Ingredients
Scale
- 1 1/2 cups sugar
- 3/4 cup light brown sugar, packed
- 1/2 cup whole milk
- 6 tablespoons butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 cups pecans, coarsely chopped
Instructions
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Set aside.
- In a medium saucepan, combine the sugar, brown sugar, milk, butter, vanilla and pecans. Cook the syrup over medium-high heat. Stir occasionally until the mixture comes to a boil. Boil the syrup while stirring constantly until the syrup registers 240 degrees F on a candy thermometer, about 5 minutes.
- Remove the pan from heat while continuing to stir until the syrup eventually thickens and becomes grainy.
- Drop spoonfuls of the praline syrup onto the parchment paper. Allow the pralines to set, at least 15 minutes. Serve at room temperature.
