Peanut Pralines Recipe

Directions

Prepare a baking sheet with parchment paper or Silpat and set aside. In a small saucepan add brown sugar. Use your hands to break up any clumps. Drizzle 1/4 cups of water over sugar and swirl around pan to moisten the sugar. Stir to dissolve completely. Heat sugar over medium high, swirling the pan occasionally to ensure even heating. Sugar will begin to bubble vigorously. Continue heating and swirling until mixture reaches 230 degrees F as measured on a candy or instant read thermometer. Remove from heat and quickly add peanuts, stir to coat then immediately then drop by heaping tablespoonfuls onto prepared pan, spacing pralines 2 inches apart. Let cool for 30 minutes then serve. Store in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
