OMG! These are to die for! They did set up a bit fast, so I returned them to the heat, and added a little (maybe 2 tsp? hot water and stirred like crazy! They came out wonderfully! I used light corn syrup cuz that's what I had, but it worked just fine! Thanks Paula Deen!

These ended up tasting just like the ones my Mom made for us when I was a child! Awesome! These will probably end up in our homemade gift boxes that we give to friends and family this year.

The steps are surprisingly easy! The candy thermometer makes life easier, or course, but they could be made without it.

The steps are well represented. I have been making this recipe for years. I feel like these really don't have the flavor I want though. I am going to try a few changes today and will let you know.

To me, these pralines taste more like penuche (brown sugar fudge...some cream flavor is just missing. But they are good (I LIKE penuche!. I made them according to directions and they turned out very nice, used a small scoop and mini-muffin tins (lightly sprayed w/Pam so they were contained and even. I also toasted the pecans, and I put them on the burner to warm while the sugar miixture was cooling, that way the cold pecans don't drop the temperature of the sugar too quickly (trick I learned in culinary school.

I love this recipe! I had tried 2 other ones before this one that just never firmed up. This recipe was easy to follow, easy to make and everyone loves them. Thanks Paula!

My first time making this nostalgic treat, and I decided to follow other's advice about the muffin tins-great idea! I followed the recipe but only allowed a minute or two off the heat before adding in vanilla and pecans. this seemed to be the right timing for them to set up nicely! Thanks Paula!

I thought Paula's recipe was great. I appreciate the tip about adding a couple of drops of hot water if the mixture seizes up. I'm in Nevada and it's quite dry here. Loved the recipe and will make it again since they were easier than I thought they would be.

I've discovered that if you follow this recipe when the humidity is above 65% then the pralines will not set up and you will have a piles of goo. If the air is dry this recipe makes some truly wonderful pralines!

So watch out for the ambient humidity!
