Ingredients

• 2 cups Granulated sugar
• 0.5 cups Brown sugar
• 0.5 cups Evaporated milk
• 0.25 cups Unsalted butter
• 1 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 2 cups Pecans (halved or coarsely chopped)

Directions

Step 1

Prepare a baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat. Set aside.

Step 2

In a large microwave-safe bowl, combine the granulated sugar, brown sugar, and evaporated milk. Mix well to combine.

Step 3

Add the unsalted butter into the sugar mixture without stirring it in. Place the bowl in the microwave and cook on high for 3 minutes.

Step 4

Carefully remove the bowl from the microwave and stir the mixture thoroughly to incorporate the butter.

Step 5

Return the bowl to the microwave and cook on high for an additional 3 minutes. Remove again, stir well, and check the consistency.

Step 6

Microwave for a final 3 minutes. The mixture should now be thickened and bubbling. Remove the bowl from the microwave.

Step 7

Add the vanilla extract and pecans to the hot mixture. Stir quickly and thoroughly to coat the pecans evenly.

Step 8

Working quickly, drop spoonfuls of the praline mixture onto the prepared baking sheet. Try to form individual rounds, but don’t worry if they are irregular – they will still taste amazing!

Step 9

Allow the pralines to cool completely at room temperature, about 30 minutes, until they harden and are easy to lift from the parchment paper.

Step 10

Store the pralines in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week, or share them with friends and family for a homemade treat!
