Not very good at all. The picture is wrong. It won't be a dark rich yummy pralines. Just eat a spoonful of sugar and half nut. There is way to much sugar to the ratio of nuts.

the pralines weren't as dark as the picture.. more of a cream color. Very easy to make and taste very sweet!!

This is a great recipe and I've make the pralines at least 20 times and everyone loves it. The big SECRET that Paula and Stan did not tell you is this. After you have all ingredients in the pot heat them over med-med low heat until the SUGAR dissolves completely about 200 on a candy thermometer. When the sugar has dissolved turn up heat to med-med high until it reaches 238 on the candy thermometer. Keep adjusting your flame as the cream can and does scorch. .I place my candy onto parchment lined baking sheet.

Love this recipe, grit and all! Exactly how I remember eating them as a child. Made them today for the first time, exactly as recipe dictated, I think it took a little longer than the directions said. Not hard at all. Shared with my friends whom never had before, they feel in love with them. Thank you Stan Strickland for bringing back a piece of my happy childhood!

I was looking for a good recipe to use, as I wanted to give a praline as a favor for those attending my mom's birthday party (originally from New Orleans. This is a WONDERFUL recipe. Very simple and easy. It did take awhile to get to the soft ball stage.....but I continued to stir and check (the temp until it got there. I also roasted my pecans and added a little salt and vanilia. Perfect! My guests are gonna love it!!!!!!

I tried this recipe trying to kindle childhood memory's of my father's. The taste was close but the tecture was not there they were a bit grainy. I think that I needed to bring the sugar up a a slower boil and add some vanilla. I will try this again because he does use high quaily materials.

I love this recipe. It's so simple and no corn syrup or strange ingredients!! It does take the full half hour but it's worth it when you start to devour them. I have used this recipe twice now and it's just great. The only changes I have made is quantities. There is nothing I would change and I plan to use this one for every praline making event. And to other reviews on here. There is no grainy texture if done right. The ones I made tonight are cooling and look so pretty I almost don't want to eat them or share them... but I will!
