Melt in Your Mouth Pecan Candy Homemade Pralines

These pralines are a classic Southern treat, rich, sweet, and packed with pecans. The combination of buttery sweetness and crunchy nuts creates a texture that is simply irresistible.

Ingredients

1 cup granulated sugar
1 cup packed brown sugar
½ cup unsalted butter
½ cup heavy cream
2 cups chopped pecans
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
¼ teaspoon salt

Instructions

In a medium saucepan, combine the granulated sugar, brown sugar, and butter. Place the saucepan over medium heat and stir until the sugars dissolve and the mixture begins to boil.
Carefully pour in the heavy cream while stirring continuously. Bring the mixture back to a boil, then reduce the heat to medium-low.
Continue cooking while stirring frequently for about 5-7 minutes or until the mixture reaches a soft ball stage (approximately 235°F to 240°F on a candy thermometer).
Remove the saucepan from heat and allow the mixture to cool for a couple of minutes.
Add the chopped pecans, vanilla extract, and salt to the mixture. Stir well to incorporate all ingredients.
Using a tablespoon or a cookie scoop, drop spoonfuls of the mixture onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Let the pralines sit at room temperature until they firm up, which should take about 30 minutes to 1 hour.
Once set, they are ready to be enjoyed! Store any leftovers in an airtight container.
