Made some Creole Style Pralines lastnight..These are one of my favorites....

2 cups granulated sugar

1 cup Brown sugar

2 Tbls Karo

1 stick butter

1 cup milk

3 to 4 cups pecans

Combine all of the ingredence but the pecans in a 3 qt sauce pan and bring to a boil and boil for 20min on med heat. Add pecans and bring back to boil on med high heat and boil until candy reaches 240* on a candy therm. Turn off heat and with a wooden spoon stir very fast until candy starts to set then very quickly spoon out on non stick surface..Makes about 30 or so Pralines...

Roller, my mom was Creole, from New Orleans proper.  She made many a praline, and yours look as good as any she made.  I will have to try the recipe!  The photos brought wonderful memories, and I can almost smell them.

Thank you!
 
Hmmmm, My 100% PA Dutch Granny must have thought she was Creole!!!

Looks very familiar.

Frosty if your Mom was Creole then you came up eating real good....This is a recipe that my Mom has been using for at least 50 years and she taught me how to make them...Bear maybe your Mom was Creole...JJ I want tell...

Sometimes it takes me awhile to do a recipe.

BUT

This one got the best of me.

Followed to the T but used dark brown sugar and a little something extra.

Thanks Roller

Hey these me first y'all
 
Nepas they look good for your first ones. It looks as though you could have beaten them a little longer with the wooden spoon before you spooned them out because they look a little thin. How did they set up...I do like the veration you put on them...something different is usually good..Nice job...
