Directions:

  1. For the praline sauce:.
  2. In a medium, heavy bottomed sauce pan, combine the granulated sugar, brown sugar and dark corn syrup.
  3. Stir in the heavy cream and cook over medium-high heat until the mixture boils, stirring constantly to dissolve the sugars.
  4. Reduce the heat and cook, stirring occasionally, until thickened, about 8-10 minutes.
  5. Cover and keep warm over very low heat until needed.
