When traveling in the southern United States, you’ll find pecan pralines as easily as you will find a chocolate bar. Legend has it that this treat originated from nuts accidentally spilling into a vat of caramel. Regardless of how they came to be, they are irresistible and delicious. Pecan pralines offer buttery, sweet and rich flavors that melt in your mouth. It is nearly impossible to eat just one.

Pecan Praline Ingredients

• Butter: The butter aids in creating a melt-in-your-mouth caramel that envelops the pecans in this recipe.
• Sugar: We use granulated and brown sugar to prepare the caramel for these pecan pralines.
• Half-and-half: The half-and-half is essential for creating this recipe’s creamy and rich caramel.
• Condensed milk: We depend on condensed milk to provide these pecan pralines with a nostalgically sweet and comforting flavor.
• Corn syrup: The corn syrup helps solidify these pecan pralines so they do not fall apart as soon as you pick them up.
• Pecans: We mix pecans into the batter of these pralines because they give the confection a necessary crunch.
• Vanilla extract: The vanilla helps deliver the warm flavor profiles in this pecan praline recipe.
