Vanilla Pecan Pralines
Treat yourself to a bite of Southern sweetness—these Vanilla Pecan Pralines melt in your mouth and are impossible to resist!
Ingredients
- 2 ½ cups granulated sugar
- 7 oz. evaporated milk
- ¼ cup butter cubed
- 1 package 11 oz vanilla or white chocolate chips (Ghirardelli recommended)
- 4 oz marshmallow creme
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 cups chopped pecans
Instructions
- Prepare by laying two long sheets of waxed paper on cookie sheets or your counter.
- In a heavy-bottomed saucepan, combine sugar, milk, and butter. Cook over medium-low heat, stirring constantly. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat slightly to maintain a low boil. Boil and stir for 8 minutes.
- Add vanilla chips and marshmallow creme. Stir until the chips are completely melted. Remove from heat and mix in vanilla and pecans. Stir well to coat the pecans evenly.
- Let the mixture cool for 2-3 minutes. It should be thick but creamy. If not, add a couple more teaspoons of evaporated milk and stir.
- Carefully drop by tablespoons onto the waxed paper. Let cool until set.
- Store the pecan pralines in an airtight container, layering them between waxed paper.
