I'm getting my Blogging By Mail box ready to ship (yes, I'm a litte late, but I'll send it priority), and decided to make a batch and send them to my BBM pal.
Texas Pecan Pralines
1 lb. light brown sugar
1 cup whipping cream
2 Tbsp. butter
2 cups pecan pieces
Combine sugar and cream in large bowl, mixing well. Microwave on HIGH 12 minutes, stirring after 6 minutes. Add butter and pecans. Microwave on HIGH 1 to 2 minutes, or until a few drops form a soft ball in a cup of cold water. Working quickly, drop by large tablespoonfuls onto waxed paper. If necessary, return to microwave for a few minutes to soften the mixture. Do not beat after the soft ball test shows the consistency is correct. Spoon out immediately. Makes approx. 30 pieces.

They look good, but they must be sweet! Although that's good for this time of year.
Looks good. They look a little sugary.
I made these and couldn't get them on the foil fast enough! What a hard mess! I followed the recipe instructions to the letter. I'll probably put the whole kit and kaboodle back in the microwave to see if I can salvage those very expensive pecans!!
All I can guess is that there's a difference in the microwave wattage. I've made these dozens of times and they always come out right.
