Recently I was introduced to Pecan Praline Candy. The candy I had purchased was good, but I wanted something better. I wanted a pecan candy that would knock my socks off. I toyed around with several recipes, and added my own kick here and there. This recipe is definitely a winner with many of my close family and friends, and it’s extremely easy to follow. Give it a try!
