Nilla Pralines 24 NILLA Wafers 1 cup granulated sugar 1 cup firmly packed light brown sugar 2/3 cup whipping cream 1/4 cup water 2 tablespoons margarine or butter 1 cup PLANTERS Pecans, chopped 2 teaspoons vanilla extract Cover 2 cookie sheets with wax paper; place 12 wafers 2-inches apart on each sheet. Heat sugar, brown sugar, cream and water in 3-quart saucepan on medium heat, stirring constantly until sugar dissolves. Cook without stirring until temperature reaches 235 degrees F (soft ball stage). Add margarine; do not stir. Cool mixture to 150 degrees F, about 30 minutes. Add pecans and vanilla extract to cooled sugar mixture. With wooden spoon, beat 2 to 3 minutes until candy begins to thicken, but is still glossy. Quickly pour 1 tablespoonful praline mixture over each wafer. (If mixture becomes stiff, stir in a few drops water.) Cool pralines completely until firm; peel from wax paper. Store in airtight container. Makes 2 dozen. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ Access the Recipes And More list archives at:
