Pecan Pralines

Oh yes. Pecan Pralines.  You don't live by New Orleans and not eat these little treats. We have loads of pecans and we love sugar! It is a match made in heaven. 
Pralines are really pretty easy to make. The secret to making really good Pralines is pretty hilarious if you live down here in the South.  You make them on a day with little humidity. 
Did you die laughing or squish your face in confusion?
Because you should! There is ALWAYS so much dang humidity down here.  I'm not sure how the heck the places that make these make them so good all year long.  I just know when I make them at home, I better bump that air down real good or it has to be a cool day outside.
