Pralines

     

Had these in New Orleans and loved them, so I tried different combos and liked this best.

Original recipe makes 20 servings

Heat to between 234 and 240 degrees F (112 to 116 degrees C), or until a small amount of syrup dropped into cold water forms a soft ball that flattens when removed from the water and placed on a flat surface.
