Prep: Chop pecans and toast pecans on medium heat on a dry skillet until browned. Set aside.
Prep: Lay out a large sheet of wax paper.
Prep: Get a glass of cold water, at least 1/2 cup for testing the "readiness" of thepralines later on, as seen in video.
Add sugar, brown sugar, salt, 1/2 cup milk, and butter. Heat on medium heatuntil it comes to a rolling boil, stirring occasionally.
Once at a rolling boil, stir constantly for 3 minutes, or until mixture reaches238°, or once it is in a "soft ball" stage. (See video for testing tip)
Once ready, remove from the heat. Add the pecans, vanilla extract, and imitation butter extract.
Stir constantly until mixture is thicker and you can hear a "gritty" sound (as explained in video).
Once ready, use a spoon to lay dollops onto the wax paper. Do this quickly, because they dry quickly!
Let cool and enjoy!
