  • 1 1/2 cups dark brown sugar
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 3 tbsp butter
  • 1 tsp vanilla
  • 2 cups pecan halves, and pieces

Directions:

  1. Butter a jelly-roll pan.

  3. Continue boiling until a candy thermometer registers 238 degrees F., or the candy reaches the soft ball stage.
  4. Remove from heat, add the pecans, and beat well with a wooden spoon for no more than 1 minute.
  5. Immediately pour the candy onto the buttered jelly-roll pan. Let the candy stand for 1 hour, or until it has cooled (dried).
  6. Break the candy in pieces and store the pralines in an airtight container.
