1. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper, wax paper, or aluminum foil
2. In a heavy-bottomed pot over medium-high heat, bring the granulated sugar, brown sugar, salt, and evaporated milk to a boil. Cook until the mixture reaches 230°F, stirring occasionally after it begins boiling (about 8 minutes)
3. Add the butter, vanilla, and pecans. Continue cooking until the mixture thickens and reaches 240°F, stirring continuously for the first 2 minutes
4. When the candy nears completion, you’ll notice the bottom of the pot as you stir. Quickly scoop out portions of the praline mixture as it hardens fast.
5. Let the pralines cool for 5–10 minutes before enjoying
