Excellent!!!! My husband and I were out last night at a Mexican restaurant where he purchased a praline like he always does and he enjoyed it so much that he begged me to make them sometime. So I did and they were the best we've had so far!!! I too used rum instead of the extract along with regular syrup instead of honey bc I didn't have the honey AND I even tossed in a bit of almond extract for my own enjoyment. Great recipe!!!!

I made a test batch of these this afternoon. Soooo addictive! I made 1/4 of the recipe. Don't have a candy thermometer so I did the soft ball in water test. All that being said. I have to get a candy thermometer as I may have taken the candy to a little higher temp. Secondly my pecans had been in the fridge, but I thought out long enough...guess not, as the "goop" set up too fast after putting in the nuts. Next time I will toast the nuts and then cool to room temp just to give them a little more flavor. The aroma when the rum extract hit the warm candy mixture...wow! Cooled them on the Silpat. Maybe next time I may add a little "heat" to them, just a little something to get your attention but not burn.

Yummy. Just like how I remember them in New Orleans! Except don't try to be more clever than the recipe: I didn't have wax paper and thought to myself, "Self, I'll bet I can just put these on a cookie sheet." Yeah, not a good idea. Still tasty, but now I cannot pawn these off on people at work like I usually do...

These were awesome! I disagree with the previous reviewer that they're too rich - people at the party where I brought them kept popping them like chips and raving! I didn't have any rum extract, so I used about 1/4 c real rum where you're supposed to add the extracts. I first heated the rum in a skillet which brought its temperature up so as not to shock the candying process, and also helped evaporate some of the liquid of the rum. Will DEFINITELY make again.

These came out good, but they are so rich that you can't eat a lot. I think that this would be a great snack for the hollidays.
