This is my first time seeing Praline made in a Skillet 🍳 Whow,how unique!!! I can’t wait to try this SKILLET Method.
8 years later... THANK YOU!
Will definitely try! I hope they come out as nice as yours!
Happy 2023!
Thanks and Happy New Year Aliska!!!!
I never comment. In fact this is my first comment ever on RUclips but this recipe was AMAZING. They turned out perfectly. Taste just like the ones I bought in New Orleans!
+Jennifer Pool Hi Jennifer, so glad you enjoyed the recipe. Now you can impress all of your family and friends for the holiday! I appreciate the comment!! Merry Christmas!!

T-ROY COOKS subscribed. Checking out all your recipes Great channel. Trying chicken fried steak next
I love this candy
Me too Linda! It's good stuff! Thanks for watching!
I love PRAH-LINES and I make them every holiday! I was born and raised in Louisiana (Geaux Tigers--class of 1990) and crack up every time I hear the northerners say PRAY-LINES and PEE-CANS!
Jaguars are in the building! Class of '93
Love these... I expermented making them in my microwave, I also used condense milk and instead of peacans I used cashews, which tasted almost as good as the pecans. they were so delicious, I made mine smaller, lol they don't hang around long especially if you make them large.
Lmao!!!
As a Louisianian I tell yankees we do have pee-cans... one under every bed.
😂😂😂 ikr?
Made dis last night added a little brown sugar took out a little white. absolutely delicious. Good and easy recipe. Family loved them. As good as the praline lady makes em.
You go Wade!!😊
Have not tried this yet, although I have had pralines in Nola. Two things I always look for are ease of recipe (fewer steps the better) and a genuine enthusiasm on the part of the cook (always noticeable when it's pizza being made). Looking forward to giving this a go. Thank you for the video.
+Rick Bean Hi Rick, I agree with you that simple is better most of the time. This recipe is very close to tasting like the pralines you find in NO. Hope you enjoy them as much as we do!!! Thanks for watching!
Thanks for the recipe Troy
There are so many ways to make pralines, but this is by far the EASIEST method I've found. Thank you, good sir!
Thanks for the feedback Lukas and I appreciate you watching! Happy cooking!!!
EXACTLY . IVE NEVER SEEN THIS METHOD AND IVE BEEN SLAVING IN THE KITCHEN FOR HOURS TRYING TO MAKE THEM LOL
You look like a young Tom Selleck! Thanks for the recipe!
these look sooo good
Thanks Clarissa! They were very good and easy to make. Hope you give them a try!!
I'm going to make these. I've been searching for a easy praline recipe and this is it! Merry Christmas Troy and Karen! Cheers!
Thanks, yes it is very easy to do. This was my 1st try at it and it turned out great. I appreciate you watching and we wish you and your family a Very Merry Christmas & Happy New Year!!!
Thankyou for the recipe. Much appreciated.
After another failed recipe I decided to try yours and Im glad I did because these are great! My other batch never set up and were gooey but yours set up just after a few minutes on the wax paper. Next time Im adding more pecans because you can never have too many.
I could listen to your dulcet tones for ever!
Awe, thank you so much Susan. I really appreciate that. Thanks so much for watching and I hope you have a wonderful week!!!
Great Cook man!! my grandmother used to make these all the time YUM
Thanks Joe, they are addictive! Happy New Year to you and the family!!!
WOW, my husband has been desiring this candy, what a Blessing to have found this recipe 😃‼️ THANK YOU
for sharing ‼️
I just made some Peanut Brittle which ended up looking more like your PROLLEENS. Can't wait to taste them!
While I'm not a big "sweets" person, my dad would go bonkers for these, so I'll surprise him with these for X-mas. Thanks, Troy.
Hi Phil, I'm sure your Dad will love these if he enjoys sweets. You'd better make a double batch of them. They are addictive!! Have a wonderful week my friend!!!
These are AWESOME.. You did a great job.. I learned out to make these when I took some cooking classes in NOLA in the French Quarters.. Exactly the same way..
T-Roy, you are by far my favorite RUclips cook and I love your channel! You do a really awesome job not only with the cooking, but also keeping your viewers entertained and making them feel as if they are in your kitchen watching you do this. Thank you for the awesome uploads!
That's very kind of you to say. I appreciate your support Alexander. I'll do my best to keep doing what I've been doing. If I start slipping, please let me know!!! LOL
First time I saw a recipe for pralines made by browning part of the sugar and using an iron skillet😊
Making these tonight! Thanks for sharing!
Those look exactly how my mom use to make back when I lived in Nawlins. I see other recipes and they don't look right. I was born and raised in NO and grew up eating those. Look forward to making a batch!
Those look delicious and we love pecans in anything, lol. Thanks so much and God Bless, xxx
Thank you so much Pam. Hope you and the family had a wonderful Holiday season. Great to hear from you again. God Bless you too!!! Happy New Year!!!
Trying to catch up on some video's. Hope y'all had a wonderful Christmas and have a Happy New Year! Take care and tell your sweet wife hello, :)
This is one of my most favorite desserts. I just made your recipe and they are delicious!! Thank you for sharing.
+Imhoff Designs Thanks for the kind words. Glad you decided to try my recipe. I'm pleased that you enjoyed them. They are pretty good, huh? LOL
+T-ROY COOKS , They are the best!!
+Imhoff Designs Very cool, thanks again!!!
My mom is from Louisiana and I made these and MAN they were a HIT
These will ship fine in the mail......hint hint....LOL Great recipe Troy!
How about if I hand deliver them to you Larry? They did turn out great buddy. I appreciate you watching and hope you have a wonderful week!!!
Troy those look great. The whole family loves pralines. So good at Christmas time. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks brother, my family loves pralines also. It's some sugary goodness!!!
Looks good & easy, with no candy thermometer. I can't wait to make them.
love your savoies hat love their products
I love it! I think the New Orleans Pralines with less sugar are much better though. So soft and chewy.
Patti White I agree. I thought he used too much sugar and they looked burnt. I like Charlie Andrews' recipe. In that recipe, he doesn't add a pinch of salt. I do. They are delicious. God bless.
We just made mess of your Pralines. They are cooling now but I already sampled them and man are these good. Thanks for the recipe and vide to show how it is done! See y'all later, I got Pralines to eat! LOL
+The Wingman I'm so happy to hear that you enjoyed the recipe. Those pralines are just like you would find in the New Orleans area and they are very good indeed. Happy eating!!!!
I was just found your video. I was looking for a easy recipe without the use of 100 utensils and ingredients. This is perfect. I already had most of the ingredients in my cabinet. Your directions were not complicated at all. They look so good. Better than the ones in the stores for almost four dollars a piece. Thanks you for keeping it simple. P.S. Love the Doggy.
I just made this recipe as shown in the video, and the pralines came out beautifully. I made a couple of errors, though. I used 2 tablespoons of butter instead of 1/2 tablespoon-I followed what I thought I saw and didn’t read the recipe. :-( I also used 4 cups of pecans instead of 1.5-I had a monster-sized bag of pecans from Costco that I wanted to use up. I ground 1 cup of the pecans finely and coarsely chopped the rest.
I think the biggest lesson I learned was to to preheat my cast iron skillet to high heat before adding the sugar, and evenly add the sugar in the middle of the skillet. What I actually did was to sprinkle the sugar across the entire bottom of my skillet and THEN turn on the heat. Because the sugar on the edges was cooler than the sugar heating in the center of the pan, it tended to clump and crystallize instead of melt. This led to some jagged spots on the bottom of the pan when I was stirring in the rest of the sugar and evaporated milk; as a consequence, I inadvertently splattered some on my hand while stirring. Ouch!
Despite my mistakes, I can’t wait to make another batch.
😅
Hey! In the video it looks like you use 2 tbsp of butter but the recipe says 1/2 tbsp. Can you clarify how much you used? Thank you! The recipe looks great!
Great Christmas Decorations ‼️❤️❤️❤️JESUS IS THE REASON FOR THE SEASON
That's not that much butter,,,,I make em' with 3 times as much,,,maybe that's where I am goin' wrong? I will try this exactly like you do,down to the iron skillet!
sweet geeezus those look tasty ! good stuff my man !
Whip up a batch of them John. Your wife will love them!!! Thanks brother!
Looks very easy....my families recipe calls for eagle brand milk...l gonna try your recipe and l add cannabis butter. ....delicious. My family is from Lake Charles.
I'd say send me some of them, but hell, they look easy enough I think even I could pull them off. Guess I should give it a shot. Thanks bro!
Dude, Cat will love you more for making these!! Women can't get enough of them! They literally melt in your mouth with awesome sugary goodness. Do a video bro!!! Have a great week Bubba!!!!
Well alrighty then, I will sir. Lol. Just for her though cause I'm not going to want any of them of course
Bubbas Grub Yeah, you're like me Bubba. You're too "Manly" to be eating something this sweet! LOL NOT!!!!
T-ROY COOKS I might try one, but will have to add tabasco and a couple ghost peppers the MAN it up a bit
Bubbas Grub I heard that! You'd have to add lots of ghost pepper to balance out all that sweetness. LOL
Since i met ur channel couple days ago ive gained a couple pounds my guy.
i did the peanut brittle and put it in some icecream that i made with banana n coconut flakes lord have mercy and bless t roy
I will try them for the holiday
Troy, your Louisiana Pralines look delicious! Thanks so much for the recipe. Blessings to you and yours...
Hi Jen, I'd love to see your recipe for pralines one day. These little sugary treats don't last long around my home! LOL Thanks for watching and I hope you have a very blessed week also!!
Praylins? The rest of the country is wrong! 😂
T-Roy, are you a professional cook? You make this look e-z. Just know that I say pray-lean, not praw-lean, but no matter how you say it, it’s a scrumptious candy!
Hey, Troy! I love Pralines and those look so delicious. I've never made Pralines before but I need to give it a try! Wishing you and Karen a very Merry Christmas!
Hi Karen, I appreciate you stopping by and glad you enjoyed the video. Pralines are so very good and this recipe really turned out great. I hope you do give them a try sometime. They are very addictive!! Thanks for the kind wishes and I wish you and your family a very Merry Christmas also and a Happy and Prosperous New Year!!!
food jazz i
Hey!! We do almost the same thang but I like yours better
1 stick butter
1 can milk
2 cups sugar
And then just cook it down til it’s the color you like and add pecans
But I’m going to try your way and make caramel first 🤙🏻🤙🏻🤙🏻
T-Roy, you sure make these look easy and delicious! Perhaps too easy and delicious, because now I'm sorely tempted to make these, and eat them all myself! Great job!
Give them a try John! They are mighty fine sugary treats and they will disappear very fast if you set them out on the countertop! LOL Thanks for watching my friend and I hope you have a wonderful week!!!
I only make these once a year bc my husband will eat the whole batch!
Awe, your poor husband. They do get eaten quickly! Thanks for watching Chevy!!
T-Roy, do you use a candy thermometer at all or do you just eyeball it? I don't think I'm "seasoned" enough to eyeball it! 👀
Chevy Brown It's funny you should ask. First off, when I shot this video and the video for Peanut Brittle, I eyeballed it and went by smell and appearance alone. No thermometer was used. Karen loved the peanut brittle and asked me to make another batch a few days ago. I decided to use a candy thermometer and the sugar mixture burned before hitting the required temp. So, it just goes to show you that sometimes you need to trust your instincts instead of a thermometer. Needless to say, I did make a successful 2nd batch of peanut brittle without the thermometer after the other batch got burnt. So, Karen is happy and I'm happy. Trust your instincts Chevy.
I made these today for the first time. I didn't get the same color but they are definitely delicious. Thanks for sharing!
Thanks very much for the feedback. I'm glad you gave the recipe a try and enjoyed it. They are really good and addictive! LOL
I know this is an older video but thank you so much for sharing your talent! I've always wanted to learn how to make this in my town in southern Louisiana!
Made these as per your instructions and they are delicious. The next time l made them l made two slightly different changes. First, l toasted my pecans and second, l used my homemade vanilla extract. Either way they are very easy to make & delicious!!
Hey T Roy these were really good 😊! I even made a batch with a dash of coman.
Thank you for the Beautiful Recipe!! Cant wait to make this:) You make this look so easy:)
This is the quickest I found yet thank you sir.
I love to see a man cook!! You know the ones NOT on Food Network😆
BUTTERMILK PRALINES
Preheat oven to 350 and spread 1c pecan halves on cookie sheet in oven to roast for about 5 minutes. Take out add 1tbsp real butter and pinch salt, mix together, set aside.
In heavy bottom deep pot add 1c whole buttermilk, 2c sugar, 1tsp baking soda. Mix together over medium/low heat,only until mixed. Don't scrape sides.
Stir occasionally into it reaches 234 on candy thermometer. Take off heat, add 2 tbsp real butter, 1 tbsp vanilla,mix, then add the 1c roasted pecans. Mix together until it STARTS to lose it's gloss or when you can FEEL it getting a little thicker. Drop by tbsp on wax/parchment paper.
Let dry completely. Store in airtight container, separating between layers with wax/parchment paper. Don't double batch. Cook in cool dry area.
I make these for weddings and such. Very requested. ♡♡
Enjoy.
(Fmly from Louisiana... NAMES I CAN'T PRONOUNCE. LOL)
These are not chewy, but have a slight snap to them when cooked to 234 degrees.
I burnt my first batch, the sugar caramelized much faster than I imagined. Also using an electric range if that makes a difference. Will try again.
Yes...that's what I've been missing. I completely forgot about browning some of the sugar like Grandma used to do.
Thank you!!!
So glad that I could help bring back fond memories of your Grandma cooking. Luckily, I still have my 91 yr old Grandma to watch in the kitchen and I cherish every moment. Thank you very much for watching!!! Happy cooking!!! Cheers, Troy
Yeah but brown sugar has a brown sugar flavor🤔
Awesome! Yummy
This is a fail proof recipe. Made them fit the first time with no issues. I’ve tried several and never succeeded. It’s more than a recipe- this shows techniques for success! Sooo good! 😋
Thanks for sharing. Good recipe. I actually just made some. I will try to post how I made mines.👍
Looks good T-Roy, thanks for your great videos, you make cooking enjoyable and I love the Southern spin on your recipes.
Thank you so much for the kind words. I grew up in La, so the Southern spin on my food comes naturally. I do love to cook and am glad that you enjoy my videos. I appreciate your support!
Just seeing this in 2020 🙂 From Baton Rouge (BRHS) & Praw-Leens is the only way to go! Pray-lean is a big nooo! Love ‘em & will try your recipe soon.
USE PARCHMENT PAPER NOT WAX PAPER if you don’t want your pralines to stick to your countertops.
Omg, this was so easy pese, I did everything except I added peppermint extra and I also added peppermint schnapps to it, it turned out good
Perfect!!
Oh my goodness Troy those look so delicious I will definitely accept a box of those for Christmas FEDX style LOL? Don't blame you for sampling 😬😬😬 yum
Hey Angie, you would love the sugar kick that these little treats give your metabolism. LOL Lots of energy from these little treats! They are very addictive though. Have a wonderful week my dear friend!!!
I made these exactly as you did and they came out perfect thanks for sharing!
Hi Rose, I am glad you enjoyed the recipe. I appreciate you watching and leaving feedback!!! Wishing you a wonderful week! Cheers, Troy
My aunt was raised in the south and she insists on calling them pray-lines. Lord, that woman can be infuriating sometimes.
That's how my wife says it also and she is from Texas. LOL
@@TROYCOOKS Lol! I just made some pralines using your recipe and they came out great! We're having having a new orleans themed birthday party for my dad tomorrow so I'm sure everyone will love them!
Um...um...those look good. When I saw “Louisiana”, I thought they were going to have Louisiana hot sauce in them.😉
Darn your video was awesome, straight to the point and easy explanation... will try your recipe
Jummy! I love this treat, now I know how to make it my self. Thanks for sharing the tip
Yummy. Thank you T-ROY
+LaLa I Glad to help!!! Thanks so much for watching!
You're welcome
I went to New Orleans once in the early 1970s and went to the French Quarter and bought pralines. So so good. These here look like the right consistency, but why not use brown sugar instead of burnt white sugar? Seems strange to me.
Hello your recipe and easy but tell you thay this sweet is veru typical Canary Islands (Spain) at parties.a little hello and l give ypu a like
Why do people use wax paper, wax melts! Use parchment paper or a Silpat™ mat. Plus you cooked down the sugar at too high a temp, that's why your pralines looked burnt
I spent six years in the Fort Polk area and I fell in love with all things Louisiana. Pralines were one of my favorites. I always wanted to make some but was a bit intimidated. I'll definitely make this! Thanks Troy!
I hope you do give it a try Jason. It's a wonderful recipe and it tastes just like those pralines from New Orleans. Melt in your mouth goodness!!! Just be sure you make these on a sunny day. A day with high humidity will keep these from turning out right. Enjoy it my friend!!!
Your Louisiana Pralines look divine Troy! I love pralines, so I know I will really enjoy this recipe! This is great for Christmas. Thanks so much for sharing! Have a most blessed day my friend...
Thanks Amy!! I'm definitely going to try some of your fudge recipes too. I love this time of year and it's great to have awesome friends such as you in my life! Thank you so very much Amy and I hope you have a very blessed week!!!
Could you pour it into a pan and cut it in squares when set?
Great job!! yours look delicious i been looking to make some for the fall and winter.. im also from Louisiana nothing like homemade pralines👍👍
+GorgeousWoman504 Hello Gorgeous!!! My wife asks me to make these pralines often. She's from here in Texas and had never had a true Southern Praline. Good stuff for sure!!! It's almost Gumbo weather!!! Geaux Tigers & Saints!!!
+T-ROY COOKS ohh ok well i kno she enjoys them.. and yes gumbo season im so ready Football season too im a huge saints fan..👍
👍🏻👍🏻💜👍🏻❤️🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻👵🏼 looks mighty YUMMY YUMMY
Thanks for sharing! We made pralines today and they are awesome!
man u need to try the microwave version. instead of evaporated milk use sweetened condensed milk.Use a plastic safe microwave bowl. done in 12 minutes. they are so good!
I’m one of the weird kids. I love old style candies. And these are amazing
I'm from Los Angeles.....and these are delicious.
Gonna try this with some Georgia Pe-cans...Ann from Georgia
New subbie here thank you for your time will try this today...
Lovely! When I was in the second grade in Ohio, c. '64, someone brought pralines from Louisiana for us to try. I was amazed and obviously never forgot it! Uprated.
They are a huge hit around the holidays here in the Southern US. We can usually find them pretty much anytime of the year in the gas stations like 7-Eleven, but they aren't as good as homemade. Thanks!!
@@TROYCOOKS T-Roy, nothing is as good as homemade. I want to make my own tortilla chips, for example, just because I want to avoid all the processing, extra sodium, etc. But homemade pralines sound sooo yummy. 😁
OMG, they look awesome!
They were awesome Cheryl. I ate the last one last night. Mmmmm!!!!
LOL.... OH NO :) .... and I was going to stop by for one.... LOL....LOL.... Have a great day!
Now T-Roy that's a fine sweet looking treat, gon ah' try that recipe for sure, thanks for sharing!
Hey DW, Sheila will love you more for making these!! Karen has already eaten just about all of these that I made. She also ate all of the peanut brittle!! LOL Thanks for watching brother and I hope you have a wonderful week!!!
This was my second time making these and they come out very Sandy. What am I doing wrong? :(
Same!!! Ughhh I feel like the sugars should be melted
Cest bon
Very nice! I made this and it got stuck on the wax paper :/ any reason why you think ? Thanks!
So about how long did it take you cook it all together ??
Those have awesome flavor.
However when I made them from your recipe, they came out sticky and gooey. Could not get them off the wax paper. But they tasted great, just a mess. Any ideas what I did wrong?
Hey Mo, same thing happened to me the 2nd time I made them. You didn't cook the mixture long enough. I bet another 3 to 5 mins would have made a big difference how they turned out. I guess I truly had beginners luck when I made this video! LOL Give them a try again and let me know how they turned out. My 3rd time was excellent. Just keep practicing on it and you'll get it. Like you say, they taste good regardless of how they turn out. LOL
T-ROY COOKS
Thanks, I will try again next week. While they are still gooey, they are still good :)
Yummyyy!
+Kia L Hi Kia, these taste just like those pralines from New Orleans. Definitely Yummy!!! Thanks so much for watching and I hope you have a wonderful Summer!!
Try it with buttermilk in place of evaporated you will love the difference.
