Low-Sugar Pralines







Ingredients

1 cup brown sugar

1 cup white sugar

1/2 cup evaporated milk

2 tablespoons butter

1 1/4 cups pecan halves

1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract




Directions
1.    Generously grease a large slab or baking sheet.
2.    In a saucepan over medium heat, combine brown sugar, white sugar and milk. Bring to a boil. Stir in butter, pecans and vanilla. Heat, without stirring, to between 234 and 240 degrees F (112 to 116 degrees C), or until a small amount of syrup dropped into cold water forms a soft ball that flattens when removed from the water and placed on a flat surface. Remove from heat and let cool 5 minutes.
3.    Beat until thickened, then pour immediately onto prepared surface and let rest until firm and completely cool before cutting.

* I used all Splenda products fro sugars
