Moo Moo's Pralines

Moo Moo's pralines are divine.  She once gave Leia and me a praline making lesson at Aunt Jean's house on Horseshoe Bay.  Apparently, finding the appropriate hardware (an 8 cup glass pyrex measuring cup) in Marble Falls was quite the adventure.

This recipe makes lots of pralines.  Scoop them out onto waxed paper (you can give it a quick spray with pam for some added stickiness insurance.)  Work quickly--they set up fast.

Moo Moo's Pralines

1 cup white sugar

1-cup brown sugar

½ cup water

½ cup white karo

Dash salt

Mix and micro on high for 4 minutes

Take out and stir

Return and cook 7 minutes and 41 seconds (this is Moo Moo's exact time suggestion based on her own microwave, but your microwave might vary)

Remove and add

 2-½ cups frozen pecans

½ stick frozen oleo (margarine)

1 ½ t. vanilla

Scoop by small spoonfuls onto greased waxed paper.  Allow to set up until firm, then store in an airtight container.  Will store well for a week or two, if they last that long!
