Servings: 18
Ingredients
- 1 cup light brown sugar
- ½ cup white sugar
- ¼ cup butter
- ½ cup heavy cream
- 2 cups pecan halves
Instructions
- Start by placing a large piece of parchment next to the stove, along with a couple of forks. Combine the brown sugar, white sugar, and butter in a large heavy skillet over medium heat. Allow the butter to melt and then stir while the sugars melt and come to a boil.
- Add the cream while whisking constantly. When the mixture is smooth again, Add the pecans and stir to coat.
- Carefully pour the coated pecans onto the waiting parchment. Working quickly, use the forks to separate the pecans and allow them to cool without clumping together.
- Store the completely cooled pralines in an airtight container.
