Matt’s Famous Pecan Pralines

Ingredients:

• 1 1/2 cups sugar

• 3/4 cup brown sugar

• 6 tablespoons butter

• 1/2 cup evaporated milk

• 8 ounces pecan halves

• 2 teaspoons salt

• 2 teaspoons vanilla

Melt butter, sugars, salt, and milk in a pot on medium heat. Add pecans and stir constantly, slowly bringing the temperature to “soft ball” 234-240 degrees F. Remove from heat, add vanilla and continue stirring for about 3-5 minutes. Just as it begins to thicken, use two spoons to scoop and drop bite size pieces onto parchment paper. Enjoy after they cool.

Makes 1 1/2-2 dozen (depending on size)

WARNING: DO NOT TOUCH HOT SUGAR!!
