Bourbon Praline Pecans
Day 16! Woohoo, we are Rockin and Rollin with 0ur 25 days of sweets and treats! Today's treat is Bourbon Pecan Pralines!
I have a confession I must make...I gave these to my mother-in-law and didn't mention there was bourbon in them. I didn't think she would try them if she knew they were made with bourbon.
She absolutely loved these Bourbon Pecan Pralines and told me I can make them again anytime.
So do I tell her about the bourbon or just "forget" about a line in the recipe....hmm what to do.
Don't worry my husband knows what is in these pecans and was all for having his mom try them. I made sure and checked with him before I brought them over on a holiday platter.
These Pralines are pretty darn easy to make and perfect for the holidays! You can package them in a cute holiday container and you have a great holiday gift!
