Praline Won't Get Hard

I've attempted to make praline pecans and the praline won't get hard.

I toasted the pecans as suggested. I boiled the praline ingredients and mixed together. Then, I quickly poured onto wax paper and smoothed into a single layer.

The praline is still sticky and won't get hard.

Humidity and altitude also affect the final results. Is that an issue where you live?


It's hard to give you an exact answer without knowing more details, but those are the most common reasons for the problem you are experiencing.
