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.

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.
