Microwave Pralines
SUBMITTED BY:
Debbie McDonald
"The most fantastic, EASY candy you can make... sinfully delicious and habit forming. I have only seen this fail once, and then the disaster was the most marvelous gooey pecan praline ice cream topping."

If you wait and add pecans after sugars have cooked, it will cool the mix too much and it will set up prematurely. I have found that you can add the nuts in the original sugar mix and cook along with the sugars and it comes out just great.

I have used a variation of this recipe, leaving out the corn syrup, using 2 tablespoons butter instead of 1 and untoasted pecan halves. I put in everything all at once & microwave for 13 minutes. Stir until mixture starts to cool & begin dropping. If mixture gets too thick, simply put back in microwave for a minute or so & continue. Put on a pretty Christmas plate for a great teacher gift!

Wow! I've made pralines on the stovetop many times, but have never seen a microwave recipe. I was suspicious...too good to be true? These were the best I've ever made! And they are the most beautiful dark color. Yum! I made as directed, but added a pinch or two of salt, and then about a tsp of vanilla right before adding the (non-toasted) pecans. Also, I put at least a 1/2 cup extra pecans, and would've added a few more, but ran out. That's just personal preference though. Oh yes, and I cooked them for about 19 min rather than just 13, but I ~know~ my microwave is a bit weak. Awesome recipe...thanks!

These were so yummy and so simple. I'm glad I gave this recipe a try because I am simply not good at candy making. I broke my candy thermometer the same day I bought it and I've never bothered to buy another one. My pralines never quite hardened up enough to be handled but they were very delicious with a spoon. I'm sure it was my microwave. I'm thinking I didn't get the mixture hot enough. I mixed everything up all at once in a large microwavable dish so I didn't have much to clean up. I would use this again when I'm in the mood for pralines. Thanks for sharing.

I made this recipe for Christmas and my family loved it! It was delicious and very easy to make. Like other reviewers, I added all ingredients at once and did not toast the pecans first. It was great!

The first time was a flop. Stirred too long and it turned to crumbles when I put the pecans. Second time worked great when I took someone's advice and combined all ingredients in the beginning and didn't stir as long as the first time. Very good.

These are sooooo good. I made the mistake of letting them sit too long in the microwave, but not problem - I just nuked them a couple more seconds, and they were magic! Very impressive with the chocolate oatmeal cookies on this site - just don't make my mistake and do them at the same time!! Great travel food.
