This recipe is horrible. What watt microwave did you use? Boiling sugar in a microwave is dangerous. Anyone with any candy making knowledge knows that water creates sugar crystals which is incompatible with candy making therefore the microwave is the last place to make candy in. What kind of parent would let their kids near boiling sugar?

@pinkbowdosido It doesn't sound like you've tried this recipe. Otherwise you wouldn't call it horrible.

@pinkbowdosido Did you make the recipe? Even if you have more knowledge of candy making it appears thier recipe did turn out nicely. As for the parenting were you able to identify that only the young girls were mixing the hot liquid. Geeze can we uplift people instead of beating them up....even on here.

YES! these are some damn good pralines, I have always loved pralines since I was a kid but none of my friends have even heard of them so I made them with this recipe, thanks!

Thanks for the recipe.

I tried cooking these on the stove top and had a messy boil over!....I/m gunna try it this way, it looks much safer.

@Monicasdestiny Hi!

Yep, using the microwave is an easy way to make these candies. Hope you have a good experience with the recipe!

This may sound corny...but is it heavy whipping cream or the other kind...i only ask because I am not much of a cook so I need exact ingredients :O

[rockymountainkids]

It's heavy whipping cream, the kind that you buy in a carton. Thanks for commenting!

BTW, it doesn't sound corny!

[michelleefbaby]

seems easy to make thanks!

[rockymountainkids]

Yes, real easy. Just don't skip using the candy thermometer. Thanks!

Nice use of Bach's Brandenburg Concerto No. 5 (Allegro movement) for your background music ... very classy!!

I've always wondered how they got the pecans in the pralines, now I know. Thanks!
