These came out soooo good, I can't stop eating them. Way better than the original pralines.

Very easy recipe to follow. Tasted soooo good, I could have eaten all of them in one sitting ! I should have stirred and cooled them longer before putting them on the wax paper because they spread out too much and were too thin and fragile when cooled. I am making my second batch today with this original recipe, and another for my daughter with quick oats added instead of the pecans. hope they turn out well.
