Expert Tips

Praline most commonly refers to almonds or pecans coated with caramelized sugar. This treat is thought to have originated from Louisiana where spices are not an uncommon addition to this sweet, crunchy delight.

Don’t get burned! Use a wooden spoon and a heat-resistant rubber scraper. All metal spoons can get very hot while stirring.

LOVE these. I also pour the praline mixture over pretzels, salty sweet, can't go wrong! They both disappear in a flash.

I made these and added Chipits MILK chocolate chips. Dee-lish. I also thought they might stick to the pan so I used parchment paper insted of cooking spray and had no problems at all. They lasted 3.8 seconds at our get together!!! I will be making these as part of our cookie exchange for Christmas. Bon appetit!

These were great; I've made them twice now. The first time I prepared the recipe as it is written. The second time I made them using cinnamon graham crackers...sprinkled with chopped walnuts AND mini chocolate chips before pouring on the sugar mixture. That small change would give this recipe five spoons! Next time I may experiment with a saltine cracker..I love that salty-sweet combination.
