, and become slightly opaque or matte. It should feel thicker and heavier against the spoon.
Portion the pralines. Working very quickly, use two spoons to drop tablespoon-sized portions of the candy onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches between each one. If the mixture in the pot hardens too quickly, you can place it back on very low heat for 10-15 seconds to loosen it, but be careful not to remelt it.
Set and store. Allow the pralines to cool and harden completely at room temperature, which should take about 30 minutes. Once set, they will lift easily from the parchment paper. Store in an airtight container with parchment between layers.
