Pralines – can you eat just one?

There is a restaurant in Santa Monica that we like to eat at called El Cholo. They offer Pralines at the end of the meal. Then, I found this delicious, easy Southern Praline’s recipe in an old cookbook that my husband’s parents purchased in the 1950’s while on a trip of the Southwest here in the good old USA. I made them to bring as a dessert to a dinner party recently and while I knew they were good, everyone flipped out. Good thing this recipe is so easy.

Pralines – 4 Ingredients.

• 1 1/2 Cups Brown Sugar
• 1/4 Cup milk or cream
• 2 Tablespoons Butter
• 1 Cup Pecans

Heat the sugar and milk in a saucepan. Stir it often until it starts to thicken.

Add pecans and butter. Then, drop onto wax paper. Done!

Add the pecans and the butter. Cool off the flame and drop by spoonfuls on a buttered surface or wax paper. Done! Salty, sweet, nutty crunch – just yum.

I think I may make these in batches to give out this holiday.
