Louisiana Pralines

1. 1

   Put all ingredients except pecans and vanilla in a 3 qt. saucepan and cook to a softball stage, stirring occasionally.

3. 3

   Drop by spoonfuls on wax paper. (Place a few sheets of newspaper under wax paper to prevent wax melting on table.)

4. 4

   Allow pralines to set and then flip them over.
