Eggnog is one of our favorite holiday drinks and it makes an INCREDIBLE addition to these unique pralines we invented just for the holiday season 🎅🏼🤶🏼🎄🎁
Ingredients
- 2 cups pecans
- 1.5 cups white sugar
- 2/3 cup light brown sugar
- 1/2 cup eggnog
- 6 tbsp butter
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- Generous pinch of salt
- 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1/2 tsp ground nutmeg
Directions
Step 1
Lay out some wax paper and either butter the paper or spray some Pam on it.
Step 2
Prepare a shallow dish (large enough to hold the pot) with ice water in it on the counter.
Step 3
Put the ingredients all together in a pot. Bring to a boil together on stovetop with the candy thermometer clipped to the side.
Step 4
After stirring enough to combine, leave the mixture alone and let it climb to about 235 Fahrenheit.
Step 5
Remove and put pot into a shallow ice bath. Keep stirring the mixture in the pot (which is inside the ice bath).
Step 6
The goal is to cool it down enough that it’s about 200 degrees, thick to stir but still liquid with a glossy sheen.
Step 7
Then pour in dollops onto the waxed paper and let cool for 15-20 minutes
Step 8
** You might be able to do this without an ice bath, we found it easier, though. We used an ice pack under my pot because it worked.
