For a deeper, more intense flavor, toast the pecans lightly in a dry skillet before adding them to the sugar mixture. Be careful not to overcook the pralines, as they will become hard and brittle. The mixture should be a light golden-brown color when removed from the heat. If the pralines become too thick to drop easily, you can add a tablespoon of hot water to the saucepan and stir to loosen the mixture. Store the cooled pralines in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week.

Jun 20, 2025I've tried other praline recipes before, but this one is by far the best. The perfect balance of sweet and nutty.

Apr 13, 2025My pralines didn't quite set up properly. I think I might have taken them off the heat too soon. I'll try cooking them a little longer next time.
