  1. These were extremely disappointing. I followed the directions carefully and heated the mixture up to 240° with my candy thermometer. It took about 1/2 hour for the mixture to cool down enough for me to spoon it out onto parchment paper. The pralines tasted so sugary as if the sugar never did dissolve. I also think 5 tablespoons of vanilla is overkill. Way too much. I'm going to move on from this recipe to try another as these just do not fit the bill.
     
  2. I mcade this for my family and forgot to rate it. It is fantastic. I have shared the recipe with both my daughters and mom. Thank you so much for sharing this with us all.
     
  3. I made these a few hours ago for my 7 children and husband.They were very easy and fantastic!!I didnt have a candy thermometer but i used the soft ball test and it worked out great!I'll be using this recipe for the up and coming holidays!Thanks a bunch!!
     
  4. I followed the ingredients and the instructions exactly. It didn't take near ar long to beat this as I thought it would. I would make sure the temperature just gets to 240 degress F. If you let it go a little too long. It will sent up too quickly and it dries out too much to drop by teaspoonfuls. Thank you for this recipe. I have always wondered what pecan pralines were like. Made for PAC Fall 07.

I have loved cooking since I was a little girl and my grandmother pulled a chair up to the stove and started showing me the ropes. <img src="http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/Adopted1smp.jpg" border="0" alt="Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket">
