Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups pecans
- 2 tablespoons butter
- ½ cup evaporated milk
- 1 cup sugar
- ½cup brown sugar
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- ½ teaspoon salt
Method
- Heat a medium-sized pan over medium heat until it’s warm, then melt the butter in the pan.
- Add the sugar, brown sugar, and evaporated milk to the pan. Stir continuously until the sugars have fully dissolved into the mixture. Add Salt and Vanilla: Stir in the salt and vanilla extract.
- Add the pecans and stir the mixture until it begins to thicken. This step helps coat the pecans in the sweet syrup.
- Once the mixture thickens, spoon out portions of it onto a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper to form pralines. Let the pralines sit and cool on the parchment paper until they are fully set and ready to serve.

Notes
Reminder: since humidity can be a factor with moisture in the air preventing pralines from hardening. Ways to avoid this include: make sure to cook them long enough; perhaps on a dry day, for best results!
