One of my favorite candies to eat and make are Pecan Pralines. Unlike a lot of southern candies (I’m looking at you — divinity!!), they are not that difficult to make. Plus they are so sugary sweet, they shoot your blood sugar through the roof for the next 3 days. And from where I stand, that is totally what I am looking for in a candy.
In honor of the pecan praline, I wanted to make a praline cupcake. If you have a ton of time on your hands, I would highly recommend making actual pecan pralines to top these cupcakes with.
Now that I am the proud mother of time suckers 1 & 2 (also known as Ellie & Lyla), I choose to take the quicker route and top my cupcakes with a candied pecan. It totally still hits the spot and it takes a fraction of the time!

How many cupcakes does this recipe yield?
I made these and tho delicious, my frosting looks nothing like this pic. My icing is very dark and carmel like.
I’m a little ashamed to report I have never eaten a pecan praline! They just are not to be found where I live. I love the looks of them, though, and am completely drooling over this frosting. (wipes chin) Saving this recipe for sure. Thanks!
Love candied pecans!
Ah! I love the idea for these cupcakes. Pralines are my favorite holiday candy too!
