Pralines are a type of candy widely enjoyed in the southern United States, but Swiss Super Pralines put a spin on the classic recipe by adding pecans and vanilla. These bite-sized treats are creamy and nutty, and are easy to make at home with only a few ingredients. Swiss Super Pralines are perfect for those with a sweet tooth who want to try something different from the usual chocolate treats.

Instructions

1.	Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2.	In a large pot, combine the sugar, baking soda, cream of tartar and light cream.
3.	Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the sugar dissolves and the mixture comes to a boil.
4.	Once boiling, remove from heat and stir in the butter, pecans and vanilla.
5.	Keep stirring until the mixture begins to thicken and looks creamy.
6.	Quickly drop spoonfuls of the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them apart to allow for spreading.
7.	Allow to cool and harden completely and then serve.
