I know you won't believe this, but I used to cook quite a bit. On the pralines, I love LOTS of nuts, and found that if you add too many to the candy, it pulls the heat out too quickly, causing them to lump up, and lose their shine. If you place a little pile of nuts (2tsbs) about the cookie sheet, and spoon the candy over them, they turn out great. I used to make them with peanuts, mixed nuts, all sorts of things I personally liked.
Pralines... yummy!! My "Pawpaw" loved PrAy-liens and so I grew up eating them all.the.time!
My mom is going to die when I pass this recipe on over to her. We love it!
Thanks for Hookin' Up with me at my party!
