1 1/4 c. sugar
3/4 c. light brown sugar
1/2 c. evaporated milk
4 tbsp. butter
1 tbsp. vanilla
1 1/2 c. broken or minced nuts
Put sugars and milk into pan and cook to soft ball stage. Take off heat and add butter, vanilla and pecans. Stir until mixture begins to lose its gloss, then spoon onto waxed paper. Easy!
Traditionally made with pecans, but delicious with cashews, too!
I have never seen this recipe to fail when there is a crowd. Kids love it and so do adults.
Oh boy do I ever need some cashew pralines right about now...
They are the easiest thing in the world to make.... I hope you will get in the mood one day, and save the whole pan for yourself! The smell alone is halcyonic bliss!
