- 2 cups Pecan halves Raw and unsalted
- 1 cup Brown sugar Light or dark, as preferred

Prepare the Ingredients:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Place parchment paper on a baking sheet to make cleanup easier.
Make the Praline Coating:
In a saucepan over medium heat, combine butter, brown sugar, heavy cream, and salt.
Stir constantly until the mixture melts and becomes smooth (about 3-5 minutes).
Remove from heat and stir in vanilla extract.
Coat and Bake the Pecans:
Add pecans to the mixture and stir until fully coated.
Spread them evenly on the baking sheet.
Bake for 10-12 minutes, stirring halfway, until golden and aromatic.
Let them cool completely before serving.
