These no-bake pralines combine toasted pecans and shredded coconut in a rich, caramel-like mixture for a deliciously sweet treat. Perfect for sharing or indulging!
Preheat a skillet over medium heat and toast the chopped pecans for about 5 minutes, stirring frequently until fragrant and lightly golden. Set aside. Optionally, toast the shredded coconut for extra flavor.
In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Stir in the granulated sugar, corn syrup, evaporated milk, and salt. Cook, stirring constantly, for 5-7 minutes until the sugar dissolves and the mixture gently bubbles. Remove from heat.
Stir in the vanilla extract, toasted pecans, and shredded coconut. Mix until well combined.
Line a baking sheet with parchment or wax paper. Drop spoonfuls of the mixture onto the sheet, forming mounds or clusters. Let cool for about 30 minutes until set.
Once the pralines are set, gently remove them from the parchment and serve.
Notes
Store pralines in an airtight container for up to a week. For extra flavor, drizzle with melted chocolate.
