Pralines, made with cream, vanilla, and pecans, along with sugar and a little salt.
INGREDIENTS:
4 cups granulated sugar
1 cup half-and-half
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
2 1/2 cups pecans coarsely broken up
dash of salt
PREPARATION:
Boil 3 cups of sugar with the half-and-half in a large saucepan until a small amount forms a soft ball when dropped into very cold water, about 236° on a candy thermometer. Meanwhile, melt remaining 1 cup sugar in heavy skillet, stirring constantly over medium-low heat until it reaches the brown caramel stage. When both mixtures are ready, carefully add caramel sugar to first mixture, stirring with a long wooden spoon. Test for soft ball and when done, remove from heat and cool to lukewarm. Add vanilla, nuts and salt, and beat until creamy and stiff. Drop onto buttered wax paper. Let cool; remove from wax paper. Store in tightly covered container.
Makes about 2 dozen pralines.

1 1/2 ea Sticks unsalted butter
1 c Sugar
1 c Packed, light brown sugar
1 c Milk
1/2 c Heavy cream
1 c Coarsely chopped pecans
2 c Whole pecan halves
2 T Vanilla extract
1 1/2 c Semisweet chocolate chips
NOTE: Chocolate chips should be chilled.
Assemble all the ingredients and utensils before starting to cook.
(Measure out the chocolate chips and keep them refregerated until
just before needed.) You will need a large, heavy-bottomed
aluminum pot or skillet with deep sides, a long-handled metal
whisk or spoon, 2 large spoons (or an ice cream scoop with a
manual release) and a very lightly greased cookie sheet.
Melt the butter in the pot over high heat; add the sugars,
milk, cream and chopped pecans. cook 5 minutes, whisking
constantly. reduce heat to medium, and continue cooking and
whisking 10 minutes.
Add the pecan halves and continue whisking and cooking until done,
about 8 to 10 minutes. (If the mixture smokes excessively toward
end of cooking time, lower thge heat.) Stir in vanilla. then
immediately drop about 1/4 cup of chocolate chips into about
one-sixth of the batter. Stir quickly and just enough to cover some
of the chips with batter but not nenough to allow the chips to melt.
Quickly drop the chocolate mixture onto the cookie sheet by heaping
spoonfuls, using the second spoon to push the batter off the first
(or use ice cream scoop); each praline should be about 2 inches
in diameter and 1/2 inch thick. repeat with remaining mixture,
stirring briefly before adding more chocolate chips. The cooled
pralines should be light brown, opaque, somewhat chunky and crumbly.
To clean the pot and utensils, boil water in the pot with the
utensils in it. This will melt the batter off.
