I concocted my own recipe for these delectable Southern sweets by adjusting several others I tried. My family thinks these pralines have the perfect texture and just the right taste. Packaged in colorful tins, they make great gifts. -Pat Stevens, Granbury, Texas

To address TexasD's comment, the reason we suggest transferring the mixture to another saucepan and not scraping the sides is to avoid the pralines from becoming grainy due to possible sugar crystals on the side of the pan crystallizing. If you'd rather not transfer the mixture and just use the same saucepan, brush down the sides of the pan with a pastry brush dipped in warm water before adding the pecans and remaining ingredients.As for the comment about these not being authentic pralines due to the marshmallows, technically 'okiekay' is correct. But as the recipe description says, the submitter of this recipe developed her own recipe by adjusting several others. When we tested it, we felt it was close enough to a praline and kept the title of Pecan Pralines.I hope this clarifies your concerns.K. Scales, Taste of Home Test Kitchen

What am I missing. WHY pour into another saucepan - why not just add the nuts, vanilla, etc to the one you cooked in?

Real Cajun pralines do not have marshmallows in them. This recipe doesn't sound like pralines at all. It seems more like ingredients for fudge!
