Using oven mitts or potholders, carefully transfer the bowl to a countertop and stir with a heat-resistant spatula. Return to microwave and heat for 5 more minutes.
• Stir in the pecans and heat for another 5 minutes. Stir and check the temperature with a digital or candy thermometer. If it reads 240 degrees, proceed to Step 4. If not, continue heating on high power, stirring and checking the temperature every minute until it does.

• Microwave on high for about 6 minutes, stirring every 2 minute.
• Add Vanilla extract and stir quickly.
• Drop by teaspoonfuls onto waxed paper and allow to harden.
• If it sets up too fast while in the bowl just add a bit of evaporated milk.
• My problem was always spooning them out before the sugary mixture was thick enough or had cooled enough. I solved that by stirring quickly and checking to see if it starts to harden around the edges of my spoon or bowl. That's when it's ready to spoon out. It's very humid here so unsure how different climates will affect the outcome.

MELT IN YOUR MOUTH PRALINES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 275 degrees F (135 degrees C). Spread pecans out on a baking sheet in a single layer. Bake for 15 minutes in the preheated oven, or until fragrant. Set aside.
• In a saucepan, stir together the confectioners' sugar, white sugar, buttermilk, heavy cream, butter, and salt. Bring to a boil over medium heat. When the mixture begins to boil, start stirring gently with a wooden spoon, and continue cooking until the mixture is slightly above the soft ball stage to 250 degrees F (120 degrees C).
• Remove from heat, and stir in baking soda and vanilla. The mixture will expand some while stirring. Cool for 10 to 15 minutes, then stir in pecans. Keep stirring with a wooden spoon until the mixture loses its gloss. Drop teaspoonfuls of the mixture onto parchment paper that has been coated with butter flavored non-stick spray. Allow to cool completely.
