Yes, these pralines only need four simple ingredients to make – butter, sugar, evaporated milk, and of course pecans. All you have to do is mix everything, allow the mixture to reach a soft ball stage, and drop spoonfuls to a foil or waxed paper. Then, you are all set! Easy peasy, right?
I love this classic sweet candy confection. It is a simple quick fix that you can make any time, any day! A melt in your mouth, crunchy, and utterly mouthwatering treat. My personal favorite because of the pecans and because they are amazing gifts to give to family and friends. And these candy-coated and rich indulgence are a keeper. I have been making these for a long time, I grew up to this. I watched my mom made these. And she made the best pralines. I may not be as good as her but I am proud that I was able to pull this off. And I am sure that you can make this, too. These are super simple, not fussy 4-ingredient pralines that you can prepare whenever you want. Beware though, these are dangerously addicting! Perfectly sweet, melt in your mouth with crunchy pecans in every bite.
