Sweet Southern Bliss

Method

1. Prepare a sheet of wax paper and have a tablespoon ready for scooping.
2. In a large 4-quart saucepan, combine sugars, milk, vanilla, melted butter, and pecans.
3. Heat gently on low, stirring frequently until butter melts and mixes well with the sugars.
4. Increase heat to medium-high and boil for exactly 3 minutes, stirring continuously to prevent burning.
5. Remove from heat and stir vigorously for 2 minutes until the mixture thickens.
6. Quickly spoon dollops of the mixture onto the wax paper.
7. Let pralines cool and set for 10 to 15 minutes.
8. Store in an airtight container once fully cooled.
9. Tip: Crushed pralines make a delicious topping for vanilla ice cream.
