Pecan Praline

This easy pecan praline can be topped with your favorite cakes or simply use as ice cream topping.


Coarsely chop pecans.


After boiling sugar and butter mixture, add nuts and immediately pour it out on a foiled lined sheet pan.


After baking in oven for 8 minutes, pour it out and cool.



* 1/2 cup (packed) golden brown sugar
