Ingredients

  • 2 c. white sugar
  • 1 c. light brown sugar
  • 1 stick butter
  • 1 c. milk
  • 2 Tbsp. white Karo syrup
  • 4 c. pecan halves
  • 2 tsp. vanilla

Method

  • Combine first 6 ingredients in saucepan.
  • Cook about 20 minutes over medium heat until it comes to a boil.
  • Stir occasionally and continue cooking until mixture forms a small ball in cold water. Remove from heat.
  • Add vanilla and stir until mixture begins to lose its gloss.
  • Drop small portions onto waxed paper.
  • (Put foil under waxed paper to keep it from sticking to your countertop.) Work fast, keeping saucepan over a warm surface, if it seems to harden too fast.
  • Let pralines cool before removing from waxed paper.
