This Lady knows what she is talking about. No Thermometers, No Softball Tests, No Problem. This is the Best Pralines ever. Quick and Easy. Thank you Toya Boudy.
now THIS is what we're looking for in cooking tutorials. No beating around the bush, just straight up amazing advice and experience that EVERYONE can enjoy! People were cooking like this waaay before candy thermometers came out!! I'm so glad i came across your video. Makes me fall in love with cooking even more.
I just saw your recipe today and immediately went to my kitchen and made them! They were total perfection! How easy and they are delicious. I used about 1/4 tsp of maple extract and 3/4 tsp of vanilla extract and the flavor was amazing. Thank you so much for such a time-saving recipe!
What an incredible goof on the rest of the cooking world! I tried this recipe last night for the first time and my pralines were BETTER than anything I have ever eaten. OMG. Easy, FAST, foolproof. I cut down on the sugar but it hurt nothing and I used walnuts because I had no pecans. But OH how wonderful they are. This Chef has truly pulled the rug out from under all the stuffed shirt cooks who have long complicated recipes with thermometers and warnings and other crap and their pralines are no better. Toya you are a wonderful person to share this recipe and this recipe is just great!
@@toyaboudy I have a peanut butter fudge quickie. You probably have, but all may not. 1 18oz jar peanut butter 1 16 oz can vanilla frosting Microwave each 1 minute on high. Mix together. Pour into wax paper lined dish. Refrigerate till set. Remove with paper, cut. Store in airtight container. I store in fridge.
Yasss girl! Im from south Louisiana so I grew up eating these. My grandma used to always say if ure pralines are shiny, then you know you did them right. This is one of the first recipes I see on here that you have nice shiny pralines. 👍🏻😁 I’m going to give this one a try! THANKS
Fantastic! Until I found this method my pralines always turned into rock candy. They came out perfect this time! Thanks so much for sharing this - you're a great teacher.
I know this is some years later...but THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH for your tutorial! You are very concise in your teachings and what a wonderful show of different desserts you have shared with your AUDIENCE! Thank you
6 T unsalted butter 3/4 C light brown sugar 1 & 1/2 C white sugar 1 & 1/2 C chopped pecans some fine cut some rough cut for texture 1/2 C evaporated milk Vanilla extract or other extract of choice Necessary tools wooden spoon 2 Qt pot !!!Parchment paper
The first recipe I made that actually came out right! Thank you for the in depth instructions. I think in the past, I didn’t let it boil long enough and ended up with drippy, soft candy that didn’t harden. 👍👍👍
I’m trying this as soon as I chop up my pecans. I’ve watched many of UTubes pralines recipes but I believe yours seems to be the most reliable and easiest. Probably the best tasting. I’ll find out soon enough, I love pralines.
My Grandma would make this for Christmas for all of us. R. I.P. Grandma this brings back memories ❤. Thanks 🙏🏾 you Chef Toya Boudy🌹 I can’t wait to come back home and visit you restaurant!
Thank you so much!! I used to make these with my grandma as a kid! Over time she forgot how to make them and I've been looking for this exact recipe! It's perfect!
You are so sweet to share your recipe and technique! I have only made candy one other time and it didn't work, BUT your recipe is perfect and with very concise steps. I think my husband will love it😘 God bless you!
Great video, sis! I really like how you specifically stated your ingredients AND the amounts. Everyone doesn't do that. This looks like a delicious recipe that I will definitely try. 💕💕
OMG!!! I have no words for these!! They're the best pralines I've ever had! I moved from the Gulf Coast to the Pacific Northwest a few years ago, and people up here have no idea what a praline is! Back there I could find one from the local candy store just about everywhere. I stopped trying to make them because I could never get them to set right. The first time I saw this, I ran out and got a ton of pecans, the only thing I didn't already have! I'm making a new family tradition of praline making, to go with making my Grandma's Gumbo on Christmas Eve! (I've made so many today, your voice will forever be my guide when I make them!) Thank you so much for this! A taste of my old home, in my new! I also made a one batch swapping the evaporated milk with some left over evaporated coconut milk from a batch of fudge, and I added a little coconut to the mixture as well. They were amazing! I owe them to you, so I thought I had to share them with you.
Toya. Can I just say you saved me from the ultimate kitchen nightmare. I searched many recipes and watched many videos on various methods of making these "simple" pralines. YOUR advice worked. I made a small batch since I was failing on my previous attempts from other sites and pecans aren't cheap. Your explanation of the process was perfect. Love the video. Love how the pralines turned out. Thank you so much. My waist line however may not be sending you gifts any time soon. All best. Your new fan.
Come to Tulsa Oklahoma. The entire city is covered in pecan trees. I now have more pecans than I know what to do with. I filled and entire 18 quart tub & almost half of another.
I love the fact that you added that extra tip for the praline Brownies and the way you explained everything you were doing and WHY you're doing it throughout the video. Thanks and I can't wait to try your recipe!!!
@@bethhadley9968, yes I like to use a little almond extract with everything. I use Vanilla extract and then add half as much almond so it doesnt overpower. Everyone loves my Pecan pies, cookies etc and always mention that extra something goodness and it's those few drops of Almond. Of course I use extra in some things like those awesome Almond Cresent cookies :) Yummmm made Flan tonight and added both.
@@smileyface4100, didnt know if you saw my reply to Beth but yes, I like to use a little almond extract with everything.

Tonya, sooooooo happy to have found you. You take the intimidation out of making pralines - my husband's favorite! I'm on my way to the kitchen to stir these up and can't wait to check out your other recipes. Your simplification of the processes are amazing and even though I've been cooking for many years I find I still have things to learn. Thanks.
Growing up in Long Beach, MS.....we had N.O pralines all the time.....even had some shipped up to Canada for my wedding......but now I'll try it on my own...thanks for such a cool recipe.....can't wait to try it at home......
You described it so well like the volcanic bubbling and the way you scrape the sides. it's very easy to follow your recipe, your voice is great, thank you so much. And then to put it on top of brownies, I never would have thought of that -looks awesome! Just subscribed.
Thank you Toya for the praline recipe. My mom always used a thermometer 🌡. So I’m scared of those. Not scared anymore. I just made some blueberry cobbler, so I’m gonna wait unti that’s gone, and I am looking forward to preparing your praline recipe. Pecans are good, but I’m gonna use macadamias, and coconut, and pineapple extract. Hawaiian style pralines. . 🌺🌴
I made this recipe today for the first time at making pralines. It turned out perfect!!! OMG!!! After searching through dozens and dozens of videos... I chose yours...... no more searching. This is the best. Thank you, thank you, thank you. These are the BEST!!!! Guys don't look any further...... let me save you the time. Try these and you'll see what I mean. DELICIOUS :-)
Say I’m crazy, but I think may add bacon bits! This is such a quick and easy recipe. I thought making candy was difficult! Thank you Toya! Merry Christmas from Naples, Fl! 🎄🌴🎁🎅⛄️
I found this wonderful channel Monday, August 2nd, and I am so glad I did. I made the Pralines this afternoon and they did not last an hour. Some of our children and grandchildren were here and they devoured them. I will be doubling this fabulous recipe from now on. Thank you for sharing with us.
I thank you for this recipe and tips. I love, love, love this one. I’ve looked at numerous channels and yours is the easiest and best tasting thus far. I did make a quite different praline. I had a huge problem when I added white choclate, it thickened up quickly oh my it was such a mess. Instead of pecans, because I had people who didn’t or couldn’t eat nuts, I used cranberries and oats. And instead if vanilla flavoring, I used hazelnut. I will try to post a pic of those. They were delicious.
I have made these many times. Best recipe ever! Your tips on how to make these without all of the thermometers and softball test as well as your explanation of how long you cook and why have really taught me a valuable cooking lesson. Thank you so much!!!!
This is a excellent recipe. I have been making pralines for almost 60 years and have definite ideas about the best method. I did not think this would work. IT DID WORK. Toya, you have taught an "old dog" a new trick. Thank you.
Just tried this and had to comment. I'm a,cook but afraid of candy making. This recipe is EXACTLY as she says, and the results are amazingly delicious. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. You have absolutely saved my Christmas cookie making because this year I am just too tired. This came together in 10 minutes and no slicing, decorating or chilling of dough or nothing! Wow.
I live in Baton Rouge and watched your video over and over so I could make pralines. If I ever made them, it was a long time ago. Your directions were very clear and my first batch turned out great! Thank you for your TH-cam instructions.
I've tried your recipe and thank you very much! I'm from South west Louisiana and every time I go home from Atlanta I have my friend make it for me. I was so excited that I called everyone I know to brag on my candy. You're the best, and thank you for sharing your recipe and technique. I got it now... Thanks again!
I just found you on u tube today. I've made pralines several times, using a candy thermometer and you're right, Your method without the thermometer was a lot more simple and it also turned out creamier than mine did before. They were more sugary, rather than gooey. I loved this recipe. Thank you so much for sharing. I'll be watching you now that I found you! lol I'll be watching your channel to see your Christmas candies and whatever else you make. Thanks again. Linda from Texas.
MmmmmToya, that looks so good. My Dad hails from New Orleans and he’s been long gone many years. I haven’t has one of these in so long, gotta do this, 🙏
Absolutely delicious 🙌🏾and easy to make. Followed the recipe to the tee, but the texture was "grainy" and softer than I'd prefer. Next time I'll cook it for 4:30-5 minutes instead of 3👍🏾
This recipe was sooooooooo easy, and not having to use my thermometer like I do for my caramel was nice!! The pralines turned out amazing, and were a big hit.
I tried this recipe and it turned out great. My family can't get enough of them. Thanks Toya for taking all the guess work out of making praline candy!!!
Omg... I almost went to lorreta 's buy me pralines but saw your video and was fast out to the store and back cooking. In minutes I had perfect home made pralines. Thank you for this video.
I have been making candy for a long time and I always worried about the out come.You have really made my day and I followed your instructions and everything was just as you said. Clean up was fast and the candy is perfect. Thank you so much for sharing you have made this 66 year older happy.. It is so creamy. YUM' YUM!
I followed the recipe to the letter and my pralines turned out fantastic. The only variation I made was instead of sugar, I used Swerve and Stevia sweeteners. Thanks for sharing!
Bay-bae, this method is fool proof-goof proof! My mother in law taught me how to make candy when I first came to New Orleans and it was so labor intense! Omg I can't believe it's this simple!
This is hands-down the best recipe you taught me how to do it with the tips you give they were excellent advice and they came out perfect if you want to make great pralines y'all this is the one just do it exactly like she says
Oh Wee girl, you're a genius. This is Deborah from Houston Texas. When I tell you I followed your instructions to the T. They came out perfect. I'm so happy. This is the second time right now. They're cooling now. Much love. I'm originally from Jacksonville Florida. Much obliged from the bottom of my heart.
I went through the same thing this Christmas! I made homemade treats for everyone and ingredients are expensive and the time and effort you put into actual homemade gifts are overlooked sometimes. It’s easy to go buy a shirt for someone but to actually put love and time into giving gifts like this is special! Anyway that’s what everyone got this year but I didn’t get to keep much of it for myself 😢
Girl-- just found you and in love with your recipes. I just moved to Texas from California and trying to nail this southern cooking. After I do your pralines I will attempt a try at the gumbo!!!
OMGOODNESS- these were so easy and delicious!! I am a praline feen since going to Charleston several years ago. Gumbo here I come!!! I wish I could post pics- do you have a facebook page??
Thank you so much for this recipe. Other recipes called for using a thermometer and I rushed to spoon them out. Never worked. Can't wait to make these!!!
Thank you Ma'am for making this very nice video on how to make Pralines, very simply. I had never made Pralines before and wanted a lady to make some for me but she was booked up on other orders, so I decided to try my hand at Pralines. I did a search on TH-cam and your video came up, very sensible, helpful, instructional and VERY EASY TO UNDERSTAND! I have now made three batches of Pralines so far and only one batch I stirred a little too long. Very, very good recipe, and most of all an excellent teacher!! Thank you so much, Ma'am! Many Blessings.
Thank you Thank you Thank you!!! Pralines are one of my favorite Christmas treats. I literally tried your recipe on yesterday and they came out Good As A Mug (A DC Thang) The question I have is, where can I get the caramel extract from? I when to three different stores and wasn't able to locate it. How much Baker's Chocolate would you suggest, and should it be chopped into pieces for easy melting or left whole? Again Thank you for sharing your Delicious Brilliance!

THANK GOD FOR YOU TOYA. I've tried other recipes and my candy always come out hard and even harder the next day, and they never had that they're suppose to. I'm surely going to try this recipe tomorrow. Will show you the product of my labor! Thanks again Toya,
You are awesome! Made your delicious praline nuggets of goodness and everyone asks where did I buy them. Of course in California everything is either Amazon Primed or store purchased..lol. Excellent candy recipe and your instructions were straightforward easy to follow.
I made this yesterday and it came out great. in channeling my inner New Orleans. Lol Thank you for making it so easy. i was totally scared of making candy.
Oh my goodness ... I am drooling. Definitely going to try your recipe and tips. I have tried countless times to make these and have NEVER been happy with my results. Fingers crossed. TFS.
Thank you for the recipe it brings me back to helping my Grandma, making this with here in the south. I was born and raise on the bayou of Louisiana. Now I am in Mass. and love still cooking my Kajun Roots type food.
Made your Pralines today. Your recipe was great. Thank you Charlie. The batch came out with 11 Pralines thou. Guess I made them on the bigger side!!!.. Oh well everything is bigger in Texas!Hahaha
Thank you...I'm stuck here at work daydreaming of cooking up a batch. Yes I will try this tonight...yes I will follow your instructions....yes I will subscribe!
I can not believe that anyone has given this video a thumbs down...Thanks so much for the detail and for being so clear--especially on those areas that we may forget all about. I'll be making these this year for sure!! Probably the brownies also. Subscribing now!!!
Those are probably other who want to say their way is better or family/friends of the others. This is a simple fast and perfect way to make these delicious treats.
I Made these New Orleans Candy . But Used the Walnut instead , I Roasted them first . Came out Real Good , Everybody Tried them love them and want me to make more . Very Easy to make .Thanks for Easy & Fast Recipe.

This recipe was sooooooooo easy, and not having to use my thermometer like I do for my caramel was nice!! The pralines turned out amazing, and were a big hit.
Girl!! I made ur praline brownies and they were DELICIOUS!!! Everyone who tried them, loved them!!! Thanks!!!
Girl I'm glad !!!!
I tried this recipe and it turned out great. My family can't get enough of them. Thanks Toya for taking all the guess work out of making praline candy!!!
Yayy!! I'm so glad it worked for you! 😊 and thanks for giving feedback!!
Thank you for that recipe very appreciated.👍
this is the very first time my pralines actually came out right. mixing until the candy develops is the key. thanks for the instructions
Really great and simple recipe. Love it
Omg... I almost went to lorreta 's buy me pralines but saw your video and was fast out to the store and back cooking. In minutes I had perfect home made pralines. Thank you for this video.
New twist.. enjoyed the BONUS TIP‼️
Thank you
I have been making candy for a long time and I always worried about the out come.You have really made my day and I followed your instructions and everything was just as you said. Clean up was fast and the candy is perfect. Thank you so much for sharing you have made this 66 year older happy.. It is so creamy. YUM' YUM!
Thank you so much !!!! I made these today and followed your recipe and they came out perfect !!!!!
Great!!!
Thank you so much. How much chocolate would you recommend adding in ?
1/4 of a cup
Thanks hun
I followed the recipe to the letter and my pralines turned out fantastic. The only variation I made was instead of sugar, I used Swerve and Stevia sweeteners. Thanks for sharing!
Yayyyyyyyy
Bay-bae, this method is fool proof-goof proof! My mother in law taught me how to make candy when I first came to New Orleans and it was so labor intense! Omg I can't believe it's this simple!
Ha!!! Good I'm glad you think so!!
This is hands-down the best recipe you taught me how to do it with the tips you give they were excellent advice and they came out perfect if you want to make great pralines y'all this is the one just do it exactly like she says
Robin Harris isn’t it great? Thanks again Toya years later 💕
Oh Wee girl, you're a genius. This is Deborah from Houston Texas. When I tell you I followed your instructions to the T. They came out perfect. I'm so happy. This is the second time right now. They're cooling now. Much love. I'm originally from Jacksonville Florida. Much obliged from the bottom of my heart.
Thank you!!
Oh help me Lord. I can't wait to make this but,I will give most of it away. This will be great for "my"homemade gift giving...yum, 😋yum.
I went through the same thing this Christmas! I made homemade treats for everyone and ingredients are expensive and the time and effort you put into actual homemade gifts are overlooked sometimes. It’s easy to go buy a shirt for someone but to actually put love and time into giving gifts like this is special! Anyway that’s what everyone got this year but I didn’t get to keep much of it for myself 😢
I just made these. Never baked or done something like this. This was easy and great. Thank you for your instructions. You were great.
Thank you!!! I’m glad it worked for you!
Girl-- just found you and in love with your recipes. I just moved to Texas from California and trying to nail this southern cooking. After I do your pralines I will attempt a try at the gumbo!!!
I'm so glad you like them!!! Let me know how it comes out!
OMGOODNESS- these were so easy and delicious!! I am a praline feen since going to Charleston several years ago. Gumbo here I come!!! I wish I could post pics- do you have a facebook page??
Cooking With Toya Boudy. i need helo plz it 🎄 eve plz
Kimberly Chapman . the hardest part of making gumbo is getting the roux done right.
Welcome to Texas! We're all about pralines and gumbo!
Thank you so much for this recipe. Other recipes called for using a thermometer and I rushed to spoon them out. Never worked. Can't wait to make these!!!
Yes!!!!!!! I hope you liked it!
You go girl !!!! best simple technique ever. Candy came out on bomb status. Thank you.
Good!!!🙌🏾👏🏾
hi mam can this parlines be put on oil or ghee greased plate
yes they can but parchment is the best if you have it for easy clean ups and no stickiness
parchment paper that is
I love this because I don't have a candy thermometer so now I know I don't need one to make the pralines. Thank you Tonya!
Straight New Orleans style!
Love it.
Thank you Ma'am for making this very nice video on how to make Pralines, very simply. I had never made Pralines before and wanted a lady to make some for me but she was booked up on other orders, so I decided to try my hand at Pralines. I did a search on TH-cam and your video came up, very sensible, helpful, instructional and VERY EASY TO UNDERSTAND!
I have now made three batches of Pralines so far and only one batch I stirred a little too long. Very, very good recipe, and most of all an excellent teacher!!
Thank you so much, Ma'am!
Many Blessings.
Omg thank you so much for your kind words!!!

You are welcome Ma'am!
Thank you Thank you Thank you!!! Pralines are one of my favorite Christmas treats. I literally tried your recipe on yesterday and they came out Good As A Mug (A DC Thang) The question I have is, where can I get the caramel extract from? I when to three different stores and wasn't able to locate it. How much Baker's Chocolate would you suggest, and should it be chopped into pieces for easy melting or left whole? Again Thank you for sharing your Delicious Brilliance!
I found this link :) www.walmart.com/ip/2-Pack-Watkins-Imitation-Caramel-Extract-2-fl-oz/703779243?wmlspartner=wlpa&selectedSellerId=0&adid=22222222227250808355&wl0=&wl1=g&wl2=c&wl3=295054904565&wl4=pla-520860064691&wl5=9011746&wl6=&wl7=&wl8=&wl9=pla&wl10=8175035&wl11=online&wl12=703779243&veh=sem&gclid=CjwKCAjwxOvsBRAjEiwAuY7L8iyilEwz4J6MgDHgH0wm9X1DECdxXVLIga9KiLxV4BKvG0iYIwqBgRoCdtoQAvD_BwE hope it helps!
THANK GOD FOR YOU TOYA. I've tried other recipes and my candy always come out hard and even harder the next day, and they never had that they're suppose to. I'm surely going to try this recipe tomorrow. Will show you the product of my labor! Thanks again Toya,

Made your delicious praline nuggets of goodness and everyone asks where did I buy them. Of course in California everything is either Amazon Primed or store purchased..lol.

Thank you for the recipe it brings me back to helping my Grandma, making this with here in the south. I was born and raise on the bayou of Louisiana. Now I am in Mass. and love still cooking my Kajun Roots type food.
Yayyyy! I hope it brings you joy!
Made your Pralines today. Your recipe was great. Thank you Charlie. The batch came out with 11 Pralines thou. Guess I made them on the bigger side!!!.. Oh well everything is bigger in Texas!Hahaha
Great video going to give your way a try thank you. Looks delicious.
Thank you!!
You made this seem so easy. I'll definitely be trying this soon.
Thank you...I'm stuck here at work daydreaming of cooking up a batch. Yes I will try this tonight...yes I will follow your instructions....yes I will subscribe!
I can not believe that anyone has given this video a thumbs down...Thanks so much for the detail and for being so clear--especially on those areas that we may forget all about. I'll be making these this year for sure!! Probably the brownies also. Subscribing now!!!
Those are probably other who want to say their way is better or family/friends of the others. This is a simple fast and perfect way to make these delicious treats.
lol thank you ... you get me you really get me lolll I'm just trying to make things simple !
I Made these New Orleans Candy . But Used the Walnut instead , I Roasted them first . Came out Real Good , Everybody Tried them love them and want me to make more . Very Easy to make .Thanks for Easy & Fast Recipe.
