Pecan Praline Bites
Ingredients
  • 3 cups light brown sugar
  • 1 cup evaporated milk
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 cups chopped pecans
  • 1 tablespoon butter
Instructions
1
Combine the brown sugar and evaporated milk in a medium-sized saucepan.
2
Heat it over high heat, stirring constantly to make the sugar disappear. As soon as the mixture starts bubbling vigorously, attach a candy thermometer to the side of the pan.
3
Continue heating until the mixture reaches 232 degrees F (or 112 degrees C), or when a small amount of syrup is dropped into cold water, it forms a soft ball that flattens slightly when taken out of the water and placed flat on a surface.
4
Take the saucepan off the heat source and use a sturdy wooden spoon to mix in vanilla extract. Add butter and pecans, stirring continuously until the mixture thickens and becomes creamy. It will lose its luster during this process.
5
Spoonfuls of the mixture onto a sheet of wax paper and let it cool at room temperature until set. Store the finished treats in an airtight container at room temperature.
