Pecan Pralines image

I was doing a project on cajun and creole food, so I invested in some help from Susan Merrick who owns and operates cajun-country-foods.com. She helped me out with these recipes!! So I want to thank her!

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 1/2 cups dark brown sugar
1 cup sugar

Steps:

  • Butter a jelly-roll pan.
