5 mins
Prepare your baking sheets by generously buttering them. This will prevent the pralines from sticking and ensure easy removal. (Prep time: 5 minutes)
02 Step

2 mins
In a large, heavy-bottomed saucepan, combine the brown sugar, granulated sugar, water, and butter. (Prep time: 2 minutes)
03 Step

7 hrs
Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a rapid boil, stirring constantly to prevent scorching. (Cook time: 5-7 minutes)
04 Step

1 hrs
Once boiling rapidly, stir in the chopped pecans, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the sugar mixture. (Cook time: 1 minute)
05 Step

9 hrs
Continue to cook and stir the mixture until large, glossy bubbles form on the surface, the pecans begin to appear sugary, and the mixture just starts to develop a light golden-brown color. This is a crucial step, so keep a close eye on the pralines to prevent burning. (Cook time: 8-10 minutes)
06 Step

5 hrs
Remove the saucepan from the heat immediately. Using two spoons, carefully drop rounded spoonfuls of the praline mixture onto the prepared buttered baking sheets, leaving some space between each praline. (Prep time: 5 minutes)
07 Step

30 hrs
Allow the pralines to cool completely on the baking sheets. As they cool, they will harden and set into their characteristic praline shape. (Cool time: 30 minutes)
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.
