Creating Easy Homemade Vanilla Pecan Pralines can be straightforward if you follow these simple steps:

1. Prepare Baking Sheet: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat to prevent sticking.
2. Combine Sugars and Butter: In a medium saucepan, combine granulated sugar, brown sugar, and butter over medium heat.
3. Add Cream: Once the butter has melted, stir in the heavy cream and bring the mixture to a gentle boil.
4. Stir Constantly: Continue to cook the mixture, stirring constantly, for about 5-7 minutes, or until it reaches a soft ball stage (around 235°F or 112°C).
5. Add Vanilla and Pecans: Remove the saucepan from the heat. Stir in the vanilla extract, salt, and pecan halves until well coated.
6. Scoop Candies: Using a spoon or cookie scoop, drop spoonfuls of the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet.
7. Let Cool: Allow the pralines to cool completely at room temperature until they harden.
8. Store: Once cooled, store the pralines in an airtight container at room temperature.

These steps will lead you to create delicious pralines effortlessly!
