Pralines

Combine first 6 ingredients in saucepan.

Cook about 20 minutes over medium heat until it comes to a boil.

Stir occasionally and continue cooking until mixture forms a small ball in cold water. Remove from heat.

Add vanilla and stir until mixture begins to lose its gloss.

Drop small portions onto waxed paper.

(Put foil under waxed paper to keep it from sticking to your countertop.) Work fast, keeping saucepan over a warm surface, if it seems to harden too fast.

Let pralines cool before removing from waxed paper.
