Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prepare for the pralines, and set it aside.
In a medium-sized saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat.
Add the granulated erythritol, heavy whipping cream, vanilla extract, and salt to the melted butter.
Stir the mixture continuously until the erythritol has dissolved completely.
Bring the mixture to a gentle boil, continuously stirring to prevent burning, until it reaches a deep golden brown color, approximately 10-12 minutes.
Lower the heat and continue to cook while stirring until the mixture thickens, reaching a soft-ball stage at about 235°F (113°C) if using a candy thermometer.
Remove the saucepan from heat, and quickly stir in the pecan halves until they are fully coated with the caramel mixture.
Using a spoon, drop spoonfuls of the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet, ensuring pecans are evenly distributed among the pralines.
Allow the pralines to cool and harden completely, which will take about 30 minutes at room temperature, before removing them from the parchment paper.
Once set, store the pralines in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week.
