Chocolate Covered Pralines

These pralines are a sweet treat to make as gifts for friends and family! They are easy to make, and look great when finished. A nice way to say thank you or just thinking of you! They will be truly appreciated by others. That's if you can resist the temptation of not eating them all yourself! They are very tasty, and quite addicting!

What you'll need:

1 1/2 Cup Sugar

1 1/2 Cup Light Brown Sugar, packed

1/4 t Salt

3 T Corn Syrup

1 Cup Evaporated Milk

2 T Butter

1 t Vanilla

1 1/2 Cups Chopped Pecans

2 Cups Chocolate Chips

How to make:

In a 2 quart saucepan, add sugars, salt, corn syrup, milk and butter. Stirring constantly over medium heat, mix until sugar dissolves and comes to a boil. Using a candy thermometer, boil until mixture reaches 236 degrees. Remove from heat and cool 10 minutes or until mixture begins to thicken. When slightly cooled, stir in vanilla and nuts.

Spray 2 small muffin pans (12 count) with cooking spray to prevent candy from sticking. Spoon mixture into bottom of each muffin pan and transfer to refrigerator to set up and cool. Once cooled, remove from frig. Flip muffin pans over to release pralines.

In a small saucepan, melt 2 cups chocolate chips, and add a spoonful to the top off each praline. Transfer chocolate coated pralines to a cookie sheet and put in refrigerator to allow the chocolate to set. Once set remove from frig and store in an air tight container.

Hope you enjoy this super sweet treat!
