Super easy pralines(pecan candy)

Pecan halves
sweetened condensed milk
1/2 stick butter
4 1/2 c. sugar
2 tsp. nutmeg
2 tsp. cinnamon

Candy will be cooked over range top on medium setting. Cook condensed milk,butter, sugar nutmeg and cinnamon until it thickens, then add pecans. Stir constantly so as not to stick and scorch. When the candy turns a medium brown and starts to harden, pour and spread in a butter greased pan. Let cool and cut into squares.

Praline cinnamon rolls w/cream cheese frosting(bread maker recipe)

Ok.....I love my bread maker and got it for a fraction of the cost during the summer!!! It's by Wolf Gang Puck. So I try to use it as much as possible!!!

This recipe is my little tweak to the classic cinnamon rolls.....Louisiana is where I have lived my whole life so I decided to take pralines(pecan candy) and put it in the center of these wonderful treats!!!

You can find my recipe for really easy pralines in another blog post!!

Praline Cinnamon Rolls

1/2 cup milk
1/2 cup water
2 tablespoons butter
3/4 teaspoon salt
3 cups all-purpose flour
2 1/4 teaspoons active dry yeast
1/4 cup white sugar
1 egg
3 tablespoons softened butter

Directions

In saucepan, heat 1/2 cup milk, water, and 2 tablespoons butter until very warm. Place milk mixture, salt, flour, yeast, sugar, and eggs in the pan of the bread machine in the order suggested by the manufacturer. Select the Dough cycle. Press Start.

Once Dough cycle is complete, remove the dough from the bread machine and punch down. On a floured surface, roll into a large rectangle. Smear with the softened butter. Sprinkle inside with crushed pralines(another blog post).

Roll the dough up into a log starting at the long side. Cut into 12 slices. Place the rolls cut side down into a 9x13-inch greased baking pan. Cover, and let rise in a warm place until almost doubled, about 30 minutes.
Preheat an oven to 375 degrees F

Bake rolls in preheated oven until golden, 20 to 25 minutes. Remove and allow to cool 10 minutes. Spread cream cheese frosting(another blog post) over baked rolls, sprinkle with crushed pralines and enjoy.
