Louisiana Pralines
- 2 cups Granulated Sugar
- 1 cup Dark Or Light Brown Sugar
- 1 stick Butter
- 1 cup Evaporated Milk
- 2 Tablespoons Karo Syrup
- 4 cups Pecan Halves
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla
- Put all ingredients except pecans and vanilla in a 3 qt. saucepan and cook to a softball stage, stirring occasionally.
- Add pecans and cook until mixture returns to the softball state, stirring as it cooks. Add vanilla and stir well until mixture thickens and dulls.
- Drop by spoonfuls on wax paper. (Place a few sheets of newspaper under wax paper to prevent wax melting on table.)
- Allow pralines to set and then flip them over.
- Note: If candy gets too stiff to handle, add a little evaporated milk or heat it again until melted.
- Makes about 25 pralines (depending on how large or small you make them)
