Candy Thermometer: Helps reach the precise soft-ball stage (235°F or 112°C) for perfect texture.

Wooden Spoon: Ideal for stirring the hot mixture without conducting heat.

Baking Sheet: For dropping and cooling the pralines, lined with parchment paper or lightly greased to prevent sticking.

Parchment Paper or Silicone Baking Mat: Ensures pralines can be easily removed after cooling.

Ingredients
  • 2 cups granulated sugar
  • 1 cup brown sugar (packed)
  • 1 cup evaporated milk
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter
  • 1/8 tsp salt
  • 2 cups pecan halves
  • 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
Instructions
  1. 1
    1. Prepare the Ingredients: Start by gathering all ingredients. Grease a baking sheet lightly or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
    2. Cook the Mixture: In a heavy-bottomed saucepan, combine the granulated sugar, brown sugar, evaporated milk, butter, and salt. Set over medium heat, stirring continuously until the sugars fully dissolve.
    3. Bring to a Boil: Continue cooking and stirring until the mixture reaches a soft-ball stage (about 235°F or 112°C on a candy thermometer). This will take around 10–15 minutes.
    4. Add Pecans and Vanilla: Remove from heat and quickly stir in the pecans and vanilla extract. Continue stirring until the mixture thickens slightly but is still pourable.
    5. Shape the Pralines: Using a spoon, drop spoonfuls of the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet to create individual pralines. Let them sit and cool until fully set.
    6. Cool and Serve: Allow the pralines to cool completely before serving or storing.
