Wanted: Pecan Pralines

[zydeco]

Preferably from Lammes. Anybody from Texas around who may have seen these anywhere? It would take a miracle to find White Divinity, so I want even ask for that. But the chewy Lammes pecan pralines would really be nice.

Sure wish I could help you. The only place I have ever seen "chewy pecan pralines" is in Texas at some Mexican food restaurants and some of those truck-stop restaurants along the main highways. I do not think they exist in Thailand (or Asia).

I wonder how hard it would be to make them? Pecans cost a fortune over here, but maybe they could be made with walnuts, which are less expensive. Chewy pecan pralines are out-of-this-world delicious!

Great! BTW, the price back there isn't so cheap either. My last trip over, before getting on the plane, I bought six boxes of pralines, longhorns, and armadillos. Total cost: $153. That recipe sounds a LOT cheaper.
