1 (3.4 oz) pkg. butterscotch, chocolate, or vanilla Pudding & Pie filling (not instant)
1 cup sugar
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup evaporated milk
2 tbsp. butter
1 1/2 cups pecan halves or pieces

Combine pudding mix, sugars, milk, and butter in saucepan. Cook and stir over low heat until sugar dissolves and mixture comes to a boil. Continue to boil gently, stirring often, until a small amount of syrup forms a very soft ball in cold water (234°F). Remove from heat.

Stir in nuts. Beat until mixture begins to look glossy; 2 or 3 minutes. Quickly drop by tablespoonfuls onto wax paper, making each praline about 2 inches in diameter.

Let stand until firm.

Makes about 2 dozen pralines.
