I've made this several times with PERFECT results every time. Something I have learned over the years making candy...you are wasting your time (and ingredients)making candy when it's humid or raining...the candy will NOT set up. Also, I cook these to 240 because they continue to cook while you are stirring in the nuts. These are perfectly buttery, soft, and absolutely the right texture for pralines! Thanks for the recipe!

This recipe is scrupdillyishus!!! So easy too! Just follow the directions. I rate this five stars plus!!! P.S. don't take the final cooking over 242 degrees, it will get too hard.

This recipe came out very well for me. It reminds me of a local treat here in Austin, Lammes "Texas Chewie" Praline, except it's a little lighter in color. Also, I used a silicone mat to set the pralines on and it worked great. If you haven't ever worked with sugar before, be ready to stir for a while to get it up to temperature - it's not a quick thing - but it's worth it! :)

These are the best pralines I've tasted. They remind me of the pralines made by Lamme's Candies of Austin, Texas.

Great recipe. Next time I might try dark corn syrup instead to give them a darker color. They turned out great and tasted even better.

I have made these twice now and both times they came out excellent. Never made candy much before but I followed the recipe to the tee and everyone raved how they couldn't stop eating them. Thanks

My wife and kids loved these. I think they are better then the store bought Georgia pralines. Thanks
